I agree that we are missing the lockdown CB, and that safety play in the box is not at the level of last year. I am out on LB play because of the injuries (the LB play seemed significantly improved yesterday with the return of Karene). For the first time this season, we started getting to a QB yesterday. Pressure will make our secondary healthy.

New poll idea “Should Utah win the football game against Houston?”

Gave up a bunch of chunk plays to be sure and never figured out how to stop the WR wildcat. When was the last time a team trying to finish off a Utah defense relied on a WR running the ball to make it happen?

Nine different players touched the ball for TCU on Saturday night. Only the QB’s didn’t have a rush or reception for 10 yards or more and…[Read more]

All it took was utter collapse. Not so bad.

Hes not the next OC. So the already negative posting needs to stop. He has a great relationship with Wilson. Bajakian will simplify the approach to the system, devise strategies to help the overcome the stacked defensive fronts that have feasted on mistakes over the past few weeks, and provide relief for a freshman quarterback that is clearly…[Read more]

Everybody needs to understand that this is not the new permanent OC. Just a stopgap. So what he did at previous stops shouldn’t be a huge deal. The rest of this season is about trying to get bowl eligible and developing Isaac.

I was just crafting a post about that LOL

One of my counters to this would be that yes, it’s a small sample as of now, but I do feel we were playing better offenses in the PAC. So many guys have been open or the secondary has made a mistake. We don’t have a lockdown corner and our safety play obviously has taken a huge downgrade along with linebacker play. Maybe it’s just the eye…[Read more]

He might make some calls that exploits the opposing defense?

Based on the D’s turnaround after the Utah score, I think the D is likely better than their statistics indicate and would improve if the O started doing their part. (It seems like a case of the D being completely disheartened).

Bajakian is not really the new OC. He’s just a stopgap.

I don’t anticipate much will change this year. How could it?

I was doing some stat searching as well.

Total offense ranks as OC:
2013 Tennessee: 95th
2019 Boston College: 47th, Utah 48th
2020 Northwestern: 93rd, Utah 52nd
2021 Northwestern: 116th, Utah 40th
2022 Northwestern: 107th, Utah 17th
2023 Northwestern: 124th, Utah 94th

It would be very fitting of this season if this change somehow makes the O even worse.

Thanks for the news on Covey, in other news man stepped foot on the moon. I recognize he is playing right now but his time in the NFL seems to have been somewhat borderline the last few years. With his injury I assume that puts his NFL future into grey space. Love the dude and think he is smart and has amazing leadership qualities. When he is done…[Read more]

I just can’t see blaming the D for anything this season. We just saw a game where they lowered their season average in ppg by half a point and are now 12th in the nation. At the same time if the combination of offense, defense and special teams were able to put up exactly 25 points in each game this year, they’d be 6-1.

25 ppg is all I’m asking…[Read more]

I think what have must the deciding factor for Whit in this decision was seeing the latest UteHub “Fire Ludwig” poll results…thanks for posting this poll Tony!!!

North Texas, JMU, Texas St. are offenses that I’ve enjoyed watching this season.

So can we get a more “simple” playbook and get some new plays real quick? Like by Saturday?

even if the next guy calls all of the exact same plays as TCU but in a different order, it will be a huge improvement. And there’s really not much more you can do in a week. Same playbook, different calls and the rhythm to how they are called. Maybe slightly different substitution patterns. The real changes will happen between Houston and the…[Read more]
