Apples and oranges. Colleges only get 20 hours a week so there’s only so much they can do. And that time is only available during spring ball and the season.

There’s a reason Ludwig says it takes two offseasons to fully install his offense and Mike Leach claimed he could teach an Air Raid in an hour. You can try to do a little bit of…[Read more]

I think this is a very good estimation of the various thought processes and plans up thru the 2024 Baylor injury to Cam.

With benefit of hindsight that is true. I don’t think anyone outside of the program (honestly it might only be Whit, Risings Camp, the AD, and some high level boosters) really knows what happened in 2023 and at this point it is water under the bridge. What I believe to be true is that Bryson and Nathan were not going to be it regardless. I…[Read more]

“Billy, this is Isaac Wilson. His flaw is that his brother porked their mom’s best friend.”

I have meant to look at this more closely but Utah does not do well in gaining WR separation. I know almost every player, line or secondary, offense or defense, looks to confuse or mislead the opponent for a second in the first seconds after a snap. I know receivers make moves in previous plays to set up other moves later. I know receiver coaches…[Read more]

Yeah, I find myself wondering about this, especially this season.

Seems like when the other team is on offense, their receivers often have a ton of space. This has been true throughout the year. I know the defense has been pretty good at stopping other teams from scoring, but our pass defense has looked pretty bad.

On the other side, why does it…[Read more]

No worries.

Oklahoma didn’t waste anytime as this was his first year. His contract is through 2026 at $1.1M per year.

BTW, Ludwig makes $1.8M per year which ranks him third nationally among offensive coordinators.

Fair point, we also know they took his “C”, and who knows what level of involvement they wanted. We also don’t know what was said in the players only. Usually in 23′ he was with the other QB’s and this season that was the case also before last night.

That’ll never happen here. Football, and sports in general, just aren’t as important in Utah as they are in Oklahoma.

The observation on Risings “demeanor” are total BS. What would you have him do. Yell at the players who are actually playing? Sit there like LaVell Edwards with a frown on his face like he ate a poopy flavored lollypop? Cry like Caleb Williams. What is a proper look for a Captain who can’t play due to injury on the sideline? Last time I…[Read more]

The receivers haven’t really been open in years and it’s not due to the lack of talent.

Agreed. We did a horrible job most of the night picking up the blitz. Isaac did not play great. There’s no doubt. But he’s a true freshman. There were many other issues pointed out that hurt us too. Kuithe believing they knew the routes they were going to run etc. The unimaginative playcalling offensively.

wow, I’m sorry you’ve had such an eventful month or so. puts into perspective arguing about kids playing a game.

Welcome back and speedy recovery

Actually, I have had time off and Ute Nation seemed to go somewhere. Recently I had my prostrate removed by the roots to hopefully resolve prostrate cancer. If needed, I can make health recommendations for our adult men health topic. For now just get an annual PSA. I also weaved in some back surgery since they were feeding off each other. A friend…[Read more]

Couldn’t rec this enough. That essentially is the problem in a nutshell. This not only for Utah but for any program that is not in the P2 or doesn’t have outrageous amounts of money.

This link Estimated NCAA Athlete Revenue Sharing 2025-26 shows how hard Utah’s task is going to be. It’s official, so I don’t doubt the numbers, and it shows that…[Read more]

LOL…I just used that line in a comment on another thread.
