Utesby1 replied to the topic Projected Depth Chart? in the forum Football 3 weeks, 6 days ago

One of the reasons you could make these projections without any “ors” is because our depth is so thin. In the past, at least ½ the positions had an or at the first string or the second string. I think we can have a respectable team this year IF we can remain injury-free at the positions where we have the least depth.

Has OnlyU disappeared? I really miss his occasional insights.

Apparently it does not work on OSX or at least on Sequoia 15.1.

Utesby1 replied to the topic Is L. Barton a half step slow, especially laterally? in the forum Football 9 months ago

Something is going on with him. Not sure if it is lack of speed, or rust, or motivation, or scheme or something else but he has not been
the player he was last year before his injury.

Utesby1 replied to the topic Calling on the god of Utah Football info in the forum Football 10 months, 2 weeks ago

Now that the two paid sites have essentially shut off all camp content, OnlyU is our OnlyEye into our favorite football team. At some point, this “wall of silence” is going to come back to bite Coach Whitt/Scalley and the paid sites in the butt.

With a good year or two we can break the stigma that surrounds wide receivers and how they are utilized at Utah. Unfortunately, the narrative that we are part of a second-tier conference will not be overcome so easily.

Sure would like to hear OnlyU’s post spring perspective.

I don’t think he had a scholarship.

For those who were unable to attend or to watch the game, I decided to take some detailed comments and share them here. Some of these comments are more opinions than actual observations.

Rose missed some easy throws. It is true that he has the most powerful arm in the QB group but he is indecisive and not as accurate as I had expected. Given…[Read more]

Utesby1 replied to the topic Utah’s D was elite, but UCLA’s unforced errors also helped in the forum Football 1 year, 8 months ago

Obviously running the ball eats up clock faster than throwing incompletions, but nothing eats clock like getting first downs that lead to a long drive down the field. Our long drive that tied the game against Baylor featured runs and passes and it chewed up 9 minutes of clock.

Utesby1 replied to the topic Texas State Came Down to Earth Today After Beating Baylor in the forum Football 1 year, 9 months ago

Wherever Texas State is ranked they must be ranked higher than we are:)
They were much better against Baylor than we were. I would assume that we fall 5-6 spots.

Utesby1 started the topic Paging OnlyU in the forum Football 1 year, 10 months ago

Well, we are 25-30% of the way through fall camp and crickets abound. Can you give us a few morsels of insight into the team? Not asking for any inside information on Cam or Kuithe but it would be most interesting to know who is standing out so far. Which newcomers are contributing already? Who is living up to our expectations and who is exceeding…[Read more]

Utesby1 started the topic Elite Camp and All-Poly Camp in the forum Football 1 year, 11 months ago

Several years some people on this board would always post detailed observations from these special camps. It was always an interesting way to get an idea of the future stars and how they compared to other outstanding players. Does anyone on the board attend these camps and if so can you provide some observations about the stand-out players?

Does anyone know if there is a site that provides live or at least frequent updates from the Elite 11 Finals? I am interested to see if Isaac can redeem himself on day 2.

OnlyU, can you share any nuggets from the scrimmage yesterday. We are all on pins and needles.

I am desperate for updates coming out of spring practice. Can you share some juicy tidbits with us?

Utesby1 replied to the topic Utes have 16 recruits ranked in the top 1000 in the forum Football 2 years, 4 months ago

If we signed 20 I am curious which four players were not in the top 1000? I always enjoy watching them to see which will become our next Weddle.

Our passing game is going to suffer without Kincaid. To make up for that we need a big game from Yassmin and possibly from Mclain. But, the real key is whether we have Vele back. Can you tell us if he is practicing or if he expect to be ready by the Rose Bowl?

Utesby1 started the topic Think about this for a second in the forum Football 2 years, 6 months ago

As dominant as our performance was against USC consider that it could have been much worse. We played without our number 1 receiver (Kuithe), our number 2 receiver (Kincaid) was severely limited, and our number 3 receiver (Vele) was effectively eliminated due to his injury. If someone had told you that we would be without Vele and that Kincaid…[Read more]

We are younger than any major DI team in the country. That means some sloppy play and ups and downs but most of all it means the tkeam will literally improve every game. When you are as young as we are we will be able to see almost constant improvement.
