So how does Kyle solve the problem of short kickoffs and bad kickoff coverage (our kicker had to make the tackle in a recent game which probably saved a touchdown)?
I’m kind of miffed that the Utes can’t recruit a local kid that has a great leg, and can kick it out of the endzone easily, especially in rice-eccles at altitude.
As to the coverage problem, it seems like the Utes haven’t been great in this department for years. Means it is a problem with personnel, not scheme. Utah uses 2 deep guys to cover, and tries to save the 1s against injury, etc..
Doesn’t look like they can afford to do this until they have quality atheletes top to bottom. They need to use the best players on coverage, especially in big games.
The Utes are a good team, but the short kicks and weak coverage are going to bite them in the Butt. I hope Kyle has some kind of plans to mitigate these problems. Kick it out of bounds and take the penalty? Saves a long run back???
