Rose was also the guy who was QB1B coming out of spring ball in ’23. He had the inside track in fall camp should Rising not be able to go per all reports and OnlyU. Then Bishop crunches him during a scrimmage and ever since he doesn’t know the playbook.

I never realized that a kidney (liver?) surgery could have such an effect on playbook…[Read more]

That’s what was really mind boggling. We would be shredding a defense and then throw in that garbage and kill a drive.

I can’t remember which exact game (was a few years ago). But Utes were on a long drive (combination of passes and successful runs) and were down at about the five yard line right in front of us in section 33. They run a reverse and lose a lot of yards and I couldn’t help but cry out “A REVERSE!?!?!?”

You are spot on! Whitt put all his eggs in one basket (Rising) and when that failed, he failed miserably as it manifested itself for all world to see and turned very ugly for him and the program! I wouldn’t have expected this from Whittingham having 20 years of head coach experience and how he handled it…VERY POORLY. Many didn’t like what I…[Read more]

Ludwig always did stuff like that and they weren’t even huge risk huge reward plays. They were huge risk low reward. So many drives killed by running some cute stuff randomly that wasn’t even setup properly in earlier plays.

I’m not sure if i’m right, but wasn’t Rose picked to be the starter, until Cam came back, before injuring his kidney?

Gawd. That trick play in the TCU game broke that drive and may have been directly responsible for losing that game.

Maybe he is a game time decision each week. Seriously either he isn’t good enough to play or Wilson just stands out at practice. Wilson emerged as the clear #2 in fall camp. It’s hard to believe he hasn’t as least got a series or two the last two years.

Too close to New Orleans…

It’d be Heaven if we scored over 20.

Yes. He’s a Never Nude.

I think rose is in the dog house for some reason. Isn’t he the one that coach keeps saying hasn’t learned the playbook yet? Either that or he hasn’t learned the playbook in 2 years, which is a concern.

To be clear, I know that evaluating talent, especially quarterbacks is very difficult. It’s very difficult for the most seasoned talent evaluators in the NFL and college. I’m not even saying that the fact that Rose isn’t the guy is his fault. I’m sure he is a great kid that works hard, but it’s been interesting that all of the focus seems to…[Read more]

I didn’t watch the game, but man, Pitt is making me jealous. They are what we should have been 😞

What do Brandon Rose, Nate Johnson, Peter Costelli, Bryson Barnes, JaQuinden Jackson, Sam Huard, Mack Howard and Cooper Justice all have in common?

What do Brian Johnson, Cam Rising and Tyler Huntley all have in common?

hint: one set of names were recruited and coached up by one man. the other set were just coached up by the same man. Perhaps…[Read more]

Thank you. Literally everyone did not think Utah was going to be fantastic.

I will be an ass. I certainly considered this as a possibility and got completely roasted for it dating back to early part of 2023.

I think it was honestly just a recruiting miss. It happens. We’re known for it honestly with Tuttle and Costelli being in our recent past along with Nate Johnson from that same Rose class. I’m a real believer Isaac will continue to improve though.
