ProudUte started the topic UCF podcast loves Ute football in the forum Football 1 year, 5 months ago
Look at this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJhJf3GZGo0&t=1512s
They talk about Utah at the 36:30 mark. They are very high on Utah. If you want to have a good laugh, listen to their take on BYU. One guy says, “I honestly don’t know what BYU adds to the conference.” 🙂

ProudUte replied to the topic Can we stop with AZ in the forum Football 1 year, 5 months ago
I don’t know how good or bad Arizona will be in 2024. What I do know is Fifita is a heckuva QB and he has an All-American WR. Losing their head coach “could” be huge. However, I have seen coaches come in and take the recruits from a previous coach and have great success. I don’t know how many players Arizona has lost to graduation, portal, and…[Read more]

ProudUte replied to the topic Breakdown of Utah's Schedule in the forum Football 1 year, 5 months ago
I agree with most of your post, but I am not nearly as high on UCF as you. But, you are right about their easy schedule. I don not like starting our Big 12 schedule at possibly the toughest place to play in the conference. I don’t like traveling across the country on Thanksgiving week to place UCF.

ProudUte started the topic I don't much like out 2024 football schedule in the forum Football 1 year, 5 months ago
It is not terrible, but there are a few things I don’t like.
First – We play our first Big 12 game on the road at OSU (a tough place to play against a solid team).
Second – Three of our first four conference games appear to be the toughest – OSU, Arizona, and TCU. The schedule is front-loaded. I would like to get our feet wet first before…[Read more]

My feelings exactly. The QB situation was botched.

ProudUte replied to the topic Harlan thinks that 2023 was Whitt's best in the forum Football 1 year, 5 months ago
I was thinking the same thing.
I we still had Vaki, Bishop, Jackson, Vele, etc. – a national championship “may” be in reach. As it sits now, I think we may have a good season and possibly a Big 12 championship.

ProudUte started the topic Harlan thinks that 2023 was Whitt's best in the forum Football 1 year, 5 months ago
Do you agree? I have mixed feelings. On the one hand, I get his point. On the other hand – I think the staff handled the QB situation poorly. But, I do agree that 8 wins with 30 guys missing one or more games is quite an accomplishment.
The article also discusses Utah’s transition into the Big 12.

ProudUte replied to the topic Best NFL players who played college in Utah in the forum Football 1 year, 5 months ago
You are right – I did consider Bart Oates. But, I did not realize he was a 5X pro bowler. It comes down to Jordon Gress and Baert Oates. Bolles has a chance to surpass them.
Interestinf stat on Jordaon Gross. He did not allow a sack during his junior and senior seasons at Utah. That is crazy.

I looked and could not find anything about BJ being let go.

Great names. But, I did not include Luther Elliss because Merlin Olsen is far and away the best Dlineman to come out of a Utah College. The same thing goes for Speedy Thomas. Steve Smith had a much more prolific pro career. I honestly did not think or consider Costa or Trumpy.

Two actually. Manny Fernandez and Marv Fleming. Both were very good players.

ProudUte started the topic Best NFL players who played college in Utah in the forum Football 1 year, 5 months ago
This is just for fun. I was thinking about the best NFL players by position who played college football for one of Utah’s colleges. This is just what I came up with off the top of my head. I am sure I have missed some guys.
QB – Steve Young – BYU. I don’t believe there can be an argument here.
RB – Jamal Anderson – Utah
WR – Steve Smith -…[Read more]

ProudUte started the topic Can we avoid a mass exodus when Whitt retires? in the forum Football 1 year, 5 months ago
We are seeing many players leaving the programs that had their coach leave, i.e., Oregon State, Arizona, UW, etc. Can the Utes avoid this when Whitt decides to retire? I believe the answer is yes if we handle things right.
Let me first say, that I am not suggesting that Whitt retires, but I think we all assume that he will retire within the…[Read more]

Sounds like Isaac Wilson is doing very well at the Polynesian Bowl practices in Hawaii.

ProudUte replied to the topic Whitt said some interesting things on the radio today in the forum Football 1 year, 6 months ago
He did say that the best comparison would be Yassmin. He said Ryan will be nothing like Kuithe. He made it clear that he was not comparing Ryan to Kincaid in athletic ability.

ProudUte replied to the topic OL Transfer in the forum Football 1 year, 6 months ago
Whitt sounded like he is satisfied with his offensive line (radio interview today). It sounds like they are looking for 6-10 portal guys before fall camp. Probably a couple of QBs, a few more WRs, and some defensive help. He never mentioned that they are looking for offensive linemen. However, I am sure that they are ALWAYS looking for…[Read more]

ProudUte started the topic Whitt said some interesting things on the radio today in the forum Football 1 year, 6 months ago
I was out running errands and heard Riley interview Whitt. I am sure I will forget some things, but this is what I remember.
– Rising, Kuithe, and Barton are good to go and should be 100% for spring ball.
– Whitt did say that there are some guys who will be sitting out spring ball due to injuries. However, he did not mention any names.
– They…[Read more]

I agree. McClain should have been on the list. My bad.

ProudUte replied to the topic Dorian Singer officially a Ute! in the forum Football 1 year, 6 months ago
Wow, our passing offense could be amazing if our Oline can protect Cam.
Cam will have the following guys he can pass to:
– Kuithe – All-conference caliber receiver/tight end
– Pittman – (If healthy – he could be a deep ball threat.
– Money Parks – Solic WR who knows our system.
– Singer – Had over 1000 yards receiving for Arizona in 2022.

Yeah, I forgot about the rule when your coach leaves. I doubt Bama will need many guys from UW. But, guys leaving AZ could be huge.
