Damn son…you seem to be struggling tonight.

I would say one of the problems is that, while we’ve had NFL talent on our team for years, we’ve never had it at the position that matters most: QB. Until we have an elite QB, we won’t win a conference title. Name me a school that has ever won the PAC12 without a great QB.

My heart and mind never left basketball. Maybe that’s why I don’t take the football losses as hard as some others.

I think we’ll be mediocre this year. But the next two years, watch out*.

*Assuming no significant transfers out of the program

There needs to be two types of helmet-to-helmet fouls: One called targeting, one called helmet-to-helmet tackle.

The helmet-to-helmet tackle is the one where the tackler is trying to go low and make a proper tackle, but the player with the ball is in the process of falling or sliding or lowering his own head which puts his helmet at the level of…[Read more]

1. QB came back too soon. Isn’t healthy.
2. ASU defense suddenly figured it out. Excluding the garbage time TD, they’ve allowed something like 3 points in their last 6 quarters.

Yeah, for all the bitching people do about day games…

The Tempe 12: Coming soon to a trashy porn site near you!

Great analysis up above by everyone, but maybe we’re overthinking it a bit. Like almost every football game between two opponents who don’t have a great talent disparity, it will most likely come down to turnovers.

Turnover margin, and perhaps red zone efficiency, are pretty much the keys to a Utah win every week regardless of opponent.

Yeah every year I find myself getting all excited for the NBA season. I eagerly turn on the first game of the year…and after 5 minutes I put “The Godfather” or something like that on.

I guess my soul craves some basketball, so I turn on the first NBA game I can find…and figure out my soul still craves some basketball.

College hoops finally…[Read more]

Huh?

In a 2 point conversion, you have one chance to gain 3 yards (=3 yards per play).
In overtime, you have three chances to gain 10 yards (=3.33 yards per play).

And in overtime, assuming you were successful on your first three chances, you have to execute the same scenario at least one more time to actually get to the endzone!

Going for 2…[Read more]

Let’s have whoever our QB is keep this in his hand warmer pocket:

That wouldn’t be too cumbersome, would it?

Let’s take this logic a step further. If we could just get into a high school conference, we’d win national championships every year!

Sounds like your fuel filter to me. It’s clogged.

Last year we were picked 8th and finished 4th. Media is always underselling Utah and Larry.

Really looking forward to basketball season!

“We’ll now close this fast and testimony meeting by singing hymn number 383 ‘The Humpty Dance’, after which our closing prayer will be offered by St. George Ute.”

😉

Honestly I don’t think we win this game regardless if we’re healthy or not. I would say if the injured guys aren’t totally 100%, hold them out for another week.

He seems to be, yes.

Now please, don’t anybody run him off like they did with all the insiders on uf.n!

No. So much no.

One minor quibble with your post: Stanford already had the momentum before the bad snap.

Eh, fans will be fans. There’s a saying in high-level sports: “Not too high when you win, not too low when you lose.” But that only applies to athletes, not fans. We overreact…in both directions.

Bottom line is, I don’t think Utah is a very good team, honestly. And that’s not on just one player. It’s just that our schedule up until last night…[Read more]

I hate to be that guy, but unfortunately what turned the first half on its head was two horrible officiating decisions back to back. First, the chop block call which was absolutely wrong (even the Stanford homer announcers said so), and then the no-call on Gay getting run into on the missed FG (it doesn’t matter if he “sold it” or not – you can’t…[Read more]
