We owe Utah State a monstrous beat down in their stadium. That 2012 loss still lives in my head 😡

[22Ute22]

I hope we absolutely crush their soul. That 2012 loss still angers me lmao.

Ok, we are seriously in panic mode, right? We can’t retain Bills with NIL despite him being projected as a 5th round-UDFA player. We are losing our two best O-lineman and our replacements probably aren’t going to be good enough. I’m very worried about our team next year…

[22Ute22]

Damn, so I guess OnlyU saying that our staff was going all in next year was a lie if this is the best we could do for Safety in the portal :/

[22Ute22]

That’s what I’ve seen too, and it makes a lot of sense. I’m pretty sure he’s from the area. Plus, SMU has rich boosters and they need to up their talent level if they hope to compete in the ACC.

[22Ute22]

Can you explain more? Other players thought NJ should have been given a full week of reps or what? Or did they simply view NJ as the best QB available, despite not much evidence to show that he was.

[22Ute22]

OnlyU said the same thing and our O-line was mediocre.

[22Ute22]

Yeah, that’s the point. We just lost our two best safeties, are losing two CB’s, although they weren’t very good, and we are replacing them with lowly recruited players that most likely won’t have an immediate impact for next year. We have had no good news in the last week for the 2024 season. We don’t know if Kuithe is coming back. We don’t know if we are gonna get any good TE recruits like Ryan or Conyers. We are probably losing Bills and Laumea and we don’t seem to have any good replacements for them. Sorry that I’m not exactly thrilled about this.

It may seem unfair, but JC players, specially those rated at .83 as a JC player, aren’t and shouldn’t be given the benefit of the doubt like highly rated HS or FBS transfers. He has to show that he belongs, and I hope he proves me massively wrong.

[22Ute22]

No he won’t. Bishop isn’t a freak athlete like Vaki. Bishop should’ve come back and worked on his spread, quickness, and pass protection in the offseason, and then showed that he improved in all of those areas with Utah in 2024.
