Maybe it’s just me but it seems like we are playing not to lose. No energy or explosive plays. No special team excitement. The home games this year have been boring and little to get the crowd involved. Reality has over taken expectations. Losing two home games to inferior opponents is unacceptable to me as a season ticket holder.

As for me – I will rarely boo a college football player on either side. I never get booing the opposition as they run onto the field. That’s just not me.

I will, however, boo coaches, play calling, refs, etc.

I am not saying that I am right or wrong. It’s just my style.

I hadn’t heard about this. Tell me more.

Easy. When that player misses an assignment. Seen it many times this year. Player blocks left when he should have blocked right, or doubles a defender and leaves his man or the LB an open lane.

People like downvoting me for being harsh, but it’s just the truth. Our interior O-line is definitely the weak point. That play where a TCU defender just split our Interior O-line like a knife through butter, and was in the backfield when the ball was being handed off, was absolutely pathetic.

When players are putting out “WASTED TALENT”
and “FREE ME” after the TCU game, it’s obvious we are ALL booing Ludwig.

Thanks for asking. You must be about 10-20 years older than me. 🙂 I’ll DM you.

I’d love it if he stayed. He’s awesome, despite our frustrations of the last two seasons.

That said, I think he retires after this season.

To me the Utes are like family. I have had sons play football and in no world could I find myself booing their teams. Even in very disappointing losses. As for visiting teams or teams that I have no connection, booing seems natural and easy. In no way would I consider players entitled brats simply because they are not currently successful.

The booing was followed by the chant, “FIRE LUDWIG. FIRE LUDWIG.” It was pretty obvious we weren’t booing the players.

The reality is simple, even very good football programs at all levels will have down years where they drop out of competition for the championship by midseason. Even the best. At the Power level we should recognize that Utah is not at that top elite level, not in the Pac and too early to say related to the Big 12. If you want to follow college…[Read more]

At least we’ll find out if Ludwig is the problem. The players seemed to have lost confidence in the offense. Now playing for pride instead of championship.

IMO, he is the #1 problem! I believe he is now in survival mode putting on his poker face to show there is nothing significantly wrong in the program despite what we see on the surface. After some players went to Twitter and voiced their frustrations with the program, anything positive Whitt says could be further from the truth. Whitt’s problem is…[Read more]

I just hope we have a single digit number of punts.

“You mean there is still a chance”? Was a line near the end of Dumb and Dumber. Even if we win out to go 9-3, virtually zero chance we are in the Big12 title game.

AS this point I’m just hoping for a .500 year and a Holy War contest that doesn’t bring back bad memories of the 80s (including a rainy 50 point drubbing in Salt Lake). But I…[Read more]

Baby steps

Hard nosed physical football = more injuries. Not all players are built to play that style and are more prone to getting hurt. Strength and conditioning is a big part of avoiding injuries but they still happen.
