The Miami Ute

Gator channels are on funeral watch..they’re saying that if the Gators lose to McNeese State, Sunbelt Billy is gone that evening…

If he commits to staying at Utah and working hard, Johnson can be incredibly special. He has all of the physical gifts in the world. Just needs to mature football wise.

No doubt. It’s a great victory. We also had a bunch of starters out on defense.

Second half was downright ugly….and some of the calls were headscratchers…why do you go uptempo when you’re trying to burn clock and your running game is starting to work?

I didn’t…my buddy and I were sitting in the first row right behind the Gator bench wearing Utah jerseys and we were harassed the entire game. We were the only Utah fans in the vicinity where I was sitting.

Tony, how many Florida fans are you seeing at the game? I imagine the vast majority of them are actually based in the area.

Imagine being in a stadium with them and being outnumbered 9 to 1.

Head Games

Utah’s offense for the Florida game will be far better than the outfit that showed up versus Wazzu. We’ll have an experienced JJ, a healthy Bernard, Mycah Pittman, Emery Simmons, and Mikey Matthews. That’s in addition to Vele and Parks. Also, we’ll also have a much more experienced and confident Thomas Yassmin. If Austin Armstrong tries to…[Read more]

Martin Stadium in Pullman is a tough place to play, no mistake. And that was a Wazzu team that went to Madison, Wisconsin and gave Mertz and the Badgers a loss. As to whether Florida’s defense will be far better than Wazzu, well, they certainly weren’t last year. Last year, Wazzu was the 38th-ranked defense while Florida was #87. Yes, I get…[Read more]

Well, I’ll see you in the chat then. Hope it’s fun as in other times…

Actually, this might work to our favor from a psychological standpoint. You have to figure that Florida will be overconfident, it’s just the nature of the business with Utah’s two best players being out, and will probably think that they’ll have an easy time at Rice-Eccles. Yeah, I know that Sunbelt Billy and his coaches will be warning the…[Read more]

Eagle, are you going to the game or watching from Eagle Mountain? I’ve got tickets to three games this season but not this one.

Personally, I don’t think Barnes gets a chance to lose the game for Utah. If, during the first 2-3 series, he looks completely outmatched, KW will make a change to Johnson and run some version of the Wildcat (as in having the person playing QB mostly look to run instead of pass) with Johnson and Jackson getting all of the touches. It can happen.…[Read more]

Massive props to KW for keeping a non-story front and center until hours before game time. Anyone with any experience with ACL injuries already knew that it was almost impossible for Rising to go in the first game.

Study for your test. That’s the really important thing. Whether Utah wins or loses has no impact on your life. Football, all sports in general, is entertainment. Don’t let it become more than that.
