Will he has TDs as a FB and as a TE, so he can run and catch. I think Utah is looking for a TE that can do that and block well. Maybe the balanced guy is not noted as high as the guy that is great at receiving. With the success Utah has had with TEs this year I would expect that Utah is a great destination for another TE. I also think Yassmin…[Read more]

Oddly, a healthy running game is exactly what the Bills need. If they could figure out how to integrate a run game into their offense, a small miracle, he could help them.

Most schools play 2 CBs Utah mostly plays 3, 50% more playing time for CBs.
Utah mostly plays man coverage, better prep for the NFL.
Utah DB coaching is very good
Utah’s program is very stable
OSU is very deep and has many 2s that could start elsewhere. If you are a CB leaving because there are 4* 2s, Utah is about as good a place to go as can be found.

Gabe needs to determine what his chances are if he joins maybe the strongest LBer room in the conference. As for us I think our needs are WR and DB. I would love to see a game ready WR come in thru the portal. Currently, I would also think Utah would be a top 5 destination for a TE.

The gray navy ship helmets were much to good to be used only once.

I noticed when we entered the Pac most all teams were very welcoming. The exceptions I noticed was Washington was the one that was least welcoming and pushed the little brother thing. ASU was just ASU and treated us like they do everyone. Colo was the FNG along with us so there was natural competition to blend in. All the Cali schools have to…[Read more]

He has the skills to be a return specialist in the NFL, next he will test his durability to determine how long he is in the NFL. When all of that is done, he wants to get involved in coaching. I expect he will return to Utah as a GA looking/waiting for an opening on the staff. I believe he will become an awesome coach.

I have had lots of interactions with other fans at RES, visited most MWC and Pac venues, attended most bowl games, both football and basketball. With one exception 95+% of all other fans are very friendly if we are, which is not at all worse than how our fans treat others. The exception is Y fans. Their athletes act like every penalty or foul…[Read more]

Cole also had an offer from Stanford so I can only guess he didn’t feel the education from the U was very far off from Duke and Stanford. Others viewed him as a LBer we were happy to play him at safety. He has taken advantage of openings that have come up in the safety room. I am hoping he is with us long enough to pair him with Ritchie and…[Read more]

Is this step different than asking for the NFL evaluation? I was assuming several will go thru the process of evaluation then make a decision. Is there a date to then forgo the NFL draft? Could there also be NIL situations that would pay key players significantly to stay another year allowing athletes to provide for family? I would also expect…[Read more]

Would you have been concerned at the end of September if you knew between Utah and ASU, one QB would be first team all Pac and the other would not even be honorable mention?

Awesome, thank you for drum and feather…

May be a good hire only time will tell. I would have expected UW to pull in a big name but there are too many big school openings that make that difficult. Did Sitake need the extra staff to help he take phone calls?

We should not go to 8, rather the rest of the P5 should go to 9. My problem is the annual inventory of games is so few I hate to create move low interest games. The argument for 8 is more wins because low risk games are added. I would go for 8 if all P5 teams play 2 non-conference P5 games. The problem currently is the SEC has 4 non-conference…[Read more]

The Utes always pick after USC. Currently, too many of the top west coast recruits are going back east before USC picks, leaving Utah down the line. Hopefully, USC can keep more of the top recruits giving Utah a chance to move up behind USC. USC’s improvement can pull Utah with them.

I remember Kalani went to OSU before he went to the Y. I thought Scalley brought the defense up a couple of notches when he became DC.

I think it was ‘Let’s go Martians’.

Of course I want Utah to do as well as possible in the Pac. To do that I am not hoping that the other schools fall on hard times. Instead, I hope all Pac teams improve. Our last team should always be in the top 50. I want to see multiple matches between top 10 teams in the Pac each year.
