Bryson Barnes should get a chance in Fall camp to beat out Rose and Johnson. Probably a better choice than any we can get in the transfer portal.

Class of 60′! Good old West High. Some great years and experiences. Glad to see there are other West High alums on this board!
Hope Aden gets some playing time after that performance.

BleedsRedUte replied to the topic Faysel Aden TD run!! in the forum Football 1 year, 10 months ago
Aden is a local kid out of West High, my almamater. He actually looked pretty good and got quite a few reps. I was surprised because he is a Junior and I don’t think I have seen him in any game action, not even special teams for punts and kickoffs. So I thought they are probably just giving him some playing time for being a loyal benchwarmer.

thanks. Forgot about Star, Bolles, and Lloyd. Hope we are trending toward many more first rounders.

I was wondering if Kincaid bein projected by some analysts as the 17th pick, is possibly the highest draft pick since alex Smith out of Utah? Can’t remember any higher, but I don’t keep great track of this. Anyone know?

BleedsRedUte replied to the topic 2023 in the forum Football 2 years ago
Of course it would be great to improve all position groups, but I think the D line needs it the most. Last year there were some serious lapses in stopping the run (which is No. 1 for coach whitt). We could use a premium pass rush from the D line without need for blitzing linebackers and DBs. We need either the existing players to develop their…[Read more]

BleedsRedUte replied to the topic Johnson new Eagles OC in the forum Football 2 years ago
I know this has morphed into a Covey discussion, but have some thoughts about it.
I think Covey is a premium shifty runner, but lacks great speed that most punt returners seem to have.
But the plus that Covey showed over this last season is the sure hands and cool head to catch the ball in the pressure situation of punt returns. Muffed…[Read more]

BleedsRedUte replied to the topic Question for everyone in the forum Misc 2 years ago
As I have gotten older, most things don’t taste as good to me as they did when I was younger. I think the meds I take now are part of the cause.
I especially don’t enjoy beef, like a good steak, the same as before. I can’t sit down to a full steak dinner and enjoy eating it all. I look forward to dessert and other sweets more than before.…[Read more]

BleedsRedUte replied to the topic Perfect Storm in the forum Football 2 years, 4 months ago
It is hard to quantify Rising’s running vs rest of his game, but looking at his stats he has 308 yards total, with Thomas ahead of him with 414 yards and Glover behind with 229. Cam has 6 TDs and Thomas has 5, Glover 3. The 308 yards also helped get first downs, avoid sacks, and promote the offense down the field.
Cam has 15 TDs passing total,…[Read more]

With Barnes being able to hold down the fort, it may allow Rising to more fully heal if he can sit out the Arizona game, and the Stanford game if necessary. At least 50% of Rising’s game is his running ability. I fully understand sitting him out of the Wazzu game if he had any reservations at all.
The home games against Arizona and Stanford may…[Read more]

Why not just provide a link to the Utah Utes Sports official site. It has all the sports, schedules, rosters, stats, etc., that you could possibly want. You shouldn’t have to develope and add schedules that are readily available.

BleedsRedUte started the topic Utah kickers and coverage in the forum Football 2 years, 4 months ago
So how does Kyle solve the problem of short kickoffs and bad kickoff coverage (our kicker had to make the tackle in a recent game which probably saved a touchdown)?
I’m kind of miffed that the Utes can’t recruit a local kid that has a great leg, and can kick it out of the endzone easily, especially in rice-eccles at altitude.
As to the…[Read more]

BleedsRedUte started the topic Run Defense and Pass Rush in the forum Football 2 years, 5 months ago
After the UCLA loss I started looking at the current Ute roster to see what we had at Defensive tackle. I came across Simote Pepa who is listed at 6-3 tall and 354 lbs.. I checked out his highlight videos and saw he was quite impressive at stopping the run, and has the strength to bull rush the O-line and put pressure on the QB. This was High…[Read more]

BleedsRedUte started the topic D line play in the forum Football 2 years, 5 months ago
I’ve read most of the posts and agree with many of the things stated that need improving. I didn’t see anyone mention the lack of pressure on the QB with 4 down linemen, and more importantly allowing the QB to escape and make good gains.
This was a main reason for the loss at Florida. The defense had Florida in 3rd and long many times, and…[Read more]

So does this mean that there won’t be any leaked info for the Utah game and ASU will play great and make it a trap game that our Utes won’t be ready for?

Ok, I thought Thomas ended up with it in the endzone.

BleedsRedUte replied to the topic Someone needs to talk to Whitt about not slandering Ludwig in the forum Football 2 years, 6 months ago
If he fumbled the ball before being down, why isn’t the recovery in the endzone a touchdown? Sorry, I didn’t check what they specifically ruled on the play, just that it was not a touchdown.

BleedsRedUte started the topic Who will fill the position? in the forum Football 2 years, 7 months ago
Ahead of football media day and the start of Fall camp, I have been watching some of the game replays on PAC12 network, and am really appreciating what some players like Covey and Tafua brought to the team effort.
Covey has sure hands to secure the punt to start with. He was always a threat to take it all the way. He was tough, and could take a…[Read more] -
BleedsRedUte started the topic Rising Improvements in the forum Football 2 years, 11 months ago
I don’t see it discussed much, but I would think that coaches should work on Rising’s fundamentals in securing the football when he runs. It seemed like he lost the ball a number of times last year when hit, but was lucky very few resulted in turnovers. I’m afraid opposing teams see this on film and will concentrate on knocking the ball loose…[Read more]

Congrats to the team and coaches for a great year of entertaining football, capped off with the championship. Utah was one team that showed up big for our conference and gives it some credibility.
