I’m shocked. This hurts

They went no huddle but it wasn’t a hurry up offense. They got to line quickly, made a fake snap call, and then everyone looked to the sideline to get the play call. But they still milked the clock while not allowing Alabama to change personnel.

Whitt did a few uncharacteristic things that game and it was an impressive piece of self-scouting.…[Read more]

I might be misunderstanding you with the Sugar Bowl comment. Are you using it as an example of a non-traditional Whitt offense? Or an example of what he likes to do? Because the game vs Alabama was not a run-first offense. They ran hurry up and picked apart the Tide early through the air. I think Whitt knew he couldn’t establish the run vs their…[Read more]

its interesting, last season stats:

New Mexico – Time of Possession – 29 minutes
Utah – Time of Possession – 32 minutes

New Mexico – PPG – 34
Utah – PPG – 23.3

So I’d expect to see our time of possession be about the same as it was in the last year (since our defense is better relative to our competition than New Mexico’s to its competition).…[Read more]

I agree AZUTE. The dline will get tired and have to stay on the field making it easier to pass protect. Not allowing subs on a long drive gives the offense an advantage.

The same could be said for the NFL. They have to be transparent with injuries. Not reporting injuries has no effect on the game.

D can’t be more on the field than 3-and-outs, even with using all the play clock on every down.

No huddle/hurry up also doesn’t have to be early for every play. Gives the qb a little more time to assess the defense, adjust the play, check to the sideline, etc. I don’t expect a Chip Kelly Oregon type speed, but with a more spread formation, I…[Read more]

If you bring in a new guy who has had success, I believe you let him do his thing until it is obviously not working. In the past, I believe our OC’s haven’t been given that latitude. Continuing to do the same thing over and over and expecting a different result is not overly wise. Maybe Coach Whitt has learned that? Then again, old dog new trick?

Up tempo means no huddle. Utah will always be a run first team. Get a D tired don’t let them make substitutions.

Utah’s OBlock has spent most of this offseason running and doing conditioning drills.

Rewatch what Utah did to Alabama in the Sugar Bowl

Having an OC and QB that are hand and glove makes this possible. Damp knows the O inside and…[Read more]

I disagree with the notion that we have a right to know. We as fans, want all the info all the time. However, the only thing we are owed, is maximum effort from the players and the coaches to win the game.

we will see, offense has been anemic for years.

Agreed. A lot if questions but that kinda makes the season exciting. To be honest, this is the first season in a long time where I have no set expectation on what will happen. I think 7-5 but a few breaks could end with 9-3… and who knows, maybe it all comes together and Utah pulls an ASU.

I can’t think of the last time Utah was coming off such…[Read more]

Time to bring back the weekly programs. Between the portal and not disclosing injuries last two years I have no clue who is playing half the time.

We know so little about the team I don’t think we even know the questions that we need to ask an insider

PTSD. I’m like a Nam vet hearing the whirring blades of a Huey when I read that sentence.

I miss the days OnlyU was more active on this site.

I have no idea the particulars. All I was told is Utah knows the importance of this commit and they weren’t gonna lose him because of NIL.

This is really hometown Utah vs SEC and the allure of Tennessee

I completely agree. I don’t think hiding injuries has helped us.
