Utah brand of football

[Yergensen]

Came across this and had to share. This outsider gets us and sums up this football team and the Utah brand as well as anything I’ve seen.  Must read, at least through sections 1 & 2:

Thanks. Excellent article.

“garish display of badassery” seems like a solid team motto.

That was a fun read!

This guy is earning a follow from me. Favorite line:

Before I leave the Pac-12 championship, let me also just say, listening to a game full of Brock Huard is like extending a mandatory 20-minute Teams meeting by 3 hours. But I do it for you.

Referring to Urban Meyer as a “bar skank enthusiast” was also rich.

Peak journalisiming.

Thanks for sharing. Love this paragraph:

Utah is the two-time Pac-12 champion because they engage in football not track & field like the rest of their candyass conference. They did the exact same thing to USC in coming back to beat them 43-42 in Salt Lake City earlier this year. This game was just more emphatic, like a mob goon beating down a rival member before mumbling with the last punch: “Tell Carmine I said hello.”

I knew this would be your favorite line.

Fantastic article. I think the author is off on one point though: Utah is MUCH more athletic that they think. We have DUDES now as well! Athleticism isn’t an issue for our Utes. In fact, I think Kyle and Co. have done an AMAZING job of finding athletes and turning them into FOOTBALL PLAYERS. We are banged up enough that we likely didn’t look as athletic as we really are, but watching JJ, Micah, Kincaid, Yassmin, Parks, Dixon, et al. run through the ‘athletic USC D’ I am not sure how you don’t see athletes. And then we get to our D. That pick, dear lord was it athletic and pretty. Our D-line and backers have grown up and come together. Our secondary is incredibly athletic. I HOPE PSU thinks all we are is ‘smash mouth’. This team is so much more than that. A lot of these players will be in the NFL and contributing over the next few years.

His comments on Huard is dead on.  Brock sucks and not in the good way!
