Your skepticism is warranted, but for me, the circumstances of this OC hire are different than the rest which gives me hope the results will follow.

I hope the offense will be transformed, but I think you’re giving Whitt too much credit.

I’ll believe he has gotten out of his own way and the OC’s way when I see it. We will see it in scheme, we will see it in the “throw game”. True change specifically will be less predictable playcalling and game plan, increased WR use and targets, throwing…[Read more]

We need depth at Qb. Dampier will get beat up running the ball. Ficklin has similar skills to Dampier. A much different offense than we’ve seen in the Ludwig era. A less complicated offense should make it easier for the young QBs to grasp and get ready to play sooner. The spark has been lit on offense. If the Oline buys in it could be a fun y…[Read more]

Calling me gun shy when it comes to any news about Quarterbacks doesn’t begin to describe how I feel. I won’t trust the “rhetoric” around the qb room until 16 games are hopefully played. (Hopefully you see what I did there)

He was a late cycle flip from texas state out of oklahoma, just before early signing day. Jamarian Ficklin – https://www.si.com/college/utah/football/2025-three-star-qb-jamarian-ficklin-flips-from-texas-state-to-utah

Sorry, for overreacting, it’s just been an open wound for me for about the last 8 to 10 weeks. And while being one of the best defenders on this team may be a low bar, it’s only a low bar because that’s apparently where Craig set it. My point is simply that because he has distinguished himself on this team in nearly every statistical category…[Read more]

Hunter is a beast Eagle. He doesn’t lack physicality. I know the defense isn’t happy he isn’t in the linebacker room or even the defensive end room. Believe it or not, the coaches actually involve players like Hunter in the process. He wants to be on the offensive side and Beck is enjoying scheming for a player with speed and physicality. It…[Read more]

Yes and Whitt said today he has 4.4 speed which is amazing given his size. Should be a weapon.

I agree and disagree. I think there are probably available players out there who, if given 30 minutes a game, could get 16/12 also. I trust Jensen and staff to know who’s the better buy — KD or someone new.

Geez dude. Didn’t mean to get you so riled just by saying his D cold be better. A large majority, including me agree that he is #1 priority keeper. I would point out that having the highest defensive rankings on this squad is pretty low bar to clear. Relax, Im sure AJ will do the right thing. If KD doesn’t return, I’m sure it will because of…[Read more]

Wait wait… didn’t you hear?? His defense sucks so we should get rid of him… <rolls eyes>

Ok, I’m a little salty at the other thread. I can not express how deeply f’d this situation is. KD is priority number one, and while we can’t afford to overpay anyone, of all the individuals on this roster, he is one that we need to retain if we…[Read more]

100s or 1000s of energetic local fans creates a great atmosphere (as seen locally in Provo and Logan).

One single fan trying to make a difference stands out and can appear to some (not all) to be foolish but give the man credit for his effort.

If just a modest 1% of our student body were to show up and act like him every home game……

Really hope Alex (with help of NIL $$$$) can encourage Dawes to stay. Unfortunate that for some reason former Coach Smith didn’t give him the consistent minutes he deserved.

The whole latter part of this thread is patently ridiculous.
KD’s BPM for the game was 14.2, highest on the team for the day. His Game Score was 20.5, which was nearly double the next highest who were Lawson and Ezra at 11. His Defensive rating was the lowest (good) at 113, and his offensive rating was second highest at 166. He was 4 of 5 from 2…[Read more]

I was wondering about his jersey number. I just thought it was Vranes.

One thing working in our favor is KD grew up a Ute fan. Hopefully that will be enough to persuade him to stay.

The NIL/portal system will equalize soon and there will be more structure.

In the meantime, I have no contempt whatsoever for players who are trying to maximize what they can get in the small window of time they have to get it. The market forces working to take players from Utah will also benefit by bringing players to Utah. And if Utah is…[Read more]
