Problem on offense and defense is the same tonight. Letting the other team play their game. We are timid on both sides of the ball. Afraid to shoot on offense. Afraid to attack on defense.

Anybody over Becker is an improvement in my eyes. I’ll always be thankful for the big fg against USC, but he was beyond unreliable this past season.

It’s hard to have faith in a kicker until they prove it in games.

Becker was supposed to fix the problems with FG and kickoffs, got hurt 4 games in, and both were a problem for two more seasons. Matt Gay didn’t win the job out of fall camp in 2017 and then made 30 of 34 after Chayden Johnston missed the first try of the season.

Is it too late to trade Wilson for Rose? Really liked what we saw from Rose, would prefer him back.

Becker was only 75% on FGs last year with a long of 48 yards. From what I’ve seen, Curtis can easily match that percentage and will likely beat it. He also has a much stronger leg than Becker. At a minimum, I expect our kicking game to be at least as good as last year, if not better.

We might, but I’m pretty faithful in Dillon Curtis. He seems really promising.

Keep Rose if he wants to come back as a PWO to play TE or LB, maybe he can focus on getting a college degree which seems to be the last thing on some of these players minds these days. I get there’s probably a large number of players in the TP cut loose by their institution. Beck’s got his guys. Good hell, Utah can’t go right back to where they…[Read more]

I’ll add getting back a healthy K. Johnson and T. Fotu getting his JC year back would be very helpful as well.

It seems evident that the players in the Rose camp were correct. LOL

I like Rose and appreciate that he stayed after last season. However, with everyone we have in the QB room now, and Johnson as an emergency QB – I would not waste a roster spot on Rose. He is not good enough for that now that we have rebuilt to QB room.

His injury will not allow him to play in spring ball, so that works against him right now.…[Read more]

He’s in a tough spot. Maybe a game’s worth of so-so film over 3 years, coming off an injury that affects mobility. I would guess that if he hasn’t already been picked up somewhere, his only options may be at the FCS level.

Faison has not officially signed or “committed” anywhere, although he has been impressed with Alabama’s facility during his visit. Utah has always been an appealing destination for RBs, a 1-2 punch featuring Parker and Faison would be very fun to watch!

At this point, I’m expecting some WR transfers out in the spring. Right now, Utah has a lot of WR who are coming in with the appeal of available playing time. But at spring practice some are going to stand out and others will fall behind. And there’s no way to get all of them the opportunity they want

Z Williams, Zip, D Washington, Buchanan,…[Read more]

I hope we pick up some more talent for the OL and DL. Improve and dominate in the trenches.

Appears that he is FR transfer from WY. 3-star (85) out of Paetow HW in Katy, TX. 6-1, 192 was also a triple jumper in track and field (11.93 100 is not very fast). Was used sparingly at WY (17 receptions, 204 yards, 3 TD) with best game vs Boise St. (4/82/1 with a 63 yard reception). So, appears he’s a depth play but maybe an athlete or could be…[Read more]

Here’s more about him.

So, best case 10th, worst case 15th? At least not last as we were picked preseason 😉

Cue the boobirds of a G5 transfer.

Signed.
