I can tell the difference. There’s not a coach, player, or analyst on the planet that would call Wilson’s game vs SUU “fantastic” as you did.

Utah State has significantly better talent than SUU. To think that two interceptions against a much better team is cause for concern but two interceptions against a bunch of undersized scout team players…[Read more]

Two interceptions against SUU is “fantastic” but two interceptions against USU will have you calling for the backup?

Yeah, this isn’t a serious take.

Utah will probably win this game, but unless Wilson all of a sudden puts it all together, or the runningbacks morph into Devontae Booker, it’s going to be a very low scoring output by the offense.

To have any shot at legitimacy on par with, or better than, the Big XII, you would need more than just ASU, Arizona, Cal, & Stanford. The plan they are working on is just a slightly better MWC.

Drop Fresno and CSU, bring along the four already mentioned plus Colorado, Oklahoma State, Texas Tech, Baylor, and TCU. Now you’ve got something of worth…[Read more]

From the video I saw, he struggled to pierce the turf but got the blade to go in an inch or two. Then he struggled for a second to remove it from the turf. That description makes it sound worse than it was, it happened very bang-bang quick. Just looked more awkward than anything.

One reason we struggle more with mobile QBs is because we play a lot of man coverage. When your DBs and LBs have their backs turned because they are in coverage, it makes it very easy for a mobile QB to pick up yards with their feet.

White-Red-White with the Drum and Feather is quite possibly our best combination.

I prefer games played in the evening. Let’s me watch other games during the day and get things done.

Semi-related note, having these Thursday openers has been a great move by Hill. One of the only games on, so good exposure and even more important is getting to have an additional couple of days between game 1 and game 2 to iron out the kinks. I’m…[Read more]

We didn’t lose all of those games. We’ve beaten Michigan, Washington, and Oregon, all on the road. But, we’ve also lost to all of those teams on the road. How many of those losses, or the Florida and Rose Bowl losses, were due to the crowd? I would wager they were mostly due to the other teams being better and/or Utah suffering key injuries in those games.

NCAA consequences should be enforced against individuals as well as the school. If a coach cheats and moves on to a new school, the consequences should follow him to that new school. In Harbaugh’s case, the consequence should be waiting for him if he ever decides to come back to college.

Looks like he’s not too happy about his son’s legal/financial trouble being in the national news on top of the negative press his program has gotten after a bad season.

An OT probably has nothing to do with a DE, but 4/5 star athletes probably draw other 4/5 star athletes.

The hype he is getting reminds me of Yassmin. Tons of athleticism, but raw and inconsistent. Hoping his learning curve can be quite a bit smaller.

Traveling one time zone, either direction, isn’t a big deal. The real trouble is when you travel more than one time zone, either direction.

I think avoiding the noon eastern time slot any time we go East will be good for us.

Football: Utah Football specifically, but I love college football. I’m hoping the NIL, revenue sharing, and transfer portal don’t ruin these things for me. NFL, I watch some every week, but it’s not on the same level as my college interest.

Basketball: The NBA died for me in the early 2000s as the Jordan generation all retired. College basketball…[Read more]

I think Bernard will lead the RBs in targets and receptions, but he will not have the most carries.

Rose and Huard will be 2 and 2A, coach speak for “we need to keep you both here, so please don’t transfer because we designated one of you as 3rd string.” Wilson will redshirt.

If Cam goes down, I think we see Huard come in as the true backup, but Rose will be given a shot to prove himself as well. Unless Huard lights it up, then Rose will only…[Read more]

The top 7 have Cam Rising . . . ?

But how would you feel about being in a western division of the ACC with Cal, Stanford, ASU, Arizona, Colorado, Oregon State, Washington State, SMU, and SDSU?

I like the Big 12, but an ACC like that would be at least as good, maybe even better, assuming the money could be the same or better of course.

They blew it with the luxury seats in the SEZ. That part of the stadium looks empty on TV.

Utah isn’t asleep anymore.

I remember hearing back in 2003, one of the reasons Urban came to Utah is because he felt like we were a sleeping giant. He woke us up and Kyle has built us up, especially during our time in the Pac-12. We aren’t an Ohio State or an Alabama, but we are the next best thing compared to those types of programs.
