It’s 4 games and the bowl game is a free. I have no idea if Huard still has a redshirt, but in theory he could play the rest of the season and still redshirt.

Sure you can say that. But if you’re only allowing 14 pts per game you should win almost every game.

Is it three or four games for redshirt. If three let him play BYU and go from there. He gets a win that could catapult his status for next year. Hope is our only hope.

Been a minute @Utahute72. Nice to see you posting in these trying times.

agreed there are deep issues. But like the Houston game…that would have shifted with even a minor nudge. Thinking we might have survived the ASU or TCU games isn’t a stretch.

Doesn’t mean we’d be a good team. Only that our D and a tiny bit more O would have shifted the outcomes of those two games. That being said…we are clearly suffering…[Read more]

Not with Rising or Huntley. Rose was the scout team qb and looked on highly favorably by teammates and fans. Rising made his fame on the scout team I think as well but coaches went with Brewer.

Scout teams are running plays that the defense can expect to as well? Sounds like a horrible way to evaluate a QB.

I would say if you are not the coach evaluating the QB room you probably don’t know anything about it.

I would hope the Defensive coaches would be focused on Barton’s deficiencies. I would say the cause of those points were because of his breakdowns.

If Huard plays in 4 games, does he still have availability for next year?

If so, he should get a shot. If he loses his last season of eligibility, that seems like a messed up thing to do to a player. I don’t think he’d do anything for his career by playing out the last 4 games of a burner season.

Seems like a wild what if.

On the surface we want to blame lack of talent and experience yada yada. Lot of surface level problems.

Problems right now are pretty deep. Coaching is definitely being called into question. Player relationships. Team cohesiveness.

Plugging in Cam Rising in his prime wouldn’t solve the problems that are on the team.

I think a second strong RB nets us 1-2 more games.

Can’t help but remember the movie Draft Day.

Imagine being on defense. Holding teams to 14 and knowing it’s not enough because the offense is averaging 12. I’d want a spark as well

Risings trip to the opposing teams water cooler has turned in to the programs worst nightmare. Hard to believe one player would have such an effect on the whole program.

Every year the scout team qb is beloved. Rose was very popular when Rising was running things. I am assuming it is that as well but the way this first paragraph started out it seems contradictory.

He told me that some of the D coaches love Sam Huard. That the D and the O could not be more different. They are basically separated and do their own thing.

This is confusing to me. Help me to understand what you mean here? Why would the D coaches offer an opinion on something they are seemingly uninvolved with?

Surprised you can count to 4

I’ve always believed when leaders like CEOs, presidents of companies, businesses or organizations don’t want to disclose information or be transparent with its employees, customers/clients, team members and/or fanbase because of corrupt or damning business practices that could hurt a company, that tells me they are doing shady and nefarious things…[Read more]

Everything should be on the table to at this point for a change. Utah has nothing to lose by trying something completely new. The way the season has gone most fans wouldn’t be surprised if Utah ends up 4-8.

How do we not drink the kool-aid????

Huard can’t be worse than what we’ve seen. We need to send IW to the box and let him sit next to Scott Mitchell so he can learn the game.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. We are always left in the dark and left to speculate what’s going on. Speculation is not a healthy place for fans.
