I think OSU read our mind about wanting to run the ball in the 4th. They went to an 8 man box, several sets were 4,4 where it looked like a line of 4 LBs right behind the DL. Safeties creeping up. OSU defended for run, we did have a 9 yard run but the rest went nowhere. I think we wanted to assure the clock kept running. The solution would be…[Read more]

Lot’s of assumptions here. No reason to assume PC has been promised something, not seen anything like that in the Utah program. One thing I know for certain, HS parents are absolutely the very worst source for information. Compared to paid recruiting services and Utah evaluations, this info is useless. There is no reason to make assumptions…[Read more]

They will not change the north champ playing the south champ determined by tie breakers. That will never change just because the two best teams are in the same division, and should not. Down the line, anything can happen. I expect adjustments if two teams have already played to provide new opponents. The ‘official game’ will be the title game.…[Read more]

Nice to know Costelli is working for us. Alexander would be awesome. I wonder if Costelli can work some majic on some OL prospects as well? He has a good setup for RBs and TEs. Costelli is the key to this class.

I don’t think CC could beat any team in the Pac. I think any of the Y’s teams the last 10 years could easily be undefeated with the schedule this year. The previous QBs would also have a heyday if they stepped out of their tougher schedules to play this one. This includes the MWC years. There is no Utah or TCU to deal with. This is a big step…[Read more]

I have been anxious for more WR commits. Cope is an upgrade over Nathan, taller and better offer list, but I would like to see another WR. Still Cope is a very good thing.

Actually, I am very interested in seeing the new additions. I expect Martinez to be big help to Plummer on the outside. Larsson should be more experienced than his freshman status. Don’t know what to expect from Kellier and Wenzel. Lahat and Jones are bigger. Allen has been working on his jump shot and can see some time at the backup point,…[Read more]

Lot’s of discussion about the last 10 years but Ludwig is only responsible for 1 full recruiting year so far. So far he has done about as well as expected giving us QB options. If you can do better, contact Whitt. We don’t need to revisit OCs from the past.

We have not had 10 full years in the Pac yet but have been moving ahead of typical and…[Read more]

Question is which half if the best predictor for either team? I do believe we are not yet a good enough team to roll on despite TOs. I do see encouraging things from new players. In the past, even our best players were not consistent in their first games especially as true freshmen. I hope to see us settle in before we are all done this year.…[Read more]

The pre fall depth chart had starters that were not playing. Much of the OL went thru 10 days quarantine. If you have coached even little league you know an OL needs to practice and play a game as a unit. Until then and as folks come and go, you won’t see them play good in competitive games. We can accept the brutal facts of our current…[Read more]

It’s football. Not everything goes your way. Not everything goes as expected. If you can’t take the disappointment of a couple of losses while standing there watching others work hard, you really should find something else to do. I recommend checkers, if still not winning enough, find younger opponents. The explanations will be beyond your…[Read more]

I agree, on that play my son was screaming for Utah to check out of the blitz. We need to be much better disguising the blitz or it will simply work against us. Bentley needs to slid feet first much more. Even more, not fight for yards when someone has your feet, that isn’t always wise for a RB never for a QB. Clark was outside, this week…[Read more]

I do know Whitt has said 4th down is his decision. I have noted most coaches are conserative with a lead, Whitt also highly dislikes TOs, I expect that is keen when trying to hold a lead. We pick up a first down after Washington’s last TO and the discussion today is completely different, it is that close. With a young team is is difficult that…[Read more]

Hate to say this but listening to Beth makes me feel like my wife is talking about something not football related as I watch a game. I am sure she is a wonderful person but I can imagine there are topics she would not like to hear me discuss for hours.

I think Washington is the second best team in the North. That places them in the top third of the conference. Games in the top third have most often been hard to win so I expect Washington to be difficult. Utah has yet to show us we are in that top third, we could be but have not shown it yet. If Washington is merely something between Az and…[Read more]
