The Miami Ute

You’ll need to talk to my editor about clickbait headlines. I can only be held accountable for the content of my posts which are the most reasonable and levelheaded of any I’ve read on this site

2021: it would be between #11 Utah and #12 Pitt for the 5th conference autobid. Does the committee still jump 10-3 Utah 6 spots for beating Oregon in the CCG and rank higher than 11-2 Pitt? Bama, Michigan, Cincy & Baylor get the byes.

2022: it would be between #8 Utah and #9 K State for the last bye. Does the committee jump 10-3 Utah 3 spots…[Read more]

Everything is a binary choice and he’s the guy making the decisions. We can only evaluate what did happen, not whether a different option would have produced a different outcome.

The problem is that we’re not allowed to have an honest conversation about Whitt. Point out a specific failure and someone will pop up saying “but 20 years of…[Read more]

bigotry is a two way street, especially when it comes to religion

Nothing definitive, just like every other week of the year.

Sooooo there’s reasons why those scores and games have been that way outside of just the qb. Is it the main problem? Obviously. But the coaching has been shit. The adjustments have been shit. The handling of the entire offense has been shit. The defense is exhausted. The locker room drama, fighting etc with the skill position players. There’s man…[Read more]

There is very little evidence that Whitt can turn it around either. Other than him getting a huge bag I don’t see how it turns around for Utah.

The way these losses are happening are very clearly the sign of a coach who lost the sauce. The offense has only improved due to defenses lacking film on who they cart out. Whitt has also had two byes t…[Read more]

I know you may think you are trying to make a point but many schools chase away a coach and then have problems after he leaves.
We can keep denying it or we can believe it is just a series of unfortunate events that has lead Utah to the worst season since 1986. Like a LOT of unfortunate events at this point on top of unfortunate events.

He would have been much worst in Utah this season.

Fatigue was an issue in the first half. Pick 6’s are great but your D goes right back on the field. Same with the ST play where the O went 3 and out, or the punt block.

@BleedsRedUte: My theory is personnel. Utah doesn’t have a Safety who is excellent in run support like Bishop or Blair. Utah also doesn’t have an eraser at LB like Lloyd, Hansen, C. Barton.,, Because of those two missing elements, Scalley is having to play a read/react style instead of his favored attack.

Add in that the D Line hasn’t had a…[Read more]

While Baylor has won 5 straight. This upside down conference is sure baffling

I had Iowa State as my sleeper team but I doubt anyone had Iowa State / Arizona State as the favourites for the CCG with parochial school / Colorado ready to pounce if either or both falter. While at the same time the only thing keeping the two 20 year head coaches…[Read more]

The QB position is only part of the reason why the season completely nosediving like this. There’s many slices to this shit pie.

Accounted for 323 yards and four touchdowns. Woooooooo. Pig. Sooie!

Are we sure that wasn’t a former PAC crew? It was for the parochial school game

There’s 3 or 4 people in the booth for each side of the ball. Usually GA’s or Analysts who watch for specific things and try to identify trends. Since Bajakian isn’t just the QB coach, someone has to be keeping track of what the booth is seeing and communicate with the QB’s like all of the other position coaches do.
