All Utah needs is an average offense. The defense will continue to do what they do as they always have. With an average offense and Utah’s usual defense they will be competitive. Whittingham is way too competitive to not have a bounce back year this year. Scalley will have the defense ready. Beck and Dampier want to prove they an coach and play at…[Read more]

You are correct! I heard a podcaster say that one of the adjustments for this team is that they aren’t used to playing in front of so many fans and aren’t used to having so much of the local media around during media sessions. In AZ, ASU’s hockey team got more fans in their shared 5,000 seat arena and the local media didn’t cover them as much. It…[Read more]

I love how he said he played at the “Team Down South.” That alone is encouraging that as a coach he is bought in. I am excited to see Beck’s offense and to see Whitt play as an underdog this year. I hope we are pleasantly surprised or maybe after 2024 expectations are so low that it won’t take much to be surprised next year.

Thanks for summary. I saw the headline and didn’t even want to click on it.

Defense is the least of Utah’s problems. I think the D will be fine. This sucks but it makes me wonder if there are underclassmen who have a greater upside.

Everyone who left on offense wasn’t much of a surprise. I think next year has the potential to be exciting with the additions to offense.

I think it is bad to boo college players anytime even in the NIL mercenary era. They are still young and not everyone on the team is getting a big NIL check. In the NFL every player is making far more money than the average person.

The best way to protest is to stop buying tickets and stop watching the games. Once the networks and the…[Read more]

Does anyone on the roster even matter until game day when the season kicks off on Aug 30? Even then, players quite mid season.

I can’t imagine how frustrating this is for coaches. This is the new age of college football. The best way to protest is to not watch or buy tickets.

Why the hate on hiring former Cougars? Whitt was a Cougar. That has worked our pretty well for the last 30 years. The offensive staff has had some major position changes which everyone wanted.

This is from his WSU bio page “Atuaia has a history of working with big, strong and powerful running backs.” That is what Utah traditionally does best with. Hopefully he can bring that back.

Cam was a stud when healthy and did things at Utah no other qb has done but it is best for the program to move on. The last two years were painful but the two Pac 12 Championship years were some of the best! I will always have good memories of Cam and what he did at Utah.

If you set low expectations it his hard to get dissapointed!

Those seem to reflect the results of the season.

Thanks for bringing us back down to earth. I think we will all be feeling different at the end of next season.

How do we know any of the candidates were even given an offer? Just because someone looks great on paper doesn’t mean they will be the right fit. I would imagine they approach coaches much like recruiting to make sure they are a good fit for the culture.

The offense has been frustrating at best this year and last year but at the end of the day most college football fans would have loved to have Whitt as their teams coach for the last 20 years. I am grateful for what he has done but hope he stays true to what he said about a simplified offense to keep up with the changing world of college football.

I have sometimes wondered if NIL has made players a little lazy. Since they are getting paid they don’t have the hunger to do all the little things outside of practice like mobility or flexibility work. I am old and know that is good for me and I don’t do it as often as I should.

The helmets look really cool but I am glad to know I am not the only one who thinks the interlocking U’s is a curse. It might be the old, superstitious hockey player in me but the throwbacks just don’t seem to to work this year.

When was the last time Utah won a game in the throwback uniforms?

I have never been a big fan of the throwback…[Read more]
