    @Jim, it wasn’t having a big back in TT that made us red zone elite for 1 season (yes, just 1 season). It was TT’s elite vision combined with a really good OL.

    Yes, TT was big, but he was 4.8 slow and mediocre after contact, not nearly as physical a runner as his size suggested. His height played a part, he ran pads high. But, TT could see the…[Read more]

  • Jk it’s not that serious and there’s a lot more important shi* in the world to worry about. But I did find myself hoping I’d wake up and realize that game was a sh**** dream. IMO that was the most painful loss since the 2019 Pac12 championship. You just entered the top 10, fans and national media have crowned you as the flag bearers and big dogs…[Read more]

    I will admit that I haven’t watched the game yet as I DVR’d it, but having said that, here’s a potentially unpopular take on the loss to AZ after reading about the game and several related Ute Hub posts:

    First, Utah always seems to have at least one “WTF” loss per season, with the exceptions of 2004 and 2008, and in 2008 there were games that…[Read more]

    Oh come on, this is the price paid for wins. Changing diapers, going to work, cleaning the gutters is a hell of a lot more fun when we win. I’m sure I was not the only one who was happy about moving up after the Ole Miss loss and had my eye on Pedo St. Up until it went final.

    This is why losses hurt. Deal with it and quit trying to minimize…[Read more]

    Jim,
    I think they did know what we were doing at times based on the defensive look. They seemed to know some of our calls. It happens with great preparation.

    The backers definitely need to accept some blame for Arizona’s success. I agree with ST. I also think the D’line, for whatever reason, weren’t the aggressors the majority of the time…[Read more]

    Definitely not losing this week

  • Utes 69 replied to the topic So, yes I'm ticked, but… in the forum Football 1 week ago

    I am 64 years old, work 11 hour days, 5 days a week sciatica, sore knees and back.

    Cam get your ass out these and win some games!

    coaching staff, half time of a game you getting whooped on!

    might want to go in at halftime and make changes?

    2 backs, 3 or 4 TE, 5 wideouts blitz every down please do something! anything!

  • All I can say is I’m glad I am not currently paying for season tickets. Yeah we had a bad game and it’s only one loss. Most of my emotions have faded at this point, except for the will Cam play or won’t he play, week in and week out debacle.

    That was such a disaster last year, and this damn coaching staff is putting the fans through it again…[Read more]

  • Jim Vanderhoof replied to the topic Win the bye week… in the forum Football 1 week ago

    Thanks Rick and Stbone. Always appreciate your posts. The red zone performance was bad. It’s been bad for a couple years. Not having that big back hurts. That RPO with Rising and TT was hard to stop. Rising will open the play book more.

    Stbone I was watching Barton last game. He over ran a couple tackles and Fano lost containment a couple t…[Read more]

  • Ute Dub replied to the topic Bizarro World in the forum Football 1 week ago

    We do not.

  • stbone replied to the topic Win the bye week… in the forum Football 1 week ago

    At a high-level, we all expected a WTF loss, and here we are.

    As a side rant, I hate the way Utah LB’s are coached and play, and this game exposed that technique. (The last LB that I enjoyed watching from a technique standpoint was Cody Barton). The LB’s seem to be coached to avoid blocks and quickly flow. That works IF your DL eats the vast…[Read more]

  • Jim Vanderhoof replied to the topic So, yes I'm ticked, but… in the forum Football 1 week ago

    Amen. We weren’t ready to play.

  • lgt4141 replied to the topic Football is Entertainment in the forum Football 1 week ago

    It is easy to get sucked into the hype and it is fun when the Utes win and sucks when they lose but a reminder like Saturday is can be good to have. Win or lose diapers will still have to changed the next day in my house.

  • enigami344 replied to the topic Football is Entertainment in the forum Football 1 week ago

    ya I get that, and I am not mad at anyone either. But when life gets busy and football pretty much become my only entertainment, this loss stinks. The past weekend felt very empty. I probably need a healthier life

  • utefansince79 replied to the topic So, yes I'm ticked, but… in the forum Football 1 week ago

    It’s been noted a few other places that our last home loss to an unranked visitor was in 2017. So it isn’t like we make a habit of this. Just a game we need to learn from and move on.

  • lgt4141 replied to the topic Bizarro World in the forum Football 1 week ago

    Maybe there is more parity in the Big 12 than originally thought. It doesn’t like a conference anyone will go undefeated in at least this year.

  • Jim Vanderhoof replied to the topic So, yes I'm ticked, but… in the forum Football 1 week ago

    I agree proud Ute. We’ve been invincible at night at RES. I’ve been to every game (missed a couple is all)for the last 50 years. The Urban second year was the best as far as fan excitement. We had never reached those heights before. Seems every year the expectations have gotten higher and the disappointment higher.

  • Rick started the topic Win the bye week… in the forum Football 1 week ago

    I was impressed with Whittingham’s reaction/remarks following the loss. If you haven’t read the piece in the Deseret Morning News focused just on his response, I recommend it.

    He’s committed to fixing the red zone issues. I hope so. The program is long overdue to modernize red zone strategy and practice. I love how many of our opponents approach…[Read more]

  • RedRocks replied to the topic Bizarro World in the forum Football 1 week ago

    I like your optimism, but not your comparison.

    It has become quite clear to me that there is a portion of our fanbase that has become just as bad (or worse) than the portion of the TDS fanbase that we like to ridicule.

    All off-season people had to listen to the obnoxious portion of our fanbase gloat about superiority. Then we got to listen to…[Read more]
