You’re neither “accurate” nor “honest”. You said you’d never post on here if your pick for OC didn’t come to fruition. Yet here you are, 2-hrs after Jason Beck was hired as Utah’s newest OC, still posting.

If you want to post lies, go to cougarboard. They live for those types of fantasies. You’ll fit right in. You’d be venerated even. They…[Read more]

Fifita beat Utah at home so in Utah fans minds that means good. Guy is pretty average. I would take him for sure but if it was between Fifita and Dampier I would take the one Beck has used already.

#5 rushing offense in the nation this past season. A spot in front of Boise State and 2200 yard rusher Ashton Jeanty.

12 TDs & 12 picks in general is not a good ratio, but 12 TDs & 12 picks along with 19 rushing TDs is absolutely outstanding!

Not sure why everyone is always so fixed on stats. If the odds of scoring within the Redzone are higher by running the ball than by passing, you run the damn ball. Its not brain surgery here. Dampier is a hell of a…[Read more]

He may be a better coach on paper, but like Leftwich his teams played garbage competition. My concern with Beck is recruiting.

Yeah, I may not have been clear. I saw an article that Bronco wants the Utah State job and would assume he would try to bring Beck with him since they’ve got a 10 year relationship across multiple schools. Whitt can offer more than Bronco can in salary so why not take the money?

I’m trying to shorten my posts but have never been good at saying…[Read more]

gotcha. ignore the 5 game losing streak where they scored 14, 7, 3, 10 & 10 with QB1 and QB2 and count the FCS game where they scored 65.

That TE was a 3* QB transfer from Michigan and I see a WR throwing one pass on the season.

Yards per game rank (stats courtesy of sports-reference.com):

2024: 130.4 rush (#98), 199.4 pass (#99), 329.8 total (#115) – Ludwig / Bajakian
2023: 182.5 rush (#34), 165.8 pass (#120), 348.4 total (#94) – Ludwig
2022: 217.6 rush (#11), 249.2 pass (#50), 466.9 total (#17) – Ludwig
2021: 217.1 rush (#14), 214.3 pass (#85), 431.4 total (#41) -…[Read more]

I think most people know it won’t change much offensively with Whitt still the HC

Well remember Whit has to have that talk with Rising.

I’m actually fairly accurate, you’re missing the big picture.

Arbuckle was head of the 22nd ranked offense last year.
Leftwich was head of the 6th ranked offense last year.
Beck was head of the 4th ranked offense last year.

Beck has more experience at the FBS level than either of those other guys. Spent many years in ACC at Virginia and then at Syracuse. I recognize Arbuckle and Leftwich were hotter…[Read more]

I don’t think anything will change as long as Whitt is around. I place zero expectations on the offense. But I expect improvement because the bar has been set so low.

Fifita is a shrimp too.

Joe Williams backed up Booker in 2015, was the main back the 2nd half of 2016.

Chris Curry got 38 carries over 3 years for Utah. Maybe you meant Pledger? TJ had 700 yards in 2021.

I think this is a fine hire. Everything will be OK.

Now actually the research…and look at all the injuries during his season at Syracuse:

2023 Syracuse season is akin to Utah

Averaged 462 yards and 38 points through the first five games (Clemson, Purdue, Western Michigan among them). Injuries mounted by game five vs Clemson. Next four games were significantly impacted by the absences. Finished f…[Read more]
