  • I understand that on a typical game week of practice, QB1 takes 80% of the reps. Well, there is nothing typical about our QB situation. Whitt tells us that Cam is practicing at full speed. So, what percentage of the reps is Cam getting in comparison to Nate and Bryson?

    I doubt anyone on here knows (except possibly OnlyU). If Cam is the guy,…[Read more]

    We had a good practice and no one got hurt today. The guys worked hard today.

    We will have to be at our best to beat UCLA.

    Takeaways from the first three games: The defense is playing well, especially the run. The offense needs to be more explosive. But, we are doing good at taking care of the football.

    If Cam would have been ready, we…[Read more]

  • Coach Harding was asked about how they would recruit SoCal going forward. His response,”I am worried about how we are going to block the UCLA guys, I don’t have time to think about anything else.”

    I got a kick out of his response.

    Eagle, your post made me laugh. Thanks!

  • ProudUte replied to the topic Level of excitement? in the forum Football 1 year, 10 months ago

    Thanks. OnlyU. This makes me feel much better.

  • I was very excited for our rematch with Florida. I was also excited to play Baylor. I was hoping we would see Cam Rising in the Weber game, so I was excited.

    Now, with all the injuries and the many unknowns – my level of enthusiasm for the rest of the season has been somewhat diminished. We have 6 ranked teams coming up and with our current…[Read more]

  • I have hopes that Nate Johnson will be our future. He certainly has athletic skills. He is very fast, but I don’t think he has developed into a great runner yet. He doesn’t break a lot of tackles, lacks total field vision, and doesn’t seem to be able to spin and fake when he is running. I think these skills can be developed. He has started…[Read more]

  • I won’t give you a thumbs down or thumbs up for simply expressing your feelings.

    I think the coaches believed that Cam and Brant would be back for the season. We had a QB rooms with top recruits. I would not have gone to the portal for a QB (that’s just me). Now, as far as the tight end position goes – I would have gone hard after Holker. I…[Read more]

  • I hope for Rising’s future, that when he returns – he looks like he did against USC last October (prior to his first injury). I would like him to get a shot in the NFL. Regardless, he is a good man and has done a ton for Utah football. I will always be happy that he came to SLC.

  • The game on Saturday was methodical. We were not as explosive as we needed to be. Nate played well for his first start and didn’t make any glaring errors.

    The defense was excellent. That has been our MO this season.

    UCLA is a very talented team and it will be a tough game. He hopes that the crowd will be very loud this weekend.

    There were…[Read more]

  • I agree with what Josh Newman wrote about the status of our football team.

    Things have been far from bad for Utah through three weeks, but I agree with this notion that they’re not completely fine either.

    Most of the trouble as I see it is the abundance of injuries, so to judge this team as currently presented is not entirely fair. On the flip…[Read more]

  • ProudUte replied to the topic Colorado at Oregon in the forum Football 1 year, 10 months ago

    Tony, I agree with you. Oregon’s offense should be able to score at will. CU has a potent offense and will score a lot IMO. I predict 51-31. I think Coach Prime’s head will be spinning as he watches the potent, fast-paced Oregon offense.

  • First off – I respect those who say we do belong in the top ten and those who say we don’t. It’s just an opinion. It doesn’t make you less of a Ute fan because you have some doubts. My two cents.

    We deserve to be there because of the team we have been the last five years and we are 3-0 this season. I think only Colorado and Utah have beaten…[Read more]

  • ProudUte replied to the topic Winning in the forum Football 1 year, 10 months ago

    Two things.

    I do not care about CU until we play them in November. Coach Prime is the King of Hype. I don’t care.

    We here are all Ute fans and have different expectations. It isn’t for me to judge.

  • Do you know when he will play?

  • Our defense is very solid and might be excellent but they have not been tested yet. I think they will be very good, but I am worried that they may be on the field too long.

    Of course, our offense could be much, much better with Cam playing. However, I have no clue when that will happen. Without Cam, Kuithe, and Bernard – we are just not that…[Read more]

  • Isaac Wilson had yet another great game last night. They beat undefeated Mountain Ridge 56-14. They scored 49 first-half points. Wilson threw for 5 TDs and ran for another. If you haven’t seen this kid play – he has a very strong arm and he is not afraid to run the ball.

    In Corner Canyon’s only loss, they scored 42 points against the national…[Read more]

  • Also, they have a return guy who has 5 returns for TDs. (Remember the last time we played Weber – they had a kickoff return for a TD.) We had better kick the ball into the endzone.

    Weber is getting paid $650,000 to play this game.

  • They are the 7th-ranked FCS team.

    They scored more points against Northern Iowa (34) than our future conference partner, Iowa State.

    They are a run-first team. They have a very good running back, Damon Bankston, who is averaging 7.5 yards per carry.

    Some of their best players from 2022 followed Jay Hill to BYU.

    Their weakness on defense…[Read more]

  • Notes from his weekly interview (nothing too exciting).

    Happy to be 2-0 as a team.

    The offense did not get things going early and missed a lot of opportunities. We did not play a clean game. He wished he could go out there and play. The game proved we are resilient and we came back and won.

    Cam was the one to tell Nate in the 4th quarter…[Read more]
