All throttle no brakes bajakian

I honestly have not looked closely enough to assess the OL. I do know that an OL can break down for many reasons beyond the control of the OL and OL coach. Forcing a defensive front to defend multiple possibilities is an OL key and is deeply seeded in play calling. When a defensive front gets on a roll, again, play calling is important to break up…[Read more]

Thanks again for all your input. What’s your feelings on this being Whitt’s last year? Originally I felt like if we made playoffs he’d ride off on his Harley into the sunset. I also thought if we had a down year he wouldn’t go out like that. But this feels different. It’s been such a massive disappointment, toxic at times (this year) and chaotic…[Read more]

The interim OC has a lot of pressure on him coming in to right the ship just a little before the end of the season. Can he do it? I don’t know. After doing some research on him, I wasn’t impressed with his experience and coaching record to say the least, but just a new cog in the wheel. If he can kinda turn things around starting with Houston…[Read more]

You should already know why? They don’t respect anyone else in the Big12 outside of Utah which was projected a pre-season #4 seed in the CFP until they F’d that up, yet again! The powers that be, think BYU is not as good as their record shows (kinda agree with them…) or even worthy to be in the same conversation as the top 10 regardless of one…[Read more]

No, not last year, but he is this year. That’s why I said, “Could have had it this year with Jaquindon but hindsight hinted that he was always injured and not worth the value of the NIL he could get elsewhere.” I think he has 10 TD’s through the first 6 games this year. I’d take that.

Seeing fewer “chaos plays” (sacks, TFL, turnovers, etc.) this season. And starting to look like our streak of a pick-six every season is in jeopardy.

But as has been the case with many of our tougher seasons, defense is doing everything they can to try to keep the ship afloat.

You feel like Jackson was a punishing runner? Seriously?

Chicken or the egg.

While the yards/game number are not horrible, using TCU as an example, when the offense starts in great field position relative to Utah’s offense, there are less yards to give up for a score. The defense has played well this year, however what impact has the field position played? And on the other hand, defense is playing…[Read more]

Everything is fluid right now. Will we start scoring more than 1 TD per game with Bajakian calling shots? Will Whittingham actually give him full reigns like he says? Will guys who should be more involved start to get more involved? Was Ludwig really the problem? Is Whittingham done after this season? If so, who does Scalley have lined up for…[Read more]

He definitely deserve to be on the hot seat. I remember when I was telling you guys that I was worried about the O-line because Mokofisi and Kump are no good, but I was told I was wrong. People on utezone even said that Mokofisi could be a 3rd or 4th round draft pick 😂😂😂

If you have a losing or mediocre season, is a mass exodus a bad thing? Some of the guys have been way overhyped, while others have not been properly used by coaches. Either way, is it bad if they move on?

Fixed your video so it isn’t a link and plays in the site.

If Jay Hill is still at BYU next year, I fully expect him to come after some of our guys (Snowden would be the first guy I’d approach). Let’s not forget, BYU has their own version of Phil Knight who could pump as much money into that program that he wants to. He could pay coaches to stay and pay players to come. This is why NIL needs some sort of…[Read more]

I did some research and Whitt’s latest extension, which happened in 2022, has a lot of quirks. For example, it includes promises of free tuition for his grandchildren, a $1 million lump sum retirement payment, and a 5-year, $995,000 per year contract to serve as special assistant to the AD when he hangs up his whistle.

I know of at least 1 sack where the TE (I think Kuithe) was given the DE to block and just missed completely. The TEs have been a disappointment and I’m not sure Kuithe should be out there. He doesn’t have the same speed since his injury.

I’d like to see more 5-10y TE passes and more screen passes (which I normally hate) to get the ball out of Wilson’s hands faster. I’d like to see another RB carry the ball 10-15 times and not hate life…I don’t care which one but someone has to start developing to back up Bernard.

I’d like to see the Oline step up and block. Wilson cannot…[Read more]
