2008 National Champ

Sure, but Utah has also beaten that same talent level. You can’t say that Oregon, Stanford, Washington or Michigan – if you want to go back that far – don’t count even though they had lines full of blue-chips just because Utah beat them.

What else are they going to say about the guy who is most likely to start the next game? that he sucks and they have no confidence in him being able to put his shoes on the proper feet, let alone call the right play or hand the ball of to the correct person?

Bigger issue to me is that if Wilson plays Saturday, you’ve effectively burned his…[Read more]

facepalm. he was trolling Cottonwood earlier the same day

It always has been.

– Hugh McElhenny was quoted in the 1950’s that he had to take a pay cut when he went pro
– The original college football teams in the 1890’s paid their players

The notion of the “scholar-athlete” was something the NCAA came up with so they could enforce draconian rules on kids while expanding their power

He went to grad school at Utah but I don’t know if he got another degree there before he got caught at the Cottonwood Mall.

Ted Bundy? you kinda went off the rails there at the end.

Caleb Williams was making the bulk of his money off national ads like Dr. Pepper, somewhere in the 10MM range. Their collective probably didn’t need to pay him anything.

Rose probably. Huard is up in the air but it shouldn’t take a 4th year QB that long to learn the offense. At most, it’s just getting the different terminology down.

For as good as Huard’s pedigree was, he got chances his freshman year at UW and didn’t do well. And he didn’t exactly tear it up after dropping to FCS. He throws a pretty ball but…[Read more]

As Eagle said, it’s only a one game sample.

2023 Baylor: 20-13, 377 yards
2024 Baylor: 23-12, 292 yards

It’s odd. We have all acknowledged that Whitt reverts to coachspeak whenever possible and doesn’t give out any information that he doesn’t have to. And yet, some will absolutely go to the mats on anything that he says at a presser.

Wilson throwing 40 yards downfield to a double covered Parks tells me that the playbook wasn’t contracted.

There was a time when QB’s were taught to throw with their Index finger off the ball. If that is the limit of the damage, it shouldn’t affect his throwing as much as middle or ring finger would.

it was a superb throw and not an easy catch. but a big-time receiver will make sure that ball doesn’t hit the ground. I’m sure Singer was kicking himself all weekend about that drop and apologized during today’s film review.

Never? Never Ever? Never have you Ever seen a Utah WR block downfield as well as Singer?

why wait for someone to actually suggest such a thing when there are strawmen just begging to be taken down?

Is that the language? I seem to remember his last deal being that rate for all years left on his contract but I’m not remembering a specific time limit after he steps down.

We’ve seen Bernard have big games before and then get hurt the following week or go back to a reduced workload.

There isn’t anyone on here that doesn’t want Bernard to take over as RB1 and be the next great Utah back. It’s just hard to count on it at this point.

The video was exactly what @Rick Walker was referring to. I assumed you were unaware based on your response but perhaps you were being deliberately obtuse

It’s a C. Don’t focus on the score. It was a typical 2nd game of the season where some things worked, some didn’t.
Baylor is a team that is expected to struggle to get to .500 this year and the game was never in doubt so Utah did what they were expected to.

Now if we want to talk about someone from that game that should get an A+++++.,, man…[Read more]

the problem wasn’t the plays that were called for Wilson, or also Rising after the made field goal, it was the setup. the first 10-15 scripted plays all included formation shifts, motion and misdirection. After that it was just lineup and run the called play. At some point you have to try to either fool the other guy or at least make them think…[Read more]
