  I’m at the game and saw him shaking his right hand as he came off the field.

  You saw what we saw on TV. No news so far. It should’ve been a penalty for a late shove.

    Yeah, these refs are dubious. In the NFL that’s most definitely a personal foul. Instead of releasing Rising, the Baylor dude got a push in at the end of the play.

      Even Huard and Blandino said it shouldn’t have been called grounding,(which it wasn’t and the call was overturned) but that it should’ve been a flag for the late shove. So Yeah, we got doubly f**ked there.

  Looks like he hurt his pinky during the collision?

  got tossed into the coolers on the Baylor sideline. I actually thought he might have taken a shot to the ribs but it sounds like he might have landed on his hand

    My guess is broken finger(s) on throwing hand. If so, not good. Wilson looks terrible.

    For real? If so, turn out the lights because the party’s over. No way Utah even challenges for the conference title with Wilson as QB1.

      that can’t be true. I’ve been told all week that Wilson just needs Rising to get out of his way so that he can win the Heisman. I mean, there are some who have even claimed that him throwing picks last week was a good thing

    That’s an insanely long time frame for a finger for someone in their 20s.

  He’s on the sideline in street clothes with his hands taped. Someone enlighten me, would that be broken fingers? Just jammed really bad? Or something else in between? I genuinely don’t know

  Not trying to be mean, but it’s obvious that Wilson, no matter his potential, is nowhere being ready for prime time. The offense with him under center looks decidedly worse than it was with Barnes. FFS, we’re back to square one because Rising can’t stay healthy. What’s going to happen from here on in until Rising comes back? Stack the box and dare Wilson to beat you, and just from the short sample size, he’s nowhere as elusive as Barnes was.

    Wilson being the back up just confirms that Rose must really suck

      Betcha Barnes is kicking himself for leaving the program.

        why? he’d started for this program, passed up higher rated recruits, and still wasn’t elevated to scholarship status until they pretty much had to. at some point you have to realize that no matter what you do, it won’t be good enough. might as well try somewhere else and see if you can be appreciated.

        Where would you rather be playing? Utah or Utah State? Plus he was a backup at Logan until the starter got hurt.

        I’d rather be playing at Utah State instead of the projected QB3 or QB4 at Utah. Because I would have been of the mindset that I had proven that I could play at a P4 level. But that’s just me trying to put myself in his shoes.
        
        Fan talk to the contrary, these kids want to play. And Barnes had played, and won games for Utah. Why would he want to go back to the bench?

      Wilson is not worth the hype he had coming in.
      
      Premier QBs can hit a un-pressured out route on a critical third down, but he sailed it.
      
      Sad we can’t find a decent backup

        We have to give him some time. Maybe the switch will turn on once it’s decided that he’s QB1 for an extended period. To me, it’s absolutely crazy that Utah finds itself in the same situation two years in a row. And, as I said previously, I’d feel a hell of a lot better about the remainder of the season if Barnes was still around.

    We need to give Rose or Huard a half each next week. Wilson is clearly not it right now, and I guess those fall camp highlights and scrimmage highlights are just him being a practice demon, but a deer in the headlights in game.

  True freshmen are almost never good. Experienced and talented QBs are gold and they are hard to keep in stock. Wilson needs time.

  Idk, as a long Utah fan it was obvious they decided to protect the lead once Rising went out. I’m still upside on Wilson if they ever decide to use the full playbook.

    contract the playbook, run what he is comfortable with and depend on the other 10 guys on the field. the last thing you want to do is overwhelm the kid by expecting him to have a 7th year QB’s knowledge of the playbook.

    Not really, he was given a shot in the 3rd to play but the coaches completely shut down the offense after back to back series where Wilson threw incompletions on high/low route concepts because he missed the read. The second one would have been a 70 yard touchdown to Money Parks. Those are half field concepts a 1 read, run first QB in high school should have mastered.
