I don’t care what scheme we run as long as it works. I hope I can’t sit in my seat at the stadium and tell what the next play is by which players are on the field and where they lineup. I hope Beck mixes things up enough that we stop being so damn predictable.

Kansas never led in the game while Utah had bright spots. To begin the year if I could see two wins I would have picked the Y and Kansas who was #1 for the first month of the season. Sadly, if we just had Carlson or a 5 that can score we would be just fine this year. Thankfully, we were treated to a very entertaining game tonight. Lovering was…[Read more]

Speaking of Lovering, how is it possible to be that bad at free throws? He looks like he’s never actually shot one before when he’s at the line. Does Smith just not care and make Lovering or the team practice them?

Lovering made life hard for Dickinson. Good team win!

Cool. Then I look forward to all of these new plays Beck has in his arsenal that no other offensive coordinator in the history of football has thought of before.

A playbook with some of the same plays does not make it the same playbook.

Will the game be televised? Somewhere anyone can access?

Why do you think Beck will have a different playbooK? Ludwig claimed to have over 1,000 plays in his book. And with the availability of film on every team, I don’t really think that there is a whole lot of “new” to be found.

I’m of the opinion that all coordinators are drawing from the same well. Each coordinator has different ways of dressing…[Read more]

Why do you think the playbook will largely be the same for Beck?

I hope he will have the freedom to implement his own system.

You are not alone friend.

I’m there with you.

I’ll take the basketball national title. That’s an easy call.

Out of an elite football or elite basketball program, I’ll again take basketball.

They ran RPO schemes under Ludwig.,,

The overall playbook will be the same for Beck. Where there will be a difference is in the sequencing of calls and hopefully a “dumbing down” of the reads to allow the new QB the ability to take advantage of his athleticism. I’d also like to see a lot less predictability between personnel packages,…[Read more]

Bowl wins, no question. Combining the Rose Bowl games with the BB titles in your scenario, I would still choose the Fiesta and Sugar bowl wins. Football > BB all day. That said, my interest in college football continues to fizzle.

CBB just isn’t nearly as important to me as it once was. I really do not care. I haven’t even watched the national championship game (or much march madness at all) since the last time the Utes were in the tourney.

At this point, I’d trade a single Big12 football championship for that win over Kentucky because that was nearly 30 years ago now, and…[Read more]

Bowl wins. They completely changed the course of the university, not only for football, but all athletics and even most everything else. Increase in interest in the school and applications, huge infrastructure investment, etc.

Since Utah has an NCAA championship and an NIT championship in basketball, I would keep the bowl wins. However, I would trade them for a legitimate NCAA football championship.

Nice one.

I’ll keep the bowl wins.

Would you rather have an elite football or basketball program?
I’ll take football.

Would you rather have an elite academic university or a university with elite athletics?
I’ll take the academics.
