7 conference games left. Just win baby.

Where’s the overreaction? You think UTah, given its current circumstances, would be up 23-14 on Bama at halftime? Everyone of those teams that he mentioned have been killing it or, at least, looking better than Utah without Rising.

Talk about a massive over reaction

You know, I hope I’m wrong about this, but as I was driving home from last Saturday night’s game, the feeling that I had was that Utah got found out. Once again we were in the Top 10 and once again we were playing in front of a national audience and once again we crapped the bed. This is just me, and I could obviously be completely wrong, but I…[Read more]

There’s a lot of historical revisionism going on here with this issue. Whitt played mind games all of last season having Cam take up 1st team reps and calling his participation a game-time decision until November rolled around. I know I will be downvoted for this, but I’ve never seen a QB room as badly managed in 50 years of being a football fan…[Read more]

So I guess Utah is shit out of luck winning anything once Rising leaves? That’s flawed logic for the simple reason that the past doesn’t always predict the future. In addition, this version of Rising is not the same version that won those two CCGs.

I’ve said this a few times already. Given the current circumstances, Utah’s best move after the 2023 Rose Bowl would have been to part company with Rising. That’s hindsight but, if I was Whitt and I knew the full extent of his injury, and I can’t imagine he didn’t, that’s exactly what I would have done. Doing so would have opened the QB1 spot…[Read more]

It’s one game. I was as disappointed as anyone but JFC, guys. We went from 4-0 and #10 in the nation to suddenly being pedestrian and our program is Indiana? It’s the perfect time for the team to have a bye week. Get rested. Get healthier. Ludwig drives me nuts like the rest of us but I have to imagine many adjustments and rippings from Whitt…[Read more]

Blaming the defense when it gives up 23 points is laughable.

Hell no. If I’m Whitt, I open practice back up and stop with these injury nonsense.

If we can all watch practice, we know that Cam isn’t ready last year. And Whitt gets questions and has to have accountability as to why he is giving Cam reps when he isn’t ready. And maybe because Whitt has to be accountable, he gives Barnes/Johnson more reps and…[Read more]

I agree but also, fan police: weee ooooh, weeee ooooh.

I see what you’re saying. Of course you keep Cam, but for every returning starter you bring back you’re missing out on portal transfers.

“I do not believe he has (2023) or is (2024) intentionally deceiving or lying about Cam’s status.”

Whitt said Cam was a gametime decision for last year’s opener.

You’re right.

Utah is 2 for 2 when playing for P4 conference championships with Cam Rising at QB.

Utah is 0 for 12 when playing for P4 conference championships without Cam Rising at QB.

The solution is simple. If we want to win a conference championship, we need Cam Rising at QB.

Win now is typically any program’s goal. A coach doesn’t have time and tolerance on his side.

Add to this taking the next step of CFP, the small and fleeting window of P2 opportunity and talent and experience on both sides of the ball, we have been in win now mode ever since that 2nd Rose Bowl.

Cam Rising gave us the best chance to win and max…[Read more]
