I look forward to these interviews every week…so insightful! My 2 big take aways from today’s convo:
1) Gabe Reid should be making his decision within the next 2 weeks. Utah is still high on his list and Brit’s best comparison to GR is Maxs Tupai. He said GR’s biggest thing (like most any other player) is just wanting to go where he feels the…[Read more]

Have we finally cracked the code on our offensive identity going forward? Ever since Whitt got Ludwig to return to Utah we’ve had great offensive teams IMO. However, this past season it seems that the 3 tight end sets Ludwig was able to scheme around have opened up something very exciting and new for Utah football going forward. And seeing that we…[Read more]

I realize this has already been posted before (and THANK YOU to whoever it was that posted the link earlier) but I just want to spread the word that if you’re not a Crimson Club member or if you don’t have a connection to a Crimson Club member who can get you tickets…your best bet is to buy tickets off of the Ohio State website. Here’s the link…[Read more]

I love this year’s team!
 
Utah Football Postgame Press Conference

Wow, Mel Tucker sure made a great move for himself leaving Colorado for MSU. With big openings such as LSU coming available, naming Tucker as their primary target, MSU is digging deep to keep him…to the tune of a $95M or $9.5M/year over 10 years.
Hopefully the PAC’s new TV contract will close a large portion of the gap between us and the…[Read more]

I’ve been under the impression that Mark Harlan has been an outstanding AD hire. He exceeded expectations with fundraising that not only accelerated the SEZ project but also lessened the amount that the Athletics Department would have to payback by approximately $10M. He moved on Larry K. a year earlier than most were expecting and seemed to make…[Read more]

I think we’ve all heard so many times from media sources and others that the PAC 12 is the weakest of the P5 conferences. Although this might be the narrative they want everyone to believe, fortunately, this is not determined by the media. The CFP Committee is the only voice that counts. And isn’t it interesting to see how the CFP Committee views…[Read more]

A lot of talk prior to the game of wanting our fans to come out and be loud tonight…the crowd definitely did its part and played a factor tonight!
Covey said in his post game interview that it was the funnest game he’s every played in at RES because of the crowd. It looked electric watching on TV but for those of you that were at the game,…[Read more]

I’m still in shock with how we came out and dominated that 2nd half after being dead and buried in the 1st half. It was like watching 2 completely different teams play tonight. We unbeatable both on offense and defense in the 2nd half….AMAZING!!!
For Cam Rising to come out in the 2nd half and play the way he did after throwing 2 INTs in the 1st…[Read more]

Covey Interview

Did Moala get hurt last night? I saw him get up slowly and get taken out of the game…not sure if he returned after that?

Ken Garff Performance Zone has officially been changed to the Ken Garff Red Zone. I’m sure many/most are like who cares? But when I saw the release on twitter I was like duh, why didn’t they name it that in the first place…total no-brainer IMO. The Performance Zone never made sense to me. Here’s the latest update on the project…Go…[Read more]

Given Whit’s track record for rarely giving out praise unless it’s warranted, leads me to believe Brewer is the real deal. I don’t ever remember Whit talking this way about Rising last year or even Huntely until Tyler’s 3rd year. So I’ll be the first to admit I was wrong if CB leads us to an exciting and “special” year in ’21. I guess if Joe…[Read more]

I really didn’t know anything about Craig Smith prior to his hiring. But I’ve been trying to get caught up reading up on him and watching recent Utah State games. I have to say, this hire looks very encouraging to me. Like most people, I was really pulling for Alex Jensen to take the job but maybe this will end up being a better situation for Utah…[Read more]

Just taking a look to see what young talent might be out there that can both recruit and develop talent:
Adam Breneman, Graduate Assistant, Arizona State (25): A former top 50 recruit and an All-American tight end for UMass, Breneman has quickly transitioned to the coaching ranks following his playing career. Breneman joined Arizona State’s staff…[Read more]

There’s been a lot of talk about how we aren’t passing the ball enough. Just wanted to dig into our team stats to see the actual numbers. 
2017 (Taylor): 953 total plays; 526 Rushing attempts to 427 Passing attempts; 55% Run vs 45% Pass
2018 (Taylor): 971 total plays; 563 Rushing attempts to 408 Passing attempts; 58% Run vs 42% Pass
2019…[Read more]

So with Veltray Jefferson asking out of his NLI, what does that mean for our scholarship count? Do we have another spot available for someone in the portal to go after? Was this already accounted for since we’ve known Jefferson was not coming for a few weeks now?
