I’m not sure how this bodes for us.

That is an upgrade for sure makes sense why they fired Graham.

I can’t decide if that’s a good or bad thing.  Sumlin’s A&M teams were largely mediocre in the SEC, and I believe the SEC is very overrated outside a few teams.

On the other hand, though, his teams always had pretty good offenses.

Yep. I don’t like playing “pass happy” offenses, a la WSU, Oregon. Give me UW and Stanford any day. But hey, something something about playing big boys. So bring it on!

We played great defense against pass happy WSU this year. It was the offense (turnovers) that did us in.

Oregon has always been more of a rushing team. 

[SalUteopia]

Fair points, Preacher and Battle.

Utah struggles with mobile qbs. Every team does but it feels like Utah does especially. I think that is why Whitt desires that style of a player. @Utah also had a great breakdown of how Huntley adds a mismatch defensively.

Wonder if Kiffin is eye balling the ASU job.  Would not be surprised at all if he ended up back in the PAC at some point.   

[SalUteopia]

From one lunatic to another. ASU deserves it.

Unless he brings Johnny Football with him I’m not very concerned.  He’s proved to be an average coach without him.
