    It wasn’t really timed for damage. More like, I’m playing well, give me more money or the timing coincides with me being able to redshirt (he has a degree) and play another year somewhere else for more $.

  • QB2s shouldn’t redshirt, even if Freshman. He’s played in 12 full quarters + 2 partials (end of 2Q). Cam has played 2 full quarters and 2 partial quarters (most of 2 2Q). We need them both. Rose apparently must be slow if he can’t pick up the playbook in 2 years. Huard is new, so he gets a pass as he claims to be the best practice team qb in the nation.

  • DataUte replied to the topic Jerome Myles to USC in the forum Football 2 weeks, 3 days ago

    My point was what were his numbers at USC after what he did at Arizona?

    Plus, we have played 1/4 of the season, with our starting QB playing 1/4-1/3 of that. Wilson has played 8+ quarters, so passing has not been so hot so far.

  • DataUte replied to the topic Jerome Myles to USC in the forum Football 2 weeks, 3 days ago

    You’ll love it when he’s here in 2 years after seeing Isaac tear it up next year and being disenchanted with the USC alure and not being used well (see Dorian Singer).

  • See him in 2 years when he’s unhappy with playing time and he sees Isaac tearing it up.

  • To be honest, I feel like these are 2 really similar teams. Both led by 20-year coaches that sometimes let their hair go long.

    I don’t like OSU because they always say THE OSU. Oh, wait, this is the other one. I’ve followed Big 12 for 16 years since I was in grad school and OSU has always been solid, similar to Utah. Usually in the top third,…[Read more]

  • DataUte replied to the topic Game-time weather in the forum Football 2 weeks, 3 days ago

    I’ve lived in 100 degree heat, both humid and dry. I didn’t stay outside that long very often. It took resting through tv timeouts, quarters, halftime to raise the extra effort to keep cheering loudly. Not saying it can’t be done, but if we can get an edge and take some hope out of the hometown fans, that could help. Great stadium, great team,…[Read more]

    Forecast is for 100ºF high, which likely will be around game time. Even hotter on the field. Hope we have a strategy to keep the players cool, hydrated, and rotated (lines, WR running routes, etc.). Heat should take a little edge off the hometown crowd unless that stadium has a great water distribution system. Get a little lead and some will bail at half.

  • Tua gets $167M guaranteed for injury (but must be forced). But, if he is medically cleared to return and retires, he only gets the $43M he has already been paid unless there is some other settlement.

    He needs to get Cam’s knee doctor to never clear him to play, even if he wants to ;).

  • He needs his mullet back because he’s a grown man!

    But really, Ferentz is 26 year tenure and Whitt and Gundy are both 20 years. But I also found out (Aflac trivia question there are only 3 current coaches that have won a natty – Smart, Swinney, and Brown [at Texas, but has been at UNC since ’19]).

  • Didn’t realize he went from Ravens backup to them holding onto him on the practice squad. That stinks. Made the 53-man roster on Browns, then cut shortly afterward, then Ravens giving him a lifeline. Hope he can play and tear it up in Miami but likely backup to Skylar Thompson (2nd year out of Kansas St.) to learn the plays?

  • AAC would love AFA. They would have all 3 service academies.

  • It all comes down to the ACC breakup. When those GOR are done or they figure out how to break away, it will reset a lot of things and there will be a great reshuffling.

  • DataUte replied to the topic Utah State Aggies in the forum Football 3 weeks, 3 days ago

    Y’all are all wrong. We’re going to punt it on first down and let the defense score. Scoop and score, pick-6, blocked FG returned for TD. 21-0. 🙂

    I do hope to hear Wilson to Singer multiple times, Wilson to Kuithe several times, Wilson to Parks, End-around by Stanley, then when it opens up a little, 3 – 100 yd rushers. Take what they give us.…[Read more]

  • DataUte replied to the topic Backup qb situation in the forum Football 3 weeks, 4 days ago

    What a luxury to play 1 half and then basically shut it down. Who cares if we win. No style points are needed this year. Wilson is getting great experience and doesn’t even have to take 1st team reps during practice (which would help in development, but it’s a testament he’s #2 over Rose and Huard, who apparently just aren’t as good or grasping…[Read more]

    Same. NIU is FBS G5 MAC

  • DataUte replied to the topic Crowd in the forum Football 3 weeks, 6 days ago

    yeah, the students always squeeze down, sometimes standing on the bleachers and rows and shoulder to shoulder. Fine with me, concentrates the sound, but then you get some open space at the top.

  • Up in the box, both guys on either side had tablets/computers going. As a leader (with a computer brain), he is assimilating information and can ask questions but doesn’t need to query it himself while using the system that has made him a successful coordinator, which he knows is his wheelhouse. He’s no neophyte to technology, he just uses it…[Read more]

  • DataUte replied to the topic Devaughn Vele in the forum NFL 3 weeks, 6 days ago

    Yep, everything Nix threw (and connected on) was mostly short. Nix was like Wilson – you could see the struggle with the increased speed and talent and getting used to a new system and teammates. Broncos have the most Utah players (even without Tim Patrick).

  • I do have to say, the Padre’s new ballpark is beautiful. I haven’t been, but my sister lives in the area and has shared pictures and my wife went with her siblings on a trip.
