This is true, but will he really get that chance? He’ll have to do it in practice and personal training because he won’t get the opportunities in live games that he needs to improve. I’d absolutely love it if he did develop his arm though, he’d be so incredible leading this team with his arm and legs.

AlohaUte replied to the topic PEOPLE !!!!!! in the forum Football 1 year, 10 months ago

That’s crazy talk. NJ can’t throw. That’s more crucial than running for a QB.

1. Defense looked amazing. They are so, so good.

2. Our Punter is fantastic

3. Nate Johnson can’t throw and the coaches don’t trust him too. I don’t think he gets any playing time aside from the wildcat plays.

4. Feel good about our kicker generally

5. Barnes is good enough to get us through non conference

6. I thought Vele played really well…[Read more]

AlohaUte replied to the topic We can nitpick all we want buuuut… in the forum Football 1 year, 10 months ago

I think you mean QB 3 and 4. Rose likely would have started if healthy.

AlohaUte replied to the topic Nate Johnson not ready for prime time in the forum Football 1 year, 10 months ago

He can’t throw. And incredible runner, but that makes us one dimensional. Barnes was the far better QB tonight.

AlohaUte replied to the topic Covey signed to practice squad in the forum Football 1 year, 10 months ago

Good for him! Hope he can make it stick on the Eagles and earn more playing time. He’s a dynamic player. would be great if he could work his way onto the 53 man roster permanently.

Released

AlohaUte replied to the topic USC doesn't scare me in the forum Football 1 year, 10 months ago

So you conveniently are ignoring the games Utah has played against FCS schools or G5 schools (even losing to SDSU) yet still had a great season.

AlohaUte replied to the topic USC doesn't scare me in the forum Football 1 year, 10 months ago

Basing one’s assessment of a team on game one against a bad team is silly and we should all know better. USC didn’t open the playbook on O or D. They weren’t going to give anything anyway to later opponents. USC is far better than they looked yesterday and they still put up 50+ points.

Hey folks, I’ll be on DFW area for work all week. Anyone have any recommendations on where to watch?

AlohaUte started the topic Wondering if next years Baylor game will be kept as non-conference? in the forum Football 1 year, 11 months ago

I think it would make sense to keep it as such considering it is a return game and the pain it is to replace a team on the schedule.

Making BYU a conference game makes great sense though considering the rivalry. Would be easier to replace one rather than two games.

AlohaUte replied to the topic Whitt announces Barnes as starter – in the forum Football 1 year, 11 months ago

I wonder if Nate Johnson is in a JJ type situation, where is an incredible athlete but QB may not be the right position for him?

AlohaUte replied to the topic Whitt announces Barnes as starter – in the forum Football 1 year, 11 months ago

I’m willing to give it a shot. Essentially, this will be the first major game Barnes starts (I think) where he gets the prep and reps ahead of time. Hopefully that gives him confidence and an edge.

AlohaUte started the topic Future OOC scheduling in the forum Football 1 year, 11 months ago

What are your preferences for our approach to future OOC scheduling. The only thing I absolutely think Utah should do is try to ensure there is a California team on the schedule every year. Even if that means home and homes with G5 teams. Ideally we are scheduling H&H with either USC, UCLA, or SDSU. Beyond that, I’d be fine with Fresno, SJSU, Cal,…[Read more]

I, for one, am looking forward to all our games being on Fox, ESPN, and ESPN+. We have the Disney bundle so already have ESPN+.

AlohaUte replied to the topic Barnes leading the QB2 battle in the forum Football 1 year, 11 months ago

Well, that doesn’t bode well for our back QB situation.

AlohaUte replied to the topic What the h*** happened to Utah's online reputation? in the forum Pac-12 1 year, 11 months ago

For the record, Utah fans on Reddi/ are great overall. It’s the fans on Twitter that are complete trash.

AlohaUte replied to the topic Proposed Apple Deal: How much is enough? in the forum Pac-12 1 year, 11 months ago

If it’s 30m base I think the schools take it without question. I’d be shocked if it were that high though.

AlohaUte replied to the topic Apple streaming deal/rumor in the forum Pac-12 1 year, 11 months ago

Welp, as much as I love playing UW, UO, OSU, WSU, Cal and Stanford it’s time to pack up and head to the Big-12. Way worse money and way worse exposure isn’t worth it. We won’t be getting an invite from the B1G anytime soon, so there’s no sense staying on this sinking ship.
