I’ve read most of the posts and agree with many of the things stated that need improving. I didn’t see anyone mention the lack of pressure on the QB with 4 down linemen, and more importantly allowing the QB to escape and make good gains.

This was a main reason for the loss at Florida. The defense had Florida in 3rd and long many times, and…[Read more]

Ahead of football media day and the start of Fall camp, I have been watching some of the game replays on PAC12 network, and am really appreciating what some players like Covey and Tafua brought to the team effort.
Covey has sure hands to secure the punt to start with.  He was always a threat to take it all the way.  He was tough, and could take a…[Read more]

I don’t see it discussed much, but I would think that coaches should work on Rising’s fundamentals in securing the football when he runs.  It seemed like he lost the ball a number of times last year when hit, but was lucky very few resulted in turnovers.  I’m afraid opposing teams see this on film and will concentrate on knocking the ball loose…[Read more]

Congrats to the team and coaches for a great year of entertaining football, capped off with the championship. Utah was one team that showed up big for our conference and gives it some credibility.

I am 80 years old January 9, and graduated from the U in 1965. Lifelong Ute fan (yes during the days of Bill Marcroft and Paul James). A lot of Highs…[Read more]

17.5 yards per Keep it up Britain.

I believe if the Utes bring their A game with very few mistakes (missed assignments on pass defense, punt blocking, flags for stupid fouls, etc..), they can prevail.  
The offense has been great, and we need that to continue.  The running game must be solid, and most plays designed to take advantage of their pass rushes, like screens and short…[Read more]

Nothing more dangerous than a one win team, home field, nothing to lose at this point in the season.  I Look for a lot of gambling on Arizona’s part.  Lots of blitzes.  Lots of trick plays.  Lots of going for it on fourth down.  High energy.
  If Utah coaches haven’t prepared the team to match the energy and give a great effort, the same they…[Read more]

The Utes can win if they have some good play from the kicking game and run defense.
I have some confidence in the place kicking, but the punt team blocking was really suspect last game.  On the first block the blocker completely wiffed on the player coming from the left side.  
There is something wrong with the punt blocking formation that has…[Read more]

Monday night football showing a pregame story on the music city miracle play with Dyson.
Also, replay of asu game on pac12 network at 6:00pm mountain.
enjoy!

Thinking about Thomas and how it is too bad he can’t hang onto the ball when he looks to be the best running back.  At 6-2 and 220 lbs.  he is a good looking athlete and only a Sophmore.
I don’t know if Kyle will continue using him at RB and hope he starts securing the ball better, or if he will be benched this next game.
My thought is to do a…[Read more]

I have to admit to only watching the 1st half of the game.  Its terrible, but I can’t watch them play like that, so I turn away, hoping some miracle happens.
The poor Offensive line play is just a continuation of the last several years and many have touched on this. Surprising to see poor defensive line play/pass rush but that can improve.  
The…[Read more]

Any chance Smith brings some players from Utah State?  There are a couple of good ones, that added with Carlson, Martinez, Jones, and others could make for a good start for the new coach.

This next basketball coaching hire is going to show us what Harlan brings to Utah sports.  I think he has had pretty much a free ride up till now.
I hope he can find a coach that is great at identifying talent and then actually recruiting them to Utah.  The new coach also needs to be a great developer of players once they get into the program. …[Read more]
