I liked the way he prepared for the game and venue that he was reporting on. He could describe information on the school, the venue and surrounding area, and coaches and players. When he was assigned to a Utah game, he would describe the wonderful mountains and surrounding area that the “U” campus was located on. Rest in peace Bill.

I thought they tried Miki Suguturaga once or twice last year on short yardage or goal line offense. I agree that there wasn’t anyone of the RBs that would be considered a strong short yardage guy, so if they can’t get someone in the portal, then maybe try one of the TE like Miki or Kuithe.

I think the Utes were improved this year and competitive. Not a good road team, otherwise we may have made the big dance with a few road wins and a better showing in the tournament.

I would like to see them play a few more games, and get a little extra experience for Keita and Lovering. Also, a the exposure for Carlson may help his pro…[Read more]

I remember the Air Force Academy football coach Fisher Deberry created a Hornets Nest when he stated they didn’t have enough black atheletes to compete with the other schools.

One troubling part of Keita’s play so far is his fumbling of some passes, like he doesn’t expect it. They are basically running plays for him that if he were more surehanded he would have at least 3 more baskets per game. He goes against taller opponents and gets doubled, but he has to be more tenacious and sticky fingered when a pass comes near…[Read more]

I agree about Smith getting the starting nod and the majority of the minutes. Its a bonus that Worster is a seasoned/experienced guard that provides a lot of depth. Keita has to get better at guarding without fouling, but as they keep getting better and feeding him down low, its hard to keep him out of the starting lineup.

I will be surprised…[Read more]

I went frugal on my last comcast renewal and don’t have the extra espn channels like espn+, news, U, so I will wait and hope that most games are on the basic channels. Darn, this change in conferences is affecting my pocketbook.

Great win! It looked like they were going to give it away in the last minute, but Keita made a great defensive play. It looked like the coaching staff has figured out offensive plays that utilize our size. Also, hope they keep up the same defensive effort going into pac12 play. Love that the Utes have ended the BYU winning streak and are…[Read more]

Yes, I think bottari, and Barnes, and all the players that help the team prepare for games, but may never see the field should have a special place in our hearts as Utah ute fans.

It was really great to see how proud bottari’s mom was, watching him get the start and playing so well.

My son, who lives in Seattle, is a Utah alum and supporter. He just texted me he is leaving his West Seattle condo for the game. Should be a lot of Seattle Ute alums. Hope they are all at the game giving the Utes loud support. Go Utes!!

I think our only chance is if Barnes shows another upgrade in performance after getting another live game under his belt and the full starter reps he is now getting. Also, the last game seemed to show a little better understanding of taking care of the ball and trying to eliminate turnovers. He still threw a couple of questionable passes last…[Read more]

Thanks for the responses! Very good information. But with the basic athletic goods that BB has (otherwise why recruit), why hasn’t Ludwig/qb coaches been able to see these shortcomings in things that can be improved, like reading the defense, looking off dbs, progression through the possible receivers, etc.?
