Unfortunately, it’s a common tactic. JaQuinden had it happen every time he got leg tackled last year and Utah players do it all the time. You always give a little extra on those tackles and Wilson was already hurt when it happened.

When the GOAT also ties the program record for consecutive losses with his “most talented and deepest roster ever”, I’m not sure how you can come to a different conclusion. No matter how much you appreciate everything Whitt has done for the program.,,

I have it on good authority from Ute Hub posters that Wilson was a can’t miss recruit who would put up Heisman stats the second he stepped on the field.

you’re right.,, but boo!

no replay on TV either. definitely not a common call. maybe the Big-12 refs get a bonus if they call a flag for every rule in the book?

wow, we are just seeing his post differently. To me it looked like a recap of the last 6 games and predicting the same will happen this week.

Iowa State is #4 in the country in pass efficiency defense, giving up 153 ypg. Predicting Wilson to struggle just doesn’t feel out of the realm of possibility. And it’s certainly not shitting on the…[Read more]

I’m not sure why it’s all of a sudden a bad thing to predict Utah will lose. People were being celebrated on here for betting on the parochial school against Utah 2 weeks ago. But now it’s sacrilege to predict that a team on a 6 game losing streak will lose to 8-2 Iowa State?

What’s the reason for unbridled optimism? Do we think the offense…[Read more]

I don’t think there are any regulations that will work. My only hope is that after a few years of diminishing returns, the NIL market will stabilize. Maybe I’m naive on how much money alumni or local businessmen truly have that they are willing to burn on college kids but there’s a big difference between players getting 20k under the table in…[Read more]

given everything that’s gone on this season and Iowa State being motivated to keep in the conference race, an 11 point spread doesn’t sound unreasonable.

I think he’s trying to say that if the people who agree to follow the honor code are allowed to find loopholes, it’s not much of an honor code.

There’s a game tomorrow? Am I the only one who thought the season ended weeks ago and we’re just totaling up the damage now?

abysmal is probably the nicest way to describe any defense that allowed 37 points to an Isaac Wilson led offense this season

I agree with your premise. I want to boo Rising breaking Britain Covey’s record of longest tenured Utah player. Not sure how to vote

Just sayin’. Taggart and Christobal stopped recruiting for Oregon when they knew they had other jobs lined up. Nothing is guaranteed but getting a big time flip right before signing day doesn’t scream “I’m going to be somewhere else in a couple of weeks”

2009: Schramm promoted to OC, Alford moved from Corners to RB’s, Blake Miller hired for O Line
2011: Chow hired as OC, brought Tim Davis to coach O line after Miller left. Schramm/Arod reassigned
2012: Johnson promoted to OC. Dan Finn O Line. Hill moved to RB’s. Tuiaki hired for FB’s/TE’s
2013: Erickson brought in as co-OC. Tuiaki to D Line,…[Read more]

It’s always up for negotiation but usually a new OC will bring at least one assistant with them. Utah OC’s under Whitt being the exception because other than Taylor, and I suppose the original Ludwig, he’s just brought in caretakers.

Put another way, would you want to take a 3 year position (standard coordinator contract length) knowing that all…[Read more]

his preachy style worked just fine when he was a player. Deion seems pretty good at communicating with people and getting them on his side.

Also, he’s sure recruiting like he plans on staying at Colorado. Just picked up a 4 star QB over SC and Georgia. And we know he can get talent out of the portal

isn’t that the theme for this year’s offense? Did not Finish

There are a few traditional football powers who spent most of their history matching this description: just one or two rungs removed from a community college
