ProudUte replied to the topic Camp Kyle: Day 1 interviews in the forum Football 11 months, 2 weeks ago

Thanks, MD, for posting this. I am headed out golfing in a few, so no time to listen to the interviews right now.

That is a lot of Kool-aid for me to drink this morning. It all sounds very exciting. If the Oline is as good as OnlyU and Harding are projecting – we should have an amazing season.

ProudUte replied to the topic Just For Funsies… Cam for Heisman? in the forum Football 11 months, 2 weeks ago

I highly doubt that Cam will be in the Heisman race. However, I would have said the same about Smith in 2024.

The only way Cam is in the race is if we pass at least 55% of the time. He would need a 70% + completion rate and at least 3500 yards. Also, the team would need to be in the top ten and probably win the conference championship.

Is all…[Read more]

ProudUte replied to the topic 3* DT Semi Taulanga from Meter Dei committed to Utah in the forum Football 11 months, 3 weeks ago

BYU was confident they were going to get this kid.

ProudUte replied to the topic Golf Cart Convo w/Logan Fano in the forum Football 11 months, 3 weeks ago

I’m glad he is good to go. We should have an excellent pass rush this season.

ProudUte replied to the topic Breakout players in 2024? in the forum Football 11 months, 3 weeks ago

OnlyU, thanks as always for our insightful post. I agree with you that Bernard will be a key component of our 2024 offense.

Who do you think the two-deep at corner will be?

ProudUte started the topic Breakout players in 2024? in the forum Football 11 months, 3 weeks ago

Every year there are guys who accomplish more than most expected. Who will they be in 2024 for our Utes?

My thoughts:

– Mike Mithcell – I am hearing good things about him, and he has put on some weight since spring ball. We really need one of our running backs to step up.

– O’Toole – He has always been on the cusp. However, injuries set him…[Read more]

ProudUte replied to the topic Special teams? in the forum Football 11 months, 3 weeks ago

Smith Snowden was a good return man in high school and he is very fast. Maybe he will be in the mix.

ProudUte replied to the topic Special teams? in the forum Football 11 months, 3 weeks ago

Our punter was voted preseason all-conference. So that’s good. But, I hope we don’t have to use him so much this season.

ProudUte replied to the topic Camp opens Monday in the forum Football 11 months, 3 weeks ago

I assumed that since Wilson did not get the surgery yet, that he was planning on competing for QB2.

I have posted before, that I really like what I saw in Isaac Wilson at Corner Canyon. He is not just a dropback passer. This kid is all in when he is on the field. He was an excellent runner. I saw his team score 42 points against the top team…[Read more]

ProudUte replied to the topic Camp opens Monday in the forum Football 11 months, 3 weeks ago

I was just going to post the same thing.

There is not a lot new in the article that we haven’t already discussed at length on this board. The new practice schedule is interesting.

I am excited for the season to start.

Go Utes!!!

ProudUte replied to the topic OnlyU, what exciting news can you share with us in the forum Football 11 months, 3 weeks ago

Wow, if this is the case – we should have an amazing season!!!

Best top to bottom O-line we’ve ever had imo.

ProudUte replied to the topic OnlyU, what exciting news can you share with us in the forum Football 11 months, 3 weeks ago

I am posting here just to keep this post on the first page – in hopes that OnlyU sees it and responds.

ProudUte started the topic It's all about Cam Rising in the forum Football 11 months, 3 weeks ago

Utes and Cam Rising

The video above discusses the Big 12 and Utah being the leader of a competitive conference. These two guys say it all depends on Cam Rising. I think most of us agree with that. We can be a good team without Cam, but I doubt we have a chance of winning the conference without a healthy Cam Rising.

ProudUte started the topic OnlyU, what exciting news can you share with us in the forum Football 11 months, 4 weeks ago

Football camp starts in less than 10 days. OnlyU, is there anything new and exciting that you can share with us.

If you can’t tell – I am anxious for football season to start.

ProudUte started the topic I am a football fan first in the forum Football 11 months, 4 weeks ago

There was a time back in the day that I enjoyed college/NBA basketball and major league baseball. I have never been much of a hockey or soccer fan. I watch golf if Tony Finau is in the mix.

In the end, for me it’s college football, local high school football, some NFL (mostly former Utes). After that, I have not watched a total of 10 hours of…[Read more]

ProudUte started the topic Immediate impact freshman in the forum Football 12 months ago

We should have a number of transfers who will play big roles in our 2024 football season, i.e., Singer, Lyons, Ryan, etc.

Will any freshmen play big roles this season? Who are they?

As for me, I like:

– Garcia at offensive line
– Hunter Andrews (Could play tight end or D end)
– I love Isaac Wilson, but I hope he does not play a big role in…[Read more]

ProudUte replied to the topic Eric Weddle on Tao in the forum Football 12 months ago

I like it.

ProudUte started the topic Football question of the day in the forum Football 12 months ago

How successful will we be at rushing and sacking opposing QBs this season?

On the one hand, we lost our best pass rusher, Ellis, to the NFL. We have also lost our best tackler, Damuni to an injury. These losses will hurt.

On the other hand, O’Toole should be 100%, and Fano sounds like he should be good to go. Add to them Fillinger and a…[Read more]

ProudUte replied to the topic FOOTBALL is almost here! in the forum Football 1 year ago

I completely agree with you MD. I want to go to a Utes sport site to talk sports. This is why I moved on from Utefans about seven years ago. It became too political. I have some strong political opinions, but this is NOT the site to discuss them.

Go Utes!!!
