I think Garcia will be the first lineman off the bench regardless of position. He’s cross trained at multiple positions this spring including center.

I think Dillon has the potential to be a star at Utah. He’s a candidate to have a breakout year. I’m very bullish on him.

Kanai’s length is a problem for QB’s in passing situations. With another g…[Read more]

The only reason the offense struggled the last two seasons is because of injuries.

During the two Pac12 championships and Rose Bowls Cam was healthy and the offense was a juggernaut under Ludwig

If Dampier stays healthy with the talent around him especially in the Oline Beck and him will make the O prolific and Whit goes down as one of the…[Read more]

I’ve been there a few times, and you should absolutely go, especially if you’ve never been there before. SW South Dakota is unlike the other parts of the state, and the landscape reminds me of Switzerland. I highly recommend visiting Spearfish Canyon and Deadwood if you do get up there.

Maybe…but I feel this team is closer to 7-5 than they are 9-3.

There are a few things going against ’em that concern me:

1. Opening on the road vs UCLA. This is a game that I think Utah can win and will likely dictate the season. But as of right now, Vegas puts Utah only as a three-point favorite.

It’s going to be a toss-up and Utah doesn’t…[Read more]

I’m projecting Hall to make a Devin Lloyd type leap from 1st to 2nd year and with his throw game skills should allow Snowden to move outside since the nickel won’t be as necessary.

Working 40 hours a week as a seasonal water worker for a city and 20 hours at Chipotle to pay for college! But my parents are inviting me to go to the Black Hills this summer so it should be fun.

I think he’s better at RT. He’s played it forever. My son trained with him a bit in HS at Tuni Kanuch’s training center. His skills are elite and he’s been doing the one on ones a long time.

Butters,
A couple of questions for you. Garcia at center is new information to me – not that I had any insider knowledge. I’ve assumed he’d be our next great tackle. Is he a tackle-in-waiting who gets playing time backing up Kump at center or is he going to be our center of the future? Do you know?

Dillon over Fitzgerald is another projection I’m…[Read more]

Well done. Thanks for posing!

I’ve heard a lot of good things about Kash. If he’s not starting immediately at the beginning of the season he will be starting at some point in the season.

Haha you’re right! Didn’t even think about it … got it changed

This is interesting to watch. I did not note what Fano did in the spring game. Fano’s interest would be in learning the LT spot for the NFL. Possibly learning both spots which may be ideal. A left handed QB would want him at RT. If or when other QBs play does he switch spots? Is he equally good at both spots? Does he have a preference? A tackle…[Read more]

Excited to see new names almost across the board. Not surprised Richie got passed up. He just hasn’t been the same since his mission. That being said it’s also nice to see guys like him stick around adding quality depth.

You have the starting tackles opposite. Fano is at RT.

It will be interesting to see how Davis and Whittemore are interchanged…Creed’s got some impressive speed, Ryan’s got a better grasp on the offense. Wonder if we’ll start to see some more empty sets to get both on the field.

Totally agree with Charlie – it will be fun to see where Nate and Hunter pop up during a given game. As long as we…[Read more]

Ficklin will be number QB2.
He’s more accurate than Wilson and a more dynamic runner.

RB3 will be Devin Green. Duke will be a special teams guy and emergency RB.

TE in name only. Tia and Andrews will line up all over the field.

I think your list is pretty much what goes into fall camp. RB, TE, and WR will solidify more in the fall. Johnson and Hunter will have more of a roll that is hard to reflect in the depth chart because I have noted Beck has an interest in a hybrid back. Bray has a chance to move up as the quick back option. Lud had a lot of interest in a back that…[Read more]

Most of it looks pretty solid, with the defensive backfield experienced and should be a strong point of the D.

I would put Ficklin as the backup and Wilson 3rd. They can still compete in practices, but Ficklin showed out in the Spring game to be the likely best QB of roster. Start developing him now.

Why start Dillon ahead of Fitzgerald?…[Read more]

One factor that doesn’t show up on the depth chart is leadership and work ethic. This team will be much different than the past two years. Hard to be a leader when you’re hurt (Rising). Dampier by all accounts is a proven leader and has accepted his leader role on this team. Snowden Barton Fano Johnson all good leaders on defense. Add on the dis…[Read more]
