I wouldn’t call what Pelle did last year consistent. Look at his game logs. Also, the guy averaged nearly 3 TO a game for us last year. That isn’t what I would call taking care of the ball. It’s not necessarily terrible for a freshman who handled the ball a lot, but it’s not good either.

For sure. I think pease is the best position coach we’ve ever had.

I think our team culture will make it easier than usual for a position coach to succeed at both DL and RB. What we need is expert recruiters.

I know I really shouldn’t, especially since I’m a devoted member of their faith… but I think that’s why stuff like this drives me so bananas. Born and raised in Provo, been around the hypocrisy my entire life. It’s what caused me to sour on BYU as a child.

He’s been playing Varsity ball since he was a freshman… At his size that is incredible.

Mataele was the worst non K/P starter on the team IMO. He gets beat consistently, is often in the wrong place, doesn’t have good tackling form, gets called for penalties often, and isn’t a great athlete. He needs to improve big time, or we need to find a replacement for him. To me, it just seems like he doesn’t have what it takes upstairs to get…[Read more]

College bb is pretty awful.

Lots of thumbs down but nobody seems to actually have a different answer I see.

Lebron not going to college is irrelevant. I said the next Lebron (as in the next sure thing NBA star).

It’s interesting to me that the narrative all season was the pac12 I’d bad, and Iregon is benefiting from that. We then steamroll Oregon twice and that narrative continued.

Then we play OSU and it seems as if our reputation is now better than it would have been had we destroyed Ohio state. Our prestige increased big time when everyone saw us nea…[Read more]

It really depends on what he is able to do in recruiting, and so far (and this may not be fair) it is not looking good. He did an admirable job of putting together any team at all this year. I’ll give him that. Since then, he lost a recruiting battle to BYU for a player that was born and raised a Ute. He would have been our highest rated recruit…[Read more]

It’s getting worse because we are playing tougher competition and more meaningful games… Not necessarily because the team is getting worse.

We don’t have the horses to play offense effectively in this league.

Do we have any momentum with any recruits at all? When do basketball recruits normally start committing? I have heard ZERO buzz regarding recruiting since Smith lost Chandler (who would have been our highest rated recruit ever, and was a life long Ute fan) to BYU.

Smith either needs to get extremely lucky with a couple of no-name guys like our…[Read more]

If Broughton is in there I think we may have won… but many of those passes from Stroud were just so perfect it wouldn’t have mattered who was defending.

The point is, even with a depleted secondary all we needed to win that game was a decent punt. They would have ran out of time and we would have at the very least made it to OT.

ugh… you are correct… well, I’m going to assume you are anyway, I don’t want to watch that replay again to find out. Either way, it was terrible, and had the punt been at least moderately successful, and everything else went exactly the same way, we win the game. Like I said before, oh well.

I don’t think disagree means what you think it means. What exactly are you disagreeing with? Nobody said that more things went OSU’s way than Utah’s. Disagreeing implies that your opinion is different than the one with which you disagree. You haven’t stated anything contrary to anyone’s opinion in this thread.

Wasn’t their defense terrible this last year? He had 89 tackles, 2.5 tfls… that’s pretty strange isn’t it? Still good to have him, and may do better with us… just something to think about.

Redding is decent. Not great, but average. The entire punt team needs fixing desperately
