Can someone tell me why we are recruiting him?
During Fall camp, speculation was that Huntley had a shot to win the starting QB spot because he was a better runner than Williams and because of that, Huntley was a better fit for Taylor’s system than Williams. Then Huntley won the job and his running ability along with how it fits with Taylor’s…[Read more]

It was only 2.5 quarters, but now that we have seen Williams and Huntley both in Taylor’s system, is it possible the problems under Harding and A-Rod were more due to lack of QB/WR talent than coaching?
A-Rod took most(all?) of the blame for our lackluster offense and poor QB play, but he didn’t have a sophomore Huntley or Carrington transfer…[Read more]

Some tidbits I have heard from a former BYU player who is still connected to their program.

– Detmer was hired by Holmoe, not Sitake. He was first contacted by Holmoe about a week before Sitake was offered the job.  

– There is “some turmoil” amongst the coaches on BYU’s staff. Sounds like finger pointing and a lack of cohesiveness from what I…[Read more]

Jim Bob Cooter? This can’t be real.

Can someone remind me why we scheduled a home-and-home with NIU?

Home-cookin by the clock operator. The clock didn’t start until the WR caught the ball on that long pass. 

There are a couple of BYU fan claims that I hear quite a bit, but there is no way they can both be true.
1) The supposed gentleman’s agreement between Utah & BYU that we would stick together in whatever conference affiliation. We’ve all heard this, that Utah didn’t keep their end of the agreement by leaving BYU behind when we joined the…[Read more]

How do you not make it a 16 point game there?

B.S.

They get their starting safety back from the targeting suspension.

Where’s the offense we were running last week?
We lost the effectiveness, but kept the penalties.

I’ve only ever been confident that Utah would beat BYU maybe 3 or 4 times – 2010, 2008, 2004, & 2003.
Here’s 10 reasons why I’m not confident we win today:
1) Huntley’s inexperience – While the coaches think he is better than Williams, I’m worried his lack of experience is going to lead to some costly turnovers.
2) OL inexperience – They…[Read more]

I was concerned about the tempo Taylor planned on implementing but was pleased to see the offensive tempo Thursday night. Other than maybe two times, I thought we looked like we were moving quickly when it was advantageous and slowed things down likewise. At no point did I think we were moving at a breakneck pace where we were out of control or…[Read more]
