Having JJ, Cam hands it off instead of scrambles playing Baylor, not getting his finger cut/dislocation and keeps playing and we are 8-0. What if … I stepped on a butterfly ;). But we pay JJ and Cam leaves, so we have Rose handing off to JJ and they stack the box and our qb throws a lot of interceptions and we are 4-4…

He has redshirted. He has 2 years of eligibility including this one, so he has next year left and can’t redshirt this year (although if he had not already redshirted, he could have at this point in the season – it’s 4 games or less).

If I had to guess teams with above average NIL money, may find themselves struggling with this problem more than teams with less money to work with because of the locker room rifts the disparity of NIL money is causing.

Examples:

Utah
Oklahoma State
UCLA
Florida State
Arkansas
Iowa
Wisconsin
TCU

I call for an audit! Just kidding-

To answer your question DataUte, this would need to be a breakaway semi-pro league. I know that nobody wants that, but we are already there. We are a semi pro league living in anarchy. A semi-pro league with guidelines would be much better than what we have now.

NIL will ruin college sports, soon i will find other past times

How much is IW’s NIL deal for this season?

Who is going to do this? NCAA? no. But I could see this type of concept gain traction when the P2 break away and form their own governance and rules (read SEC and B1G meeting a couple weeks ago to discuss how to mutually benefit each conference).

True. But Utah offense needs the defense to pitch a shutout or at most 7 points. So it isn’t typical.

In my 41 years on this planet I have worked for the majority of them. I have worked in all sorts of situations and while they are not D1 college football nothing can upset a staff more than people stepping out of their lane to work on others p…[Read more]

I suppose so. Keep on trying!

It’s 4 games and the bowl game is a free. I have no idea if Huard still has a redshirt, but in theory he could play the rest of the season and still redshirt.

Sure you can say that. But if you’re only allowing 14 pts per game you should win almost every game.

Is it three or four games for redshirt. If three let him play BYU and go from there. He gets a win that could catapult his status for next year. Hope is our only hope.

Been a minute @Utahute72. Nice to see you posting in these trying times.

agreed there are deep issues. But like the Houston game…that would have shifted with even a minor nudge. Thinking we might have survived the ASU or TCU games isn’t a stretch.

Doesn’t mean we’d be a good team. Only that our D and a tiny bit more O would have shifted the outcomes of those two games. That being said…we are clearly suffering…[Read more]

Not with Rising or Huntley. Rose was the scout team qb and looked on highly favorably by teammates and fans. Rising made his fame on the scout team I think as well but coaches went with Brewer.

Scout teams are running plays that the defense can expect to as well? Sounds like a horrible way to evaluate a QB.

I would say if you are not the coach evaluating the QB room you probably don’t know anything about it.

I would hope the Defensive coaches would be focused on Barton’s deficiencies. I would say the cause of those points were because of his breakdowns.

If Huard plays in 4 games, does he still have availability for next year?

If so, he should get a shot. If he loses his last season of eligibility, that seems like a messed up thing to do to a player. I don’t think he’d do anything for his career by playing out the last 4 games of a burner season.
