ZW was passed over for Jack Tuttle, not Jayden Daniels. ZW and Tuttle were 2018 classes, Daniels was 2019. Your point still stands.

Even worser than that, Utah didn’t even offer Dart because of Costelli.

Just as they never offered Zach Wilson because they were all in on Jayden Daniels. Even took a commitment from his teammate who was never going to qualify.

True that. And how Jayden Daniels never gets seriously hurt given his frame and style of play, is a miracle!

My excitement is based on just surviving and advancing each week. Our schedule is crazy difficult, lots of ranked road games, but defense travels. If we manage just to survive this week, we get a chance to survive next week. The odds are small, but we have a schedule that will leave absolutely no questions if we manage to come out on top of the PAC.

I mean, we already have a win over a now-ranked SEC team. You saw the Gators run rough-shod over Tennessee right? Holy cow. Swamp in effect for sure, but man they looked much better when not playing our front 7.

So….. I agree with OnlyU. We owe UCLA something after the egg we laid last year. That freshman QB is ridiculously talented, but he’s also about to face a defense unlike anything he’s ever seen. Jayden Daniels never looked worse than he did as a Freshman in Rice Eccles. Dante Moore’s about to get that treatment.

If this is personal favorites/fun to watch factor and not best Utah Safety, I’m going with a ballhawk or big hitter. IMO because of his physicality and ability to separate players from cleats, Marquise Blair was fun to watch and a personal favorite. He also made that 2019 defense nasty and feared (so much that Jayden Daniels talked about it publicly), something missing in recent years.

The heisman was won on Saturday. The o Lu way Williams loses it is if the Utes D turns him into Jayden Daniels.

Based on current CFP rankings and future playoff model we would match up first round with LSU and Jayden Daniels.  No doubt in my mind we would win that game.  Daniels 0-2 against us has talked openly about hating to play us.  If only…

So i’ll warn you in advance, this is going to be a bit of a potpourri. I’m trying to make sense of so much.

1. Bo Nix – transfers from Auburn to Oregon and has had a pretty good season so far.

Is the Pac easier than the SEC? Is this playing into the Auburn and Dan Lanning mutual interest. Dan Lanning took a QB who was mediocre at Auburn and is currently leading the Pac 12. Am I happy for Bo Nix? Is the Pac12 weak?

2. Jayden Daniels – transfers from ASU to LSU and just lead LSU to a win over Alabama and a #7 ranking, jumping them up 8 spots. Is the  SEC easier than the Pac12? Daniels was mediocre at ASU. Did his departure move the decision to fire Herm Edwards up due to lack of a proven QB? Am I happy for Jayden Daniels? Is the SEC weak?

3. Cam Rising – Transfer from Texas, has been aruably the most successful QB at Utah since Smith and Johnson. He transferred from Texas when they were further down than they are now. He most likely wasn’t going to start at Texas during his time there. Is the Pac12 weak? Is the BigXII strong? Or does Texas just have good QBs?

4. What part did NIL play in Bo Nix to Oregon? Jayden Danielas to LSU? Are they better because they have a better OL? Where are next year’s surprise QBs playing this year.

I love what Utah is doing, staying consistent and not a ton of transfers out or turnover. Sure there’s been some Bryan Thompson to ASU, do we wish we still had him? Charlie Brewer – his is 3 of 4 for 18 yards for Liberty. Did he make a great decision to transfer? Peter Costelli – Troy Trojans – no stats, did he make the best decision? Would he have beaten out Bryson “The Winter Soldier” Barnes for the backup?

I’d so overall it is a mixed bag. I wish we still had Curry, I was sad to see him injured so early. Right now our RB room is the walking dead. The top four have all missed games this season.

What makes the transfer portal so good for guys like Daniels and Nix and so risky for Brewer and Costelli (though his story isn’t finished yet)?

ASU’s Jayden Daniels to enter the transfer portal.
