Sling has a new option this year that you can pay for a single day for $4.99, but if its on ESPN + your only option is to purchase a month of ESPN+. However, last year there weren’t many games on ESPN+.

If you have family with traditional cable you can typically use their password to watch on the various apps.

The problem is all of the different places a game might be shown. When Utah was in the Pac, you would have to get both sports options on Sling since Fox and ESPN were split between the two. Hulu + Live can cost you around 100 a month and you still wouldn’t have Paramount which could be where the UCLA game is. Hulu was in the 70’s when I last had it in 2022 and I assume it’s gone up since then.

I stream using sportsurge.net and can watch every game. I did have to change my browser from Chrome to Firefox last season when google stopped allowing my Ad Blocker (UBlock). You can run into buffering issues on high traffic games and there is also the problem of being able to find the game when it inevitably gets moved to another channel for the first quarter because they can’t properly schedule for live content. But the good thing is they have access to pretty much all sports except golf so it can be used for more than just Saturday’s.

I do recommend avoiding the live chat during games if you are streaming since inevitably there are 3 or 4 people who are 15-30 seconds ahead of you.

The Utah Athletics website (Utah-Schedule) says that the UCLA game is on FOX. Did I miss something about Paramount?

The thing is, at least under Whitt, there is a huge gap between what Utah was capable of doing with Rising and BJ compared to the other quarterbacks that rolled through SLC (I’ll throw in Huntley for good measure).

Only once: 2015 with Travis Wilson, has Utah won nine regular season games with a QB other than Huntley or Rising in the post-MWC era. So, while Rising wasn’t elite by national standards, he certainly was elite by Utah standards. And that’s really the point: the gap between a Rising/Huntley and even a Travis Wilson is significant.

If Utah is actually going to finish 9-3, I suspect Dampier will have to be a lot closer to Rising and Huntley than pretty much every other QB we’ve seen over the last 15 or so years.

Super. Thank you. I will send you an email.

Did something change about ESPN+? I’m pretty sure many of Utah’s games will not be on ESPN+.
If I recall correctly, last year there were only a small number of Utah games on ESPN+.

This. Dampier might not be an all-world passer, but he is an elusive runner, and sure seems to be a better passer than Barnes (and I like Barnes). This year should be better than 2023 on offense, and certainly light-years better than last year.

For an apples to apples comparison that considers injuries we might need to compare Cam to Penix, Williams and Nix where all had a career ending injury and miss most of the senior year partly caused by a previous injury. Injuries had him coming up short but they all were transfers but one had two conference championships. However, I am not sure Cam would have the same kind of success in the NFL. As a college QB, Cam is there with them, not a tier down.

I don’t mean to quibble too much over Rising but the shoulder injury against USC affected his arm strength (and it seemed even his throwing motion). Coming out of high school I seem to recall that he was one of the stronger-armed quarterbacks.

only when compared to the average Utah QB

Penix, Williams and Nix were elite QB’s. Rising was in the next tier down. Still pretty damn good but not elite
