Ute Dub

An O-line can be helped out by good QB play. If the defense stacks the box and isn’t afraid of getting burned by the QB, it makes the o-line job a lot more difficult. Additionally, if the featured back is banged up and the backup crashes his scooter and is out, that will make the appearance of the O-line play worse. Whenever I hear people gripe a…[Read more]

So you would pay $1-$2 million annually for an admitted unhealthy QB that had only played in 3, 7, 6, and 5 games the preceding 5 years?

He visited Utah on January 5

I’m disappointed the guards don’t prioritize him in the post. Throw the ball to him every time until UCLA sends 2-3 guys.

66-32

63-32 with 9 minutes left.

Is Stanford football a feeder school for Utah’s defense? I kid, but uh, we’ve done well there lately.

Nice! This 247 sports article says he’s played 519 snaps at Free Saftey and 572 snaps at Strong Safety.

Oh, but were you excited when Clarke Phillips opted out of the Rose Bowl and Utah started a Running back at corner?

Debatable. High’s and low’s. 4 TD’s and 7 INT’s in 2021.

“Seeking a fresh start after three years of high highs and low lows at Indiana, Penix turned to a coach he trusted in newly hired Washington head coach Kalen DeBoer. Within 10 days of putting his name in the portal, the quarterback knew where he needed to be.”

“Seems weird to me to criticize giving these troubled kids a second chance in a structured and disciplined environment to succeed. The majority have been success stories.”

Oh, “charged”. Therefore, throw them away? Got it. Here’s a well documented instance of Utah coaches bringing a kid in who had served time in jail. McBride had tons of guys that had served time. They don’t think they’re throw aways, neither do I. But you do. WHAT AN AMAZING PERSPECTIVE You have!!! Please teach me.

I’m not looking for help, certainly not from you. The reality is that there are multiple players who have come through Utah that have been in the same situation as Bridges, that Kyle Whittingham recruited.

Nick Saban weighs in:

Based on what? Don’t you think Hall and Ritchie have that locked down? I have no insider information, so you may be right? My casual fan opinion would be that Tai Johnson moves to corner.

We already got Anthony Woods. Plus, Mitchell. Also, Bernard coming back. We’re good.

I mostly agree. Bentley was 3-2 as the starter during the Covid year, if I remember correctly.

I was very optimistic after that Covid year knowing we likely had 4 more years of Ty Jordan. 🥲

That’s for a top and proven QB. Rising wasn’t proven, Penix wasn’t great before he came to Washington, there’s a lot of high talent that’s unproven and won’t be that high of sticker price IMHO.
