      would have told you week 9 this squad would be 6-2 with Bryson Barnes as QB, a flurry of injuries and derailments you would take it 10/10 times. I’m proud of this team and there is still much to accomplish and cheer for. Proud of #16 man. Hats off to Oregon.

      I would not take that 10/10 times. i’d rather build toward the future. 🤷‍♂️ if i heard bryson barnes was the starter and we aren’t getting to the PAC12 championship. i’d take it 0/10 times.

          Barnes is tough, and i’m not taking anything away from him.
          i just don’t. believe he has much upside. i find it pointless to have a QB that is not good enough when you have younger guys with more upside.

            i’d rather go 4-8 to make sure the next 3-4 years are good.

      Agreed, if Utah goes 9-3 in season this year with a bowl win it’ll be an amazing season.

      Barnes has has some amazing growth this year, tough to see these games in the moment though.

        I haven’t seen Barnes improve, other then finally stepping up in the pocket a few times, but still not reading his progressions to find the open man.

        Doesn’t mean he can’t improve, just I haven’t seen it.

        I think the coaches decided early on they’d play with the higher floor and will live with the lower ceiling.

        Problem is this game manager has 5 INTs, and none of the gunslinger plays that would go with having so many INTs

          Oh but yes I agree that being 6-2 with Barnes is good, surprising for sure. But it speaks to the rest of the team not Barnes, today’s game not withstanding.

      It is copium but yeah. This season is scuff and 6-2 is pretty nice.
      Sending USC packing still sweet.
