  • ProudUte replied to the topic Season Outlook in the forum Football 17 hours, 44 minutes ago

    I have no clue how many games we will win. I honestly do not know how good we will be. Many talking heads are optimistic about our offense. We do have a great Oline as long as we stay healthy. Will this offense average 30+ points a game? I have no idea. Will our corners be able to cover the top wide receivers in the league?

    Also, I really…[Read more]

    I love our Def Tacckle coach. He remains one of my all-time favorite players because of his amazing work-ethic. If these freshmen follow Luther’s example, they will be fine.

  • KSL Article

    Do you believe him? It has to be a bit of an exaggeration. But, the Oline seems to be performing as expected.

    The KSL article by Josh Newman covers a number of other interesting topics.

    This is a total joke. Whitt is becoming paranoid. Just get the team prepared to play hard-nosed football as you have done in the past. Forget all this other nonsense.

    The media is tearing him apart. It makes our program look foolish.

  • ProudUte replied to the topic OnlyU – what think you? in the forum Football 3 days ago

    Thanks, OnlyU. I really appreciate your detailed response. It helps me get a feel for what this team can do. I hope they live up to the potential.

    Go Utes!!!

  • I was thinking the same as baller.

  • I know that you had high expectations, like most of us, last year. Of course, things went south for a myriad of reasons. Nonetheless, I still trust your thoughts on the Utes football program.

    What are your feelings about the offense, defense, position groups, etc. I value your opinion as much as anyone when it comes to Utah football.

    Go Utes!!!

  • DNews article about our CBs/ I hope Cotton proves to be a solid CB for us.

    Blake Cotton

  • I heard that the race for RB1 is close. Rodgers is looking good.

    I am pleased with this news, because like many of you, I have been concerned about our RB depth.

  • ProudUte started the topic "Existential crisis" in the forum Misc 1 week, 5 days ago

    This is one phrase that I hate even more than “It’s a game-time decision.” And that says a lot.

    Political leaders on both sides and the media love to use this phrase. It is their way of making the topic sound important and dire. These two words are so misused in today’s America.

    However, I guess that our 2024 football season was an…[Read more]

  • I hope he gets a spot somewhere, too. I just doubt it will be with the Browns. They have like 6 QBs on the roster. They needed him during camp while some minor injuries heal.

  • I hope this kid gets some playing time.

  • ProudUte replied to the topic receiver article in the forum Football 2 weeks ago

    Quote from Whitt:

    “Smith Snowden is looking good on offense,” Whittingham said. “That’s been a good addition for us. And Lander Barton’s doing some good things on offense, so we’ve got a lot of options right now.”

    I know some on here do not like guys coming over from the defense. I like it if done sparingly and in the right situations.

  • ProudUte replied to the topic Looking at UCLA in the forum Football 2 weeks, 1 day ago

    I’m unsure what to expect since there are so many unknowns for both teams. I do not have high expectations at this point, but I do have high hopes.

    1. I hope our very experienced and talented Oline helps our offense be very productive.
    2. I am excited to see what our new QB and RB can do.
    3. Has Scalley and the Dline coaches developed some new…[Read more]

  • Being creative would be using Johnson as a decoy. I do not want to be predictable. I agree with you on that. However, using Johnson does not make us predictable IMO. Look at Vele in 2023. Look at what Weddle did for us. The ball does NOT and should not go to Johnson just because he is on the field.

  • He is an amazing athlete. We need to figure out ways to use him to make our offense more productive.

    Many years ago, when Mac was the head coach and Lusk was in the backfield, we played a game that we lost, and Lusk had less than 10 touches. Mac said in the postgame interview that we need to get him the ball. We did and had great success.

    I…[Read more]

  • ProudUte replied to the topic Kyle – Respect in the forum Football 2 weeks, 2 days ago

    I understand what you are saying. To me – it seems that the fire does not burn inside KW as it once did. I could be wrong. I hate how Kyle handled the QB issues the last few years. I think he failed in 1. Getting a solid backup ready to play and 2. The weekly drama was handled very poorly IMO. 3. As the coach, he should not have let the locker…[Read more]

  • ProudUte replied to the topic Kyle – Respect in the forum Football 2 weeks, 3 days ago

    It has indeed been a great ride. I love what KW has done for Utah football. In fact, no one has done more for Utah football than Whitt. However, there comes a time when you need to move on and hand things over to the new guy. In this case, he will be handing it over to the guy he mentored and taught.

    I hope that this is KW’s last season. I…[Read more]

  • I understand from a good source that Utah was going to be his choice until the late push by Tennessee in the last 48 hours. They were on the phone with him for hours the night before he announced his decision. They told him he could play both ways, and because he would be in the SEC he would get tons of attention.

    I don’t think it was because…[Read more]

  • I was not trying to argue with your initial post. As I said, Rising (more than any Ute) brings out the best and the worst of Ute Fans’ emotions.

    I hate what has happened the last two seasons. But, I will try to remember Cam for what he did in the previous two seasons.
