Half the teams above us have a load of 3 star folks that would be happy to instead upgrade to Utah. Average rating is more useful than sum of ratings. So many of the good recruits come to us at the end. There are the occasional early recruit like Tuttle, however Utah’s class really does not come together until November and December. And yes,…[Read more]

Best parking spot is near the most convenient Trax stop. Hands down.

New QB could be an upgrade. Very good first game.

I think they have peaked. No reason they would do better than Utah or TCU. They are a very good team however.

If I understand Ludwig, we will count the guys in the box, look at how they line up and then attack the least protected part of the defense. If they want to force us to pass, it will happen.

I’m with you, no blue during football season and ignore goofy Y fans on I-15 and walking in.

This isn’t just crazy talk. UCLA will always be the cross town rival. Dotre Dame will always be a huge national matchup. Still, USC needs to consistently chase the southern division title, required for a successful season. Utah just may become the biggest obstacle in that effort. But it takes a number of years to be remembered as team that…[Read more]

Lander could be the best of the Barton clan.

The good news is that although both Rick and Larry may be hard driving coaches that can push too much, Daniels coming back may benefit Larry much like he benefited Rick.

Also, Larry and many others coaches tend to give folks a chance to grow into a spot with the understanding that if their progress is not good enough they may need to move on to…[Read more]

Maybe but not that big a deal. Not a hill to die on. The game holds more interest than almost any non-conference game recently other than Michigan. In an era where almost a quarter of college football are cupcakes, why complain? For all its hair, the game is much better than the other 2 of choice this year. To be honest, the problem with the…[Read more]

My concern is what should happen does not always happen. Against the same DL last year they opened way too many holes against us which was probably why we so often gave up contain to plug the middle. Much speculation about why but it was there. I expect different but we need to handle their OL from the beginning to be better. Our OL did not…[Read more]

As a group, the OL at the Y may be a group that is more ready to go week 1 than our group. We have unknowns that may come together to change that but they need to be answered to get there. We all know the possible reasons Utah may not have been focused last year, however given that their OL pushed us around and opened holes for average RBs for 3…[Read more]

First, would anyone be interested in the 60 best players in order from USC, San Diego State and Fresno State? Or maybe Oregon, Portland State and Boise State? Or 60 players mixing all levels of High Schools in Utah. This is a list of furniture, ceiling fans and dog food in order for loading into a truck.

A couple of starters on a very good…[Read more]

I know they caught Az. and Wisconsin last year but I don’t see them getting Tennessee and USC. They will have 2 wins when they host Liberty.

I don’t disagree but 11 wins are optimistic. The first key game is @USC, if we win we win the South. I feel we are slightly favored. Second is WSU, in SLC, probably the edge we need to beat Leach. @Washington is the last key game. Likely we are evenly matched, the location is an edge but getting them after Oregon visits and games with USC and…[Read more]

As Pac play starts for Utah you can watch who comes in for visits. Often there will be high profile guys that were not known before and some will like what they see. We would be more comfortable with early commits and sometimes that will be the case.

The good news, soon we will quit talking about ’18 and have the current year to focus on. To jump ahead, I think the Utah QBs are well set up to start the current season well. I also feel the Y QBs walk into the season with significant uphill climb. I am encouraged our injured QB has not been on a pitch count, is quite experience and will be a…[Read more]

Two will be left off the list that are better than 40 – 50 that are on the list.

Covey will run some low contact routes. It is that important to him. He will not return punts, likely not even fair catch some. Someone else needs to get some reps there.

Bam will play if the 2s come into the game with a comfortable lead. I expect they will

Moss is staying safe, only there if he is ready to go. The other RBs will not be a…[Read more]
