They were beat up going into tonight and we were beat up more tonight. Daniels did not look good. I can’t see him playing next week.   
But, we can’t look passed an improving UCLA team.  They are looking better every week and they have their starting QB back. 

They have run 18 plays and have lost yards on 9 of them.  If they don’t get this figured out soon, they are going to lose this game. 

the disruption it may cause in the locker room.  We are playing possibly our biggest game since joing the PAC12 this Saturday.  The team needs total focus.  Something like this has to be at least somewhat disruptive.  I hate the timing of this.
Go Utes!!!
 

Tuttle has left the program for whatever reason.  Life goes on.  This kind of thing happens all the time and will happen even more with the new NCAA rules.  Good luck to Jack.  I hope he succeeds.
Let’s leave the kid alone.  He is a young man trying to figure out his future.
Best wishes to Jack Tuttle.
Go Utes!!!
 

That many of us thought the sky was falling a few weeks ago and now all is wonderful.
I think all fans had a right to be upset when we had only won 3 of our last 13 conference games.  Now we have won 5 of our last 15.  Still not impressive IMO.
I have been very pleased with our performance the last two weeks.  None of that makes up for the first…[Read more]

It will just serve to make the players more hungry.
The polls are a joke when Wisconsin is still ranked.  Michigan sky rockets because they beat Wisconsin.  Big Ten conference love.  Wisconsin just isn’t very good.  They have an easy schedule ecxept PSU.  So they will likely end up 9-3 and ranked close to the top 10.  Michigan State has lost to…[Read more]

I saw a post (can’t verify) that ESPN will now be picking up our game at 5:00.  Has anyone else heard anything?
 

Do they not realize that this is the same Hawaii defense that gave up 40 points to a winless San Jose team.

I think it was the right time to make Wilson the starter.  They needed a spark and he did give it to them. This was the right team to make him the starter to gain some confidence.  But, when he plays a tough defense, it will likely be a…[Read more]

I knew they had a potent offense.  But, I thought their defense was suspect.  Not today.  They played tough.
We will have to be at our best to beat them in 4 weeks.
If both teams win out (that’s a lot of ifs), Salt Lake may be a game-day candidate.
Go Utes!!!
 

On Game-Day this morning they showed hightlights of the Utes win.  They talked about Covey’s pass to Huntley.  They called him Coe-vy.  He is a great player and deserves to have his name pronouced correctly on Game-Day.
Bytheway, I noticed that Covey threw that perfect pass with a glove on his throwing hand.  He coaught Huntley in…[Read more]

We played a near perfect game on both sides of the ball.  Nothing to complain about the first 34 minutes.  Very nice win.
That being said, we played a sloppy second half; too many big penalties, threw a PI, dropped a possible pick 6.  I hope that sloppiness is out of our system and we come out and blow USC away. 
Great game…[Read more]

Worried may be too strong, but I see reasons to be nervous.
1. Everyone talks about how bad Arizona’s defense is.  In three PAC12 games they are giving up an average of just 17 points a game.  Scoring is what it’s all about and they are keeping the opponents out of the endzone.
2. Tate has yet to show anything this season.  But, everyone knows…[Read more]

Let me preface this by saying I hope Utah wins big tomorrow and we do win the rest of our games.
We have played 5 games this season.  Throw out Weber because it is meaningless for numerous reasons.  Many are looking at the way we played against Stanford (excellent) and suppose that is the way we will play the rest of the season.  What about the…[Read more]

It was posted below that Some computers predict we win the rest of our games. That would be fantastic and make us 10-2.  Does anyone really expect that?  I do not.
i do not believe there is a single game we cannot win. I believe Oregon will be the toughest game because of their passing game. Unlike WSU, they can run as well. 
On the other hand -…[Read more]

However, am I wrong to still be skeptical about the rest of the season?  I do believe the offense is starting to gain some confidence.  But, we rarely have played consistent in past years even when we have played well in previous weeks. 
IMO, we need to have a killer instinct next week when we host Arizona. We need to take it to these guys early…[Read more]

So, I have to credit to these guys. This is what I expected to see from this team. 
Good running game
Line controlled the line of scrimmage
Passing effectively when needed
Defense created key turnovers
We stuffed the running game
Special team delivered
Too bad that it took us to the 5th game to get it done.  Hopefully, we can continue it…[Read more]

Go Utes

or would be a 14 year veteran if Mac would have remained his coach?
I am not sure if Alex would have even made an NFL team.  Mac put players in every position in the NFL except QBs and kickers.  He did not develop QBs.
I think the same is happening now.  Huntley, Shelley and Tuttle were all highly recruited players.  Whitt like Mac has not put a…[Read more]
