Furlong says he’s an assistant.

What a weird opinion to have about Whit. He’s been successful for 20 years and you just think he’s all the sudden a complete failure and incapable of reviving the program? Strange.

It’s fine with me, clearly we didn’t have much talent and I suspect the new OC is cleaning house.

Fortunately, this is the perfect year for this to happen considering this age of free agency that we are in. Beck will be able to bring in players that fit his system.

We’ll be just fine.

I think for Huard it is probably a reflection of OC. Otherwise doesn’t make sense

I just have to wonder what the decision process is for some of these players. For example, in my estimation, Utah was the last P4 chance for a guy like Huard, who’s already had opportunities and proven to be found wanting. My guess is that Huard goes back to some FCS program in a quest for some automatic playing time.

Agree, none of Utah’s QBs on the 2024 roster fit the player profile for Beck’s offense. Guessing Beck lands a couple QBs in the portal matched with Becks QB running scheme. Might see Becker also hit the portal being a pro-style QB. Either way, zero expectations for meaningful improvement with KW as head coach.

Rising is actually in a great spot. He may be the first ever million dollar backup in college football history. Imagine what Georgia would give right now to have Cam Rising coming in as an insurance policy heading into the playoffs. The boosters pay, he holds the clipboard and if your stud QB goes down you have a star level backup who you are…[Read more]

Which one? Walker Eget or Emmett Brown? San Jose State this season reminded me of FSU in the late 70s in the sense that they used two QBs extensively.

Roy, you have the play the hand you’re dealt. I’m not with the team so I have zero ability to affect the internal dynamics of Utah football. Given that, I can only continue to support the team and hope for the best. I do know beyond a shadow of a doubt that if next season is a repeat of this one, Whitt will be pushed out no matter his standing…[Read more]

Rising won’t survive in Beck’s true RPO offense. Dampier in 2024, 155 carry’s for 1,166 yards. In Rising’s few run plays, he looked a step slow. Small sample of work due to injuries of course. That said, we’ll likely see the KW, sabotaged version of Beck’s offense. 2025 is the KW rehab attempt tour and collecting his pay check.

Proud, I hope you are okay, you’ve been on quite the depressing streak lately. It’ll be fine. None of the transfers did anything noteworthy while here. None of them were going to make us better next year.

Worst case scenario is we fill our QB and RB rooms with guys that are equally shitty and we are in the same place we were this year.

Best case…[Read more]

The reality of the transfer portal: Players are going to leave, new players will come in to replace them. Only time will tell on how the change shakes out.

Honestly, with a change in OC and overall what type of offense we run, I actually have some hope that the defense won’t get hung out to dry for multiple games in 2025. Who knows what players are going to be running the offense at this point, but I at least feel good about making changes and doing something different. Maybe a 5 – 7 season has…[Read more]

I use to buy the $5 general admission ticket and sit in the North endzone on the wood bleachers. They had a little area of the asphalt, where Ron Mcbride would shake hands with the kids before games.

For the same reasons Scalley won’t leave. Religion my friend. Religion.

Regarding Rising, those are exactly my thoughts. His leverage is zero. If he’s healthy, or as healthy as he can possibly be, then he’d make a decent veteran backup. However, that’s also dependent on what offense Beck installs. I do hope that you’re correct about Dampier.

Wide open for a top transfer to come in and get reps.

I’m not worried. I think we’ll get a good qb transfer, a grad transfer backup, and the two incoming guys. Four is plenty 😉

Same equation for Rb. We have Mitchell (so far) and I have this feeling that woods isn’t going to find a better deal or situation. I guess that’s assuming he doesn’t…[Read more]
