Interlocking U for me. It looks like to me there’s a conscious and gradual shift away from drum and feather. Just my view, I’ve seen nothing reported to this effect, but seems like interlocking U getting more use and exposure as of late.

Anyone out there that thinks Barnes’ ceiling is a P5 QB1? If not, then he is in the way.
Yergensen replied to the topic Nate Johnson in the forum Football 3 weeks, 4 days ago
IMO Barnes shouldn’t be in the running.

Cam injury was a primary factor also
Yergensen replied to the topic Nate Johnson in the forum Football 3 weeks, 4 days ago
If we lose Nate Johnson it better be because he’s QB2 and wanted to be QB1, but was blocked by Cam. It should not in any case be due to his being QB3 behind Barnes.

Defense has given up 83 points in 2 Rose Bowls. No bueno.
Yergensen replied to the topic Let's not pretend that this team was awesome before the RB game in the forum Football 1 month ago
Urban legend re: Sugar Bowl was Brian Johnson was calling that game on field. Ludwig doesn’t seem to get a lot of credit for that game. In any case, Ludwig has been our best OC since Chow imo. However, he has his warts for sure and in certain games (see Oregon, Penn St), his personnel and play decisions can be stupefying.
Yergensen replied to the topic In my mind this L compares to the Florida and Oregon games. in the forum Football 1 month ago
We got chunk yards on the edges right up until Rising went out. Between the tackles wasn’t a lost cause, had to hit them there selectively but not very productive. Thought both RPO, jet action and even the pitch option was working well. We just didn’t do it enough. JJ and Bernard needed 2x the touches they got last night with JD mixed in more. Wit…[Read more]
Yergensen replied to the topic In my mind this L compares to the Florida and Oregon games. in the forum Football 1 month ago
It wasn’t clear to me what Ludwig’s game plan was. Given the circumstances and the playmakers we had left, I would have expected us to go more run heavy and use RPO more than we did. Certainly expected this after Cam went out. Instead we tried to force feed the WR and Yassmin, threw in a momentum killing trick play all while the run game and jet…[Read more]

Good observations
Yergensen replied to the topic This year’s defense in the forum Football 1 month ago
Post is directed at the defense as a whole. IMO it’s missing that physicality and nastiness that Utah defenses are known for.
Yergensen replied to the topic Gotta say it and I know it comes when I’m being irrational. in the forum Football 1 month ago
Yes, coaches have to know what they have and whether under the circumstances a guy can win you a game. Barnes wasn’t going to win that game or even keep it close for RB and/or defense to win it. Was he really our best option? If so, then coaches are accountable for not getting better talent behind Cam. If not, then the coaches are accountable f…[Read more]

didn’t look like a Utah defense. Had some games, had to blitz a lot to get pressure. Didn’t see the physicality and nastiness we usually see. I know they’re young and will get better with time, but do they have that dawg in them ala Blair, FBernard or Anae?
Yergensen started the topic What needs to improve to take that next step? in the forum Football 1 month ago
We’re not winning the P5 non-conference games. We’re not getting thru conference schedule unblemished. Is the needed solution/improvement as simple as coaching and culture continuity with year over year improvement in recruiting? That’s what has gotten us to this level. It’s a gradual process/grind for sure. On the other hand there isn’t much, if…[Read more]

Barnes should not be in the starting QB competition next year. Ludwig has already says he is, but he can’t be serious = coach speak.

Yergensen replied to the topic Transfer Portal thread in the forum Football 2 months ago
Wary of “plug & play” QBs in the portal. The two we brought in were broken out of the box. Rising worked out great for us as a developmental transfer, other teams have had success with plug and play transfer QBs (CW, Penix, Nix), us not so much.
Yergensen replied to the topic I hope we stick to red for the Road Bowl in the forum Football 2 months ago
Red and white were the colors when I went to school at the U. Use of black uniform coloring (both Utah and BYU started outlining jersey numbers with it in the late 90’s) and blackout uniforms caught on in the 2000’s. Unfortunately (IMO) some of us didn’t reverse trend.
