Why isn’t Gabe Reid in the two deep?  Is there a nagging injury?  OnlyU implied there may be a few injuries for game 1.

The four big reasons why they believe they will win are:
1-Heat and humidity
2-Large loud crowd
3-Utah’s defense didn’t look good against Ohio State
4-Their QB Richardson
If your top strengths have nothing to do with the players and coaches – I would think that you have something to worry about.  They act like no one is capable of beating the…[Read more]

Scalley talks about his 2022 safeties:
“Cole Bishop can play in the box and can play back. Clayton Isbell provides some physicality in the box and some length and range up top. We have versatility and we’re going to use it.”

In 1975 – I bought season tickets to Utah football for the first time.  The next two seasons we were 1-10.  This morning – two of the GameDay hosts picked Utah to be in the CFP.  I’m not predicting that we end up in the CFP.  However, to be mentioned as a possibility and to be ranked 7th in the nation is something I never dreamed of in 1975.  We…[Read more]

Have we heard anything about our opening game uniforms?  With the heat, I would go with the all-white unis like the Rose Bowl.
 

I hope these guys can pile on the sacks in 2022.
Defensive Ends

I am not sure if that helps or hurts us. 
Also, a high possibility of thunderstorms may lead to game delays.

Nice article.
Pick Six

Says he will miss camp and the comradery with his teammates.
He participated in the scrimmage and was glad to get the reps.
KW is less hardnosed than he was when he first arrived.
Vele came out of nowhere a few years ago and now he is one of the team’s best players.  He’s excited to see what Vele can do this year.
He loves the offensive they…[Read more]

Scott Mitchell suggested on his radio show that Rising may throw for 3500 yards this season.  What do you think?
IMO he will be lucky to throw for 3000 yards.  Alex Smith and Brian Johnson did not throw for 3000 yards.  Huntley did throw for just over 3000 yards in 14 games.  Whit has had one QB throw for just over 3000 yards.  Why should we…[Read more]

Josh Pate on the show Late Kick predicts that the Utes will be playing Ohio State in the Fiesta Bowl.  Everyone likes to pick a dark horse and Utah is the dark horse.  Nonetheless, the publicity is nice.  Now, let’s take care of business in the swamp!
Utes in final four

For those of you going to the football game in Gainsville, I looked into parking and I heard that a good place to park is at Norman Field at SW 8th Avenue.  It appears to be just less than a mile walk to the stadium.
I also found this for shuttles to the game:
Oaks Mall in the former Toy’s R Us parking area.
Celebration Pointe behind Regal…[Read more]

Nice article about our linebackers.  We may be a bit inexperienced.  However, I believe the future of our linebackers is very promising.
LB Room

More than ever – he wants to keep things secret.  In college football –  is releasing a depth chart required?
OnlyU’s post below implied that there may be some injuries.  But, I guess we won’t know until September 3rd.

This is simply my perception.
They seem to be confident, but not cocky.  Everyone mentions that there is a lot of work to be done.  I think this is exactly where you would want our team to be.  I want them to be confident in their abilities and feel like they can go down to the swamp and win.  Yet, I hope they take nothing for granted.
I think…[Read more]

My favorite quote from him:
“But for me, I just knew this was the place I wanted to be in win, lose or draw. I mean, I’m here now, I’m a die-hard Ute and I’m gonna keep it that way.”
Glover
 

Not that it matters what I think – but I like the choices.
2022 Captains
Go Utes!!!

Practicing inside with heat up and simulated humidity to prepare for Florida.  He knows the humidity will be a factor for the team, but he is not worried about it.
Ludwig told the offense after the scrimmage that they are doing well but are not where they need to be for the opening game.

Preparing for Florida
I like this clip about our offense from Micah Bernard:
Running back Micah Bernard described the scrimmage as “amazing. The offense, you’re going to be happy to see what we do down in Florida. … We’re more explosive. It’s crazy to say because last year we were very explosive. In the scrimmage, we showed who we are. That’s…[Read more]

Happy with progression of team.  The full playbook has been installed.  He feels like they are ahead of schedule compared to previous years.
Oline looked good in the scrimmage.
Money Parks looks good.  Has been learning from the vets.
Diabate is strong and quick.  Kuithe thinks he will be great player.
Paul Maile has stepped up.
Thomas Yasmin…[Read more]
