If you spend time with a football team thru practice and all, you can realize a well prepared very disciplined and well coached team can face a talented team, see things unexpected, get out quicked while thinking, fail to fully mesh new players back into the lineup, have bad breaks, or in the moment get beat. A poor team can look good one day…[Read more]

You have to work at it because watching football is awesome. Even if you are emotionally involved. I was once where you are but no more. It may be too late for you to play or know a player but if you did you would know how difficult it is to not make mistakes. Try coaching football, even kids, and you discover even with everything done as…[Read more]

I would be happy if they would quit allowing the OL to hold an arm around the neck of the DL from behind. Why is that so difficult to see? Falling on top of someone away from the play and laying on them for 5 seconds is also easy to see. If you go back and look at the replays on the two calls on our TEs and compare it to the often close lines…[Read more]

Where is the Ute Hub tailgate again?

I was there for the AF game but missed the Ariz game you mentioned. The US Army joined me that year and I had to hear about the Ariz game in boot camp.

If you don’t understand you can loose a football game even with a very good team, well lay on the floor and kick your feet. I suppose every team that has a lose now should just give up because there is no reason to believe anything is ever determined after mid September.

For others, enjoy a season of football, hope for the best and live thru the…[Read more]

Doesn’t matter much what the defense is, most important is to keep USC guessing. However, the Y had success simply keeping the secondary crowded. Have to expect USC has considered problems from last week. If they go to quick short passing, utes give a 4 man rush with crowded short zones. But USC is arrogant and will try to go long on the outside.

Offense, Moss like we have seen before vs USC, but there will be other positive surprises.

Defense, JJ will need to lead the way to stopping WRs along the sideline because the jittery QB will be afraid of the middle of the field.

ST, Covey is not quite ready unless the brace is off his knee. Punter will be fine but not used much. So it has to…[Read more]

Some of the media can’t understand, some can. The reason for that is many in the local media are Y fans. That means they can’t process doing just what is needed to win, they would be doing everything they can, every moment, trying to chase every possible statistic. They even believe Utah ran out of gas on the last drive at the Y and took a…[Read more]

I agree

I agree with Saban, he supports 10 conference games for P5 schools and P5s playing P5s. I think after the conference games, 1 G5 game should be allowed leaving 1 or 2 out-of-conference P5 opponents that can be played. If that was done, the inventory of P5 college football games would be greatly improved. The occurrence of undefeated teams would…[Read more]

I was responsible for a group that received and returned high costs, time sensitive orders over the internet without a backup methodology for an energy company. Someone caught me in the hall and asked what do we do with the internet down. Surprised, I asked what do the two ISPs have to say. They replied, no not the ISPs, the entire internet is…[Read more]

Half the teams above us have a load of 3 star folks that would be happy to instead upgrade to Utah. Average rating is more useful than sum of ratings. So many of the good recruits come to us at the end. There are the occasional early recruit like Tuttle, however Utah’s class really does not come together until November and December. And yes,…[Read more]

Best parking spot is near the most convenient Trax stop. Hands down.

New QB could be an upgrade. Very good first game.

I think they have peaked. No reason they would do better than Utah or TCU. They are a very good team however.

If I understand Ludwig, we will count the guys in the box, look at how they line up and then attack the least protected part of the defense. If they want to force us to pass, it will happen.

I’m with you, no blue during football season and ignore goofy Y fans on I-15 and walking in.

This isn’t just crazy talk. UCLA will always be the cross town rival. Dotre Dame will always be a huge national matchup. Still, USC needs to consistently chase the southern division title, required for a successful season. Utah just may become the biggest obstacle in that effort. But it takes a number of years to be remembered as team that…[Read more]

Lander could be the best of the Barton clan.
