Ja’Quiden had himself a game last night.

[Larry B]

101 yards on 8 carries with 2 TD. Sad to see him go but glad he’s having success so far.

[Utesbyfive]

Arkansas scored touchdowns on their first ten offensive possessions.

Yep, ten.

[Yergensen]

JJ was a loss for us, don’t know that we can replace his physicality combined with big play ability. We’d be even better with him.

[ColumbiaUte]

I’d argue he was the biggest loss for us in the transfer portal era. We have had a lot of players leave but most were never going to see the field or were not high production players.

[cj13]

With Keenan’s injury last night it is looking like it might be Jatravis Broughton as the biggest loss

[ProudUte]

I agree that I hope he does well. He played great last night getting 12.5 yards per carry.

Of the guys who left via the portal, the only one that really concerned me was Jackson. I don’t understand why he left. We gave him the opportunity to move to RB, and he would have been our lead back this year.

I hope to see him in the NFL next year.

[Utesbyfive]

I think he may have just had a lot of bad memories of Ty and Aaron, and wanted to be back in the part of the country he grew up in. I don’t think it was a huge mystery.

[Caliman]

Good riddance! As far as I’m concerned, you’re either a Utah Ute or you’re not. If you’re not in 100%, than leave the spot to someone who wants to be here, none of that premodona BS.

[PNW Ute]

“premodona”?

To quote Ted Lasso, “It’s prima donna. Who the f*ck says “pre-Madonna”? What the f*ck does that even mean?”

[Caliman]

OK SOOB.

[HATUman]

As Coach Whitt says, “All in or in the way”. Why are we even tracking this kid? Yeah, he was a Ute, but he willingly gave that up of his own volition. I wish him nothing.

[22Ute22]

Dang, you guys are hating on him for no reason. He gave so much to Utah and he was great friends with TJ and AL. Yes, he left because of NIL money, but it was to provide for his family. How many of you, if you and your family were poor, would give up a job opportunity in which you would double your salary and lower your commute time? NONE OF YOU. I hope JJ has a good season at Arkansas and softens up Oklahoma State for us.

[Caliman]

He had all the attention at Utah, and that was not enough for him; so yeah, who cares where He goes, or how good He’s doing somewhere else. I want to know how The Utes are doing, not how an ungrateful superstar wanna be is doing somewhere else.

[UteNamedOg]

With all of the sh*t he went through, and how he handled it so well, I hope nothing but the best for him.

[Caliman]

He didn’t handle it well, He transferred out for no reason.

[Central Coast Ute]

This is some BS and very zoobish right here. He came here to play with Ty Jordan. Jordan died before Jackson made it to SLC, and he still came. Jackson put everything he had into last season and played injured in almost every game. He got close with Aaron Lowe, who also died. He handled all of that as well as can be expected. My understanding is that Arkansas also offered him more money. To say he left for no reason or didn’t handle adversity well is downright stupid. I hope he does well and has a long football career. I will be cheering for the young man regardless of who he plays for.

[22Ute22]

No reason? He transferred out because Utah didn’t match Arkansas’ NIL offer. Had Utah done so, he most likely would have stayed.

[chinngiskhaan]

That’s great. I hope he has a great year. He deserves it. That being said, I don’t think this game is an indicator of future success.

[2008 National Champ]

He gets Oklahoma State next week. Wouldn’t bother me a bit to see him go off and expose some weak points in their D
