Thank you. 😊

I agree on that. I posted over the weekend that just getting to 25 points in every game would have been enough to be 8-1. But I meant that as a compliment to how consistent the defense has been because if 27 against ASU constitutes a blowup, you’re doing pretty damn good every week.

It’s that next step of changing individual play outcomes in…[Read more]

You’re probably right Rick, seeing as BYU only barely won that game.

What is most damning about WR coaching/offense is that we are putting WRs in the NFL, and they are usually better in the NFL (against better competition) than they were here. For example, Devaughn is a starting WR for the Broncos, beating out Troy Franklin. Yet, we couldn’t get him the ball at a level corresponding to his talent.

I watched the BYU vs. SMU game. SMU was auditioning two different QBs during that game and had zero offensive cohesion at that point. It almost seemed like a throw away game for SMU. I think SMU would beat BYU by at least 7 or more points now.

any censorship is too much but I agree that the amount we deal with in the US constitutes a first world problem.

So I’m going off of our first 9 games. We wouldn’t need Pac12 game or someone similar. Look at our scores. Its maddening. Just something above ineptitude would put us at a damn decent record this year.

That’s also the bigger issue: their SOS is only going down at this point. They still get cache for beating an SMU team that is better than just about anyone thought would be, and K State is still a good win. But if your remaining hope in impressing the committee is ASU, you’d better start curbstomping fools because giving up 35 points to a team…[Read more]

Man he actually showed some signs recently.

While we’re at it, someone needs to take a hard look at Whitted. I assume Freddie has a job as long as Whitt is head coach, and I think Harding is recruiting well enough even though the offense doesn’t seem to be such that it matches the OBlocks strengths.

What are we seeing out of the receivers that makes us think Whitted has been an…[Read more]

You’re not wrong. Hasn’t done anything noticeable to improve the last guy’s recruits – I’m crediting the 2022 class to McDonald – and I don’t see anyone in the 2024 or 2025 classes that was/is specifically recruited as an RB. For a guy who can recruit off Utah putting backs in the league as well as himself going to the league based on his time…[Read more]

To me it’s more like “Dawn of the Dead.”

It’s like all of a sudden someone turned on the lights and they all just scurried out from under the fridge. Life was so much better before the infestation.

I believe you’re right. I think that Whitt is starting to understand that, no matter how much he likes certain coaches, he’s starting to get to the point where it’s a case of “it’s you and me until it’s you or me.”

It’s true.

Yes, from what I’m listening to and reading, Vegas thinks that A. Their SOS isn’t that hot and B. Their performances against weak teams leaves a lot to be desired. Maybe this week versus Kansas is the week they get found out?

So, kind of related but a funny anecdote about magazines and censorship…I’ve lived in Saudi Arabia for a couple of periods of my life. At the same time, I’m a huge European soccer fan, following Real Madrid since pretty much infancy. So, every month or so, I would go to downtown Riyadh and pick up a couple of British soccer magazines like…[Read more]

Man, Glover. Just never lived up to the potential. And I think you are right about Q. I like the man, a great Ute. But the RB position is struggling. Bernard is awesome, but that’s it. Mitchell can’t hit the hole and I have no idea about why the others struggling.

I suspect the whole offensive coaching staff will look different season, even if…[Read more]

I assume a lot of people are fading that undefeated record. 3 points against 4-4 Utah, 2.5 at home against 3-6 Kansas. If Vegas set those lines like they would for any other P4 undefeated, they probably couldn’t get any money on the parochial school side.

You are correct. On a personal level there’s much more and based on the comments of many here I know I’m not alone.
