Good point Eagle. I did note that Coach Whitt complimented his blitz protection Tuesday.

Actually, we need to give Whitt more credit. The last few years have been awful, no doubt. But I stop and ask: how many coaches have better overcome the numbers of injuries at the QB position? Very few of the top teams have quality QBs in the 2 and 3 spot. Very few keep running along starting the #4 or #5. We could do better at backup QBs but we…[Read more]

Physicality means he could potentially hold. I am talking about blocking. Film will start to exist and teams will quickly figure out when it is a cover type situation vs handoff.

It became like Kuithe in a lot of these direct snaps. An absolute gimmick joke.

Probably just my gun shy attitude on offensive philosophy at Utah.

If I had to guess, it’s probably both. Whitt’s offense seems to play to the players strengths, but not at the cost of risking turnovers or negative plays. I remember going from almost never having a fullback in 2021 to Logan Kendall committing padded homicide in 2022. I’d be interested in seeing how the offense changed from just one year to the…[Read more]

First glance his offers aren’t impressive.

Closer look, Texas St was #5 in D1 offense in 2024. They know how to score points. They know under the radar players that will score points in their scheme.

JB also knows what players will shine in his scheme.

This could be good.

Exact same archetype as Kuithe. I love it. Earning praise from Whitt as a freshman isn’t easily done.

Other news. Hunter Erickson is transferring to Hawaii for his final year. Best of luck to him. He should do well in the Big West.

Yeah, I think personnel was transformative.

Whether it was Rising getting us into the right play at LOS or his making a play with his legs when plays broke down or TT’s elite vision that transformed Whitt and Ludwig’s predictability and conservatism into something more.

Do we really believe that in 2021-2022 Whitt and Ludwig schemed and pla…[Read more]

Hooray!

Given he’ll very likely be starting and getting consistent minutes, will be a major contributor and an exciting part of next year’s team.

Yo! First player win of Coach Jensen and staff…and IMO it’s a big win.

Well done, excited for continued momentum and follow on success.

This is yuugeee

utezone’s practice report has me drinking the kool-aid again. I gotta stop

Yeah, we’ve seen this song and dance so many times before. “This time will be different.”

That said, we’ve had some recent years with good offenses. Not sure if the coaches deserve some credit or if all the credit goes to the players who may have just had the skills to mask the coaching deficiencies (Rising, Huntley, Kincaid, Moss, Covey, etc.).

No problem. It’s been a frustrating and long stretch of Utah BB mediocrity and fan forums is where we vent.

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)
