I’m not a fan of any scenario that has Utah playing Oregon in the CCG. I can almost guarantee you that Lanning would not be calling off the dogs during that game.

A couple of things…Washington’s defense isn’t much better that USC’s. They’re currently ranked #100 in the FBS so Utah should have little to no problem moving the ball on them. Heck, I watched that ASU vs UW game, and the Sun Devils had no problem generating offense. So much so, that they actually outgained Washington 341 yards to 288 yards.…[Read more]

I Though we were talking about the NFL, not the XFL.

Good call. That’s also who I would take as well. Bigger than Williams, about as elusive, bigger arm…his problem is that he plays at a basketball school and doesn’t get anywhere near the press as Williams.

the only reason they kept Helton as long as they did was because they couldn’t afford the buyout.

Sounds like Utah during the last few years of the Coach K regime.

I don’t think that Riley’s job was ever at risk. This primarily because if USC fired him, they’d be on the hook to him to the tune of $88M. I know USC is rich, but they’re not that rich that they can swallow such a massive buyout. Just conjecture on my part, but what I think happened is that Riley finally saw with his own eyes that he was never…[Read more]

Probably not big enough for Scalley to essentially kiss goodbye to the Utah HC position when Whitt retires.

I’ve been monitoring this issue via USC blogs and YouTube channels and Jim Leonhard is the name that comes up most often in their wish list for a future USC DC. He’s currently a senior football analyst at Illinois, so he’s available. I guess the real question is if he wants to A. Move to LA to be a DC. or B. Would he rather hold out for an HC…[Read more]

No question about that.

That’s correct. The university doesn’t have anything to do with NIL. It’s purely a commercial enterprise between players and assorted sponsors.

USC is currently #119 in Total Defense in the FBS. It’ll be interesting to see if Grinch lands on his feet and where that is.

Tony, it looks like the Pick Em site is down.

Washington has looked beatable the last four games in a row. Eventually they’ll come a cropper. I’d hate to see them in the CFP versus Georgia. They’d get absolutely destroyed.

I hate to say this, but I think that he’s got something personal versus Utah.

Mediocre…#50 in the FBS. By way of context, Utah is #16.

All the pressure is on Washington. They need to continue to win to maintain their CFP hopes. One thing to note, they’re completely one-dimensional as their defense isn’t much better than USC’s. I mean, Washington is #100 in the FBS in Total Defense. Whatever the case, I think that if they meet Oregon in Vegas it won’t be pretty for them.

Yes, Utah is currently #93 in Total Offense.

I honestly think that Caleb and his team are going to pull a John Elway/Eli Manning and tell unattractive teams not to draft him. Whether that works or not, that’s a different story.

Answered my own question.
