Ghost of the HEB

We would talk a bunch of shit about how we’re gonna run the conference and then we’d lose a home night game to SDSU

Good chance we’ll see Glover on Saturday

That’s why chunk plays are so important. We had an insane time of possession advantage against OSU, yet still had to sweat it out at the end. Long, methodical drives are great for ball control and running out a clock, but it’s difficult to go that many plays in a row without a drive-killing mistake — especially when you have a true freshman at the helm.

Key matchup will be our D vs their O. Their QB (who tore us up last year) grew up going to Utah games (two uncles played for Utah). Utah never offered him, so there’s likely some “this is personal” type approach to playing Utah. They have a big WR who averages 20yds/catch and is projected to be 1st rd draft pick. Their RB1 averages 6.1/carry and…[Read more]

Here are his career stats:

2021: 14/20 70%
2022: 11/13 85%
2023: 15/18 83%
2024: 7/10 70%
Need him to go on a string of makes to get back into the realm he kicking in 22 and 23.

“Best arm in the QB room”

The total has also moved back up to 54 this morning (it dropped a couple points when the spread swung to OK St).

His exact words on the subject:

How’s the hand feeling?
“Feeling a lot better, definitely way better than last week. Just gotta stay on top of treatment and everything. We’re trending in the right direction”.

Do you expect to play against Ok St?
“That is my plan at the moment, yes sir”

This isn’t a comment on Cam, but sports books absolutely move the lines due to intel. If bettors found out Cam wasn’t playing and Vegas left the line at Utah -2.5, people would take out mortgages and (rightfully so) bet on OSU +2.5, which would then very likely lead to Vegas losing a lot of money on this game. So, they are very good at staying…[Read more]

I don’t connect with this romanticized nostalgia some of yall have with the Pac-12

Silver lining – As we’ve seen here, day games with notable heat will take some energy out of the crowd.

The narrative that we completely shut down the passing game when Isaac came in is false. The passing game shut down because it was ineffective and there were some poor throws that made the coaches pull the plug. For instance, on the drive following Baylor’s TD that made it 23-12, a Bernard run set up 2nd & 5 with 13min left in the 4th. We…[Read more]

His performance against IMG Academy a few weeks back raised a lot of eyebrows. SC rolled out the red carpet and I’m sure dangled potential $ in front of him. That, combined with signature Utah lackluster WR production, is tough to overcome for a guy like this.

Seeing as how Cam missed all of 23 and hasn’t finished a half yet in 24, as ProudUte said we need to get him more reps and in-game chemistry with the pass catchers before Stillwater. Also, the Cam-less offense only managed 14 on SUU and got shut out by Baylor. Let’s not play 2023 Utah and put this game entirely on the defense and have to sweat all game.

Absolutely. Pac-12 was leading the way in revenue in the early 2010s.

Gotta love the constant reminders that we are no longer on the Cool Kids’ lunch table.
