Do we know when that moment was? Was that moment a good time to begin action in the portal? Prior to the Rose Bowl, I wonder if Cam was already leaning towards returning for another year. Possibly, due to draft predictions, Cam gave Whitt reason to feel he had a 2023 QB. I just think Whitt would have been looking at the portal if he felt Cam was…[Read more]

I have been paying attention to how often other schools in the conference, with more resources, much higher up the ladder of expectations of success, have completed national searches and brought in coaches at the top of disgruntled fan lists only to see them fall short of what Whitt is doing. I am very confident that Whitt’s time to go will be…[Read more]

I think we are in a pit of assumptions that can make us look like the blind men and the elephant. We are guessing what was known when. When did the doctors know the extent of the injury, before during or after? If and when the LA doctor had assessment that got all the way to Whitt? When was it apparent that Rising would miss 5 games? When was this…[Read more]

Both have earned my respect. If next year became the only option and they wanted to play, I don’t have an issue. Clearly, in development and recruiting we should never count on it.

I agree, Rising’s return is not likely. If it could happen I think it would be our best outcome. Because of that I understand why everyone is hopeful. Something has made Cam interested in practice and coaches consider the possibility. It could all be wishful thinking because it is such a good option. If that is not possible come this week I do…[Read more]

Bringing back an elite experienced QB will solve that problem. Next best, complete focus on the current QB options will greatly solve much of that problem. I expect we will upgrade to one of these two solutions coming out of the weekend. If Johnson’s playbook is no complete, we need to make sure there is plenty of TE options in the part he will…[Read more]

Secession starts in South Carolina again?

Cam, much like other seasoned elite QBs, would make quite a difference. Not only the QB decisions and passes, but the RBs would look incrementally better, also the WRs, also the OL. I feel a basic football fundamental, for all positions defense and offense, is to create a second or two of making others expect A when you plan to do B. This is true…[Read more]

It is a wonderful thing that you can choose to give where you feel it is best. You probably would not be open to strangers telling you what you should do related to giving. Part of giving is freedom to support the cause you personally want to support. Some will choose to build a stadium, some will support a specific department at the university,…[Read more]

Seems all good. The wonderful thing is people with money actually get to do something that is of their choice. My guess most of those that contributed also give to many other causes and likely give more than those that question their choice. It is important that no one comes to expect giving from others.

It is all easy for me. My wife has been to many road games and bowl games in addition to home games. Her interest level is less than mine but does not ask stupid questions because we got those out of the way when my sons played little league and high school football. I have tickets to home games with my sons and often watch road games with friends…[Read more]

I am thinking Cam really wants to play this year. Currently, the best on ramp is the Cal game. I expect him to play even at the ready point he was at when he played at Oregon. He could take a game to get with it after being out, like last year, and the Cal game is the best on the schedule for that. The next several weeks, not at all as good for a…[Read more]

Loosing the kid from Turkey was sad, we could make it easier for foreign players to come in. Next, we really need to see Smith get the green light to play. With Smith I think we can take some steps this year. Bajema slayed us last year so it is great to have him on our side this year.

6’2″, 200+lbs, and smart is just the material Scalley wants to work with for safety. He can come in and start by learning form the best.

I think coaches are less risky with NJ when he is the only serviceable QB. I think we will see conservative play calling if there is no backup QB that has had reps. The bye week allows us to work on the team without a concern for preparing for an opponent. Hopefully, we have two weeks of practice for what will be game time QB1 and QB2. The same…[Read more]

Utah has their issues to overcome. However, USC has no reason to feel they will run the table. Oregon and Washington has their own challenges coming up with games they are favored in but can let slip like last year. All these teams have each other to play. No one can fax wins in they have to go out and play the games. Much like the last two years,…[Read more]

Unfortunately Kuithe and Rising need to speak for themselves otherwise anyone can fill the empty space with anything. Double unfortunately, it just is not the Utah thing to update everyone on injury return details. Will this downtime be an adventure or can it be a common bye week?

Do we know Cam lost the locker room? I get that many, including Cam, want him to shit or get off the pot. It may be possible for him to make everyone feel that way without losing them. However, everyone including Cam, I think, feel we would be better off with him on the field. But to your point, this can be the case at some point in time.

I don’t…[Read more]

Let me explain why I resist panic about the football team. I grew up in Provo and watched closely the BYU program from the 50s on in a big part because many of my family are fans of their program. I watched the Y achieve success beyond what became my choice at the U. Through all that success and with a very good coach, the Y fans struggled…[Read more]

Good grief. Last time to hear from Kuithe he had the bad cold that has been going around, the 10 day to 2 week thing that is awful. If I take him for his word I would expect the last thing the football team needs is anyone that is sick with the team.
