It seems to be another option in a spot coach was concerned with. We want to play the best two of several and have 2s and 3s that are as ready as all possible.

So true. In the 70s you needed a good plan to get into a BB game. For FB students needed only to show up at game time and 2 students could enter with a camp cooler that took two seats.

A good long ball WR is of course a good get. However, the recent Dnews article about Utah defense points out a great need noting the 5 very good QBs Utah will face in the last 6 games. In that stretch we will be able to use every minute of great edge contain and QB pressure. I think we are currently very well prepared, but those last 6 games could…[Read more]

Very good, much needed news for BB fans. Now, back to work on the other scholarships to fill. Another wing player?

I get player safety, just wish they could do it without reducing the desired product which is plays to watch. Next would be shorter hot dogs to help our health without reducing costs?

Don’t know how #3 works yet. It would have to consider a long play like a 80 yard gain (time for everyone to move down the field) and time to determine if it is a first down that can take time even without bringing the chains in. I wonder why the change here? Wanting to move the game along is one thing, giving the sideline time to respond to the…[Read more]

I think Utah’s offense will be very good and do that with maybe no all conference first team selections in the end. Not because they don’t have anyone good enough, it will happen because there are so many weapons at all the spots. The offense can rotate without drop-off. No one leading in passing, receiving, or rushing but the offense will keep up…[Read more]

I was quite impressed with his interview, seems to really have it all together. I noted that he loves to go get the 50/50 ball and loves to go over the top. Seems to be a made to order get for Utah. I did not realize he and Cam went back so far. Yes, he was sure he would be ready for Florida.

I think injuries are a big part of the story. Possibly, the surgery he had he has been avoiding. If it is successful and follows the timetable expected, it is likely he can help us. If Whitt, who has more to go on, approves it, that is good enough for me.

Sanders can recruit and draw athletes in, no doubt. I suppose he can win at the lower level by bringing in some athletes that could play at a higher level. The next challenge is to win at the power level where it will be difficult to have a player advantage. Will he have the patience to try, learn, adjust, improve and grow which all takes time?…[Read more]

Yes, Kuithe is a tweener that we have always called a TE. He is a slot receiver that is bigger than most that can slide in and be helpful blocking at the end of the line, better than most SRs but less effective than most TEs. The pass catching TEs in the NFL are bigger. Note that there is not a shorter or lighter TE in Utah’s room. I would think…[Read more]

You have a good balance between open and annoying, thank you.

It is a bit more complex. If you have heard Whitt talk about flipping the field or flip a game, you know he understands well the value in the return game but he also believes everything starts with a secure ball. A turnover in the kick return is double bad, a turnover and loss of field position.

Whitt always wants what he doesn’t have and he…[Read more]

Actually, too many moving parts for me to know. Both players were on good improvement planes. Use of the TE was evolving in the Utah offense. QB play was refining that part of the play. They only played together for a year which was Kincaid’s first at Utah. Without being at practice and seeing the isolation of the single variable of the player…[Read more]

Yes, when Kuithe went down, Kincaid became the featured TE in pass patterns. When Kuithe comes back he will return to that spot. When they played together, Kuithe had the edge, however, Kincaid progressed a great deal over his two years here. I expect the TE group to not miss a beat. Kuithe will be the primary route runner, Yassmin will be the…[Read more]

It is a very thin line. Players and coaches want the yards and points to support the best possible position. Late in a game after control has been gained is tough. Do you take a break and risk the guy behind you passing your numbers. Or do you take every opportunity and risk injury when you may be tired. In Kincaid’s case at Colorado looking back,…[Read more]

It would seem most Utah first round picks do not start their last season expected to be first round. That is just not the view from back east. Kuithe has the best chance if he simply builds on his 2021 season. Rising can add to his value by being healthy at the end of the year. If he has a winning record against the other top QBs in the Pac, 4…[Read more]

BB has me anxious for some good news.

Guessing…

It is part of FB that starts in HS and before. The best 2 FB players on a team will play QB and RB unless the body type is clearly lineman. As the best move on to college there will be position changes. Peterson at TCU once talked about how he preferred HS QBs and RBs for all the skill positions and more. He could even turn them into…[Read more]
