QB Play

[D T]

With CR officially ruled out now, how do you all envision BB/NJ playing today?
What’s the game-plan?

[UtesRule]

Is it official official or just what was announced last night?

I’m not giving up 100% hope until we see who trots out for the first series.

[D T]

Yes, he wasn’t cleared….It’s official.

Since Barnes and Johnson have been getting reps for this game – I feel better about our game plan compared to a real last-minute decision not to play Cam.

I suspect that with a strong offensive line and running backs, you will see a better, more confident Bryson Barnes. I hope to see Johnson utilized in the right situations where he can be successful. We need to pass to open up the running game. So I would be surprised if Barnes doesn’t have at least 200 yards passing, probably more.

Scott Mitchell thinks Barnes will not run much. I disagree. I think the Utes will run the read option with Barnes.

Sylvester thinks Utah will go up-tempo/no-huddle offense. I like the idea, but it doesn’t seem Whitt’s style.

except in the sugar bowl

With Nate at the helm I like that idea. Not sure if Barnes would manage that well. We’ll see.

I’m excited regardless. I think the QB spot (both Barnes and Johnson) will be VERY well prepared for this game!

I’d rather have either than Lt Dan Cam. You can get medically cleared WAY before you’re really the player your were before so imagine how hobbled Cam is right now. It’s not good that we have 2 QBs down but it’s good that we’re not trying to force one of them to play anyway.
