not serious? so we should expect him to get QB1 reps but not be cleared to play on a week to week basis?

I kid

contract the playbook, run what he is comfortable with and depend on the other 10 guys on the field. the last thing you want to do is overwhelm the kid by expecting him to have a 7th year QB’s knowledge of the playbook.

We’re now comparing Wilson to Caleb Williams?

Williams freshman year he got some garbage time reps game 2 against FCS. Threw one pass game 5, then took over when Rattler was ineffective game 6 against Texas. The fact that Williams succeeded when so many else would have failed in the same situation is why he was the top rated QB in his class and…[Read more]

He’s under a ton of pressure and it has nothing to do with the pass rush.

I’d rather be playing at Utah State instead of the projected QB3 or QB4 at Utah. Because I would have been of the mindset that I had proven that I could play at a P4 level. But that’s just me trying to put myself in his shoes.

Fan talk to the contrary, these kids want to play. And Barnes had played, and won games for Utah. Why would he want…[Read more]

Let’s be fair. Trevor Lawrence was the most prepared HS QB this century and he wasn’t ready to be the starter day 1. Utah played a 5 star for UCLA last year that also proved he wasn’t ready. The expectation that Wilson – who was around the 15th highest rated in last year’s class – would be is more pressure than should be placed on the kid’s…[Read more]

why? he’d started for this program, passed up higher rated recruits, and still wasn’t elevated to scholarship status until they pretty much had to. at some point you have to realize that no matter what you do, it won’t be good enough. might as well try somewhere else and see if you can be appreciated.

If this wasn’t so predictable, it would be disheartening. Who needs a running game that can move the clock when you’ve got the GOAT, the man who walks on water at the helm and even better, the latest 4 star recruit who will be immediately ready to play at championship level just like Tuttle, Costelli, Jackson, Johnson.,,

No one believed that.,, let me rephrase, no one who wasn’t inclined to believe that everything that went wrong for Utah in 2023 would magically go right for Utah in 2024 believed that Rising was a lock to make it through the season healthy.

And Baylor scores again on a gassed defense because the Utah offense can’t be counted on to take more that…[Read more]

Rose is only QB3 because Huard didn’t show up until fall camp and doesn’t know the offense. Wilson passing up Rose is more of an indictment of Rose than about Wilson’s prowess.

We heard a lot of excuses last year about Rose not being in command of the offense but the truth was that as bad as Barnes and Johnson were, Rose wasn’t any…[Read more]

yeah, yeah.,, I know better than to go with excessive hyperbole on here. Some people think anything they read is meant to be serious

no doubt. The D has this game won. Just need Wilson to not let Baylor back in it. As for next week, this D should still be enough. Then you hope that Rising can be back for conference play

that can’t be true. I’ve been told all week that Wilson just needs Rising to get out of his way so that he can win the Heisman. I mean, there are some who have even claimed that him throwing picks last week was a good thing

got tossed into the coolers on the Baylor sideline. I actually thought he might have taken on to the ribs but it sounds like he might have landed on his hand

of course he threw a horrible pick 12 seconds after I posted. Now you have to wonder if the transitive property of college football means that the MAC > Big-12 because Bowling Green played Penn State tight on the road while West Virginia looked bad at home against them.
