Similar. I actually expect 70/30 run with time of possession playing the biggest role to wear them down then pull ahead in the 4th after the altitude fatigue sets in. Whitt will want TO-free play and not take too many risks, especially with Barnes in (with NJ in about 5-8 plays doing some wildcat with an occasional RPO). Passes will be short to…[Read more]

I’ll admit that I occasionally go over there, but I actually have all the sports categories unchecked (so only travel, business, misc is left). But I also delight that my work computer has no problem with ute forums but for CB, it’s even uglier and harder to use, so essentially blocked (like white page with individual links to a post). Jefe keeps…[Read more]

Does Vegas hear things and change the line or do people hear things, the betting shifts one direction, so Vegas then adjusts the line to try to balance out their risk? (honestly, I don’t know – don’t really keep track of odds and how it all works)

Here’s one location it’s confirmed: 247 – before WSU game

For Barnes, it’s his collegiate start. He was a walk-on in 2020 before earning a scholarship. He played in three games in 2021 and four contests in 2022.

It’s still fine to call him ‘walk-on Bryson Barnes’ as that’s where he started. He wasn’t ranked in the 2020 recruiting class and had…[Read more]

I agree that anyone thinking we will dominate ANY conference is certifiable. I don’t think any team dominates any conference almost ever. Even SEC teams have up and down years (sometimes that floor is still pretty high) but still struggle in some individual games.

I wouldn’t say we even dominated the PAC the last 2 years. Yes, we won the CCG, but…[Read more]

Agree – good with CBs. Seems almost like, ‘let’s see, who wants to take ST’s?’ afterthought. As noted below, Jay Hill was great. My argument is that the coverage is on the coaches. Kickers, as noted below, have been generally lucky, but glad we got the CU guy transferring in.

Definitely feel a momentum swing. The program is at a high still with room to go. This recruiting class will take a year or two to become starters (transfer guys ready to go now) but gives us even more depth which is needed.

I was really optimistic and excited in 2021 hoping for a 10-win season and hopes of a PAC12 championship and it happened…[Read more]

He was still recovering from his shoulder injury and they went with Brewer and his 4 years experience starting at Baylor. In hindsight, it was a miss as Brewer was selfish and the team didn’t like him and fought for Cam (was still a captain). IIRC, it was neck and neck and Brewer just got the nod since he was more or less ‘1-and-done’ and they had…[Read more]

I agree with most you said, but I don’t like the ‘we backed into the CCG’ rhetoric. Sure, there were some that if they won, they were in (Oregon). But if you change the schedule around and we play Oregon St. last and had to win, we would have ‘won our way in’. Everyone put together the season and all had access to the same tie-breakers. We earned…[Read more]

Agree. Even with talent or ability, Rising was getting #1 reps and Barnes #2, so only scraps or special plays for NJ. Still think it’s Johnson or Rose competing for QB1 and Barnes probably either is 2 or moves to 3 or see if he wants to try a different position. But schemes will be mich different for Johnson (or Rose) but there just weren’t enough…[Read more]

<edited> I misread who the previous message was directed to, took it personally, and acted like a douche canoe. Sorry for being that. And forgetting this is a message board to talk about our favorite team. Go Utes!
