JQJ is on campus now. Spring reps help Brewer, but Rising still has 2 years in the program and won the job last year. If Rising isn’t fully healed, then I think Brewer’s the guy too, but if both are healthy I’m taking Rising.

Rick was indeed a genius. Whether you liked or disliked him, I think everyone would agree on that point.

People skills might be putting it lightly. Some of the stories are bizarre, but I loved those teams. Truly the golden years of Utah basketball.

I’ll have to check out that interview. My fanboy read on the situation is Brewer is insurance in case Rising doesn’t fully recover in time. I’m hyped for JQJ as well. Vince Young type QB and playmaker…yes, please.

Brewer’s stats aren’t great. Low 60’s in completion rate and TD to int ratio is between 2/3 to 1. His stats look alot like Bentley’s did at SC and against worse competition, not compelling at all. I would hope Rising could at least produce on this level and would offer a higher ceiling.

The only WR I have seen have trouble getting separation is Enis. The WR were solid to good against even top P12 competition with Huntley at QB. Quarterbacking and OL were the issue in 2020, not WR.

Let me say up front, I wanted Larry Scott removed years ago. IMO he has done significant damage to the conference to gross personal benefit.
The irony is he helped and drove conference expansion and our inclusion in that expansion. If we were to speculate, were there other forces at work then or after that would have promoted us to P5 or would…[Read more]

Room is more full than mentioned. Money Parks and Makai Cope will be really good. Question is how soon will they break in. I think we need a vertical threat, but beyond that I think we’re in good hands.

John White and Devontae Booker shouldered that load, but Bernard can’t? Okay.
Yergensen replied to the topic Utah talented transfer portal list: in the forum Football 2 months ago
We see it the same way. Hard to wait for a BYU receiver to come open though and Zach has thrown to alot of tight windows sometimes resulting in picks. They had all day to get open this year given BYU oline superiority over poor competition. They played alot of backyard football and Zach was the beneficiary. I’m not even sure he was on NFL…[Read more]

Indeed, need to replace Jaylen Dixon. Would like him to come back, but need deep threat receiver.

Yergensen replied to the topic Dart in the forum Football 2 months, 1 week ago
Moot point with Dart yes, however it’s the approach taken with Tuttle and Costelli (1 qb per class) that I’m interested in. It may be indicative of a strategy that we’re taking. Pure speculation and would be interesting to know how our recruiters assessed Zach Wilson and Dart, but happy that we’re getting the QB talent that we are…big step up…[Read more]

Tafua is not a good pass rusher. Don’t take my word for it, look at his stats and player ratings.
Yergensen started the topic Coach Whit not happy with pass rush in the forum Football 2 months, 3 weeks ago
From Coach Whit,
“It’s not due to a lack of effort. Our guys are playing hard and doing everything they can. But that was a concern last week. It’s not what we usually are in the pass rush. We’re usually much more effective. That’s something that hopefully we get back this week.”
Will be interesting to see if/what adjustments they make rest of…[Read more]
Yergensen replied to the topic Killer instinct in the forum Football 2 months, 3 weeks ago
My issue is that someone took the air out of the ball with conservative playcalling in the 2nd half, which contributed to complete loss of momentum and potentially even lost confidence by the offense. We play conservatively leading to the 4th and short. Then we make an “aggressive” decision to go for it, but then call a conservative play. Mak…[Read more]
