Since I’m a fan and allowed to look ahead, I have started making arrangements in anticipation of the P12 CCG. I’m super stoked and wanted to share my excitement with the people who get it. Go Utes!!!

Too early, but Oregon is not looking good.

Apparently Rising punted in HS. I say, good for us. Go Utes!!!

A lot was made about ASU’s penalties, but OSU had a very similar showing. In fact, outside of the rushing yards, OSU had very comparable stats to ASU. The intent here is not to cherry pick, but to note some observations:
Penalties: OSU 11 (114), ASU 13 (115)
TOP: OSU 27.35, ASU 28.43
TO margin: OSU -1, ASU +1
4th down: OSU 0/1, ASU 1/1

Not why we lost the game, but the kind of running game OSU has, these are very good stats. Maybe we should’ve worried about their passing game, too? What sucks is their QB was averaging 45% completion before this game.

GO UTES!!!!!

What are people’s thoughts on the next USC coach? It’s sort of a dilemma from Utah standpoint. If USC sucks, it improves our chances of winning the South; but if they’re good, it helps the P12. I’m seeing names like James Franklin, Luke Fickell being thrown around, and I think both have the capacity to bring back USC to national prominence, but I…[Read more]

38-24, and no, the game wasn’t as close as the score suggests.

GO UTES!!!!!

ASU is not a juggernaut, but they are a very good team this year. I’d argue they are more balanced than injury-laden Oregon at this point. They lost to TDS, but mostly because they shot themselves in the foot. Jayden Daniels is a true dual-threat, and their second-highest rusher with ~400 yards this year.

It’s clear that the team wants to channel their energy into football. They made a statement at USC. I bet it was cathartic. The players and coaches are doing their part. Will the fans reciprocate? It’s not enough that people just show up on Sat; the stadium needs to be absolutely rocking. Like 2019 USC game, or 2018 TDS 4th Q! After everything…[Read more]

1) Ball protection, 2) Ball protection, 3) Some semblance of “throw” game, 4) Better OL play, 5) Rising settling into his role, 6) D continues to play hard
