There were parts of that game where JJ (aided by the O line) was the only offense Utah could muster. If nothing else he was keeping the D off of the field for a few fist downs.

Yeah, Barnes did not do well with the stunts and defenders in his face. He was always half a step slow and holding on to the ball too long. Also, Glover didn’t hold his blocks for Barnes long enough on a few plays, but I’m not a coach so that could have been on Barnes not getting the ball out quick enough? Nate looked much sharper when he was…[Read more]

Yep, the more experience we have in the 2 and 3 deep the better as the season wears on.

Hard to complain about a win on the road. Hopefully it helps with our future performance in conference road games.

Cam had to be given a chance to play to earn Whitt’s trust. How is it any different with any other QB? I don’t care if Barnes makes less mistakes in practice, Nate clearly has abilities that Barnes does not. I would rather loose while giving Nate experience and allowing him to grow mistakes and all, than watch another 3 quarters of what our…[Read more]

It will be interesting to see how things shake out once they have a few games of film on Colorado’s offense. If nothing else, I think game one shows that Colorado is dangerous and you had better take them seriously.

Well, I am crossing my fingers and hoping that Barnes makes me eat every single negative thing I have ever said about him in the past. If he shows up and leads us to victory I will gladly eat crow. On the other hand, if for some reason the offense bogs down under Barnes, I don’t really see any downside to giving some meaningful playing time to Johnson.

I think it depends on how far you are flying. If it’s regional around the west and through Denver airport then I think you will be fine. I have had good luck with Frontier on western united states flights (leaving and returning to SLC).

If you are going cross country the experience gets much worse. I used to have to fly to Boston on a somewhat…[Read more]

Barns couldn’t move the chains against Penn State and our offense collapsed. If you aren’t going to give the talent in you QB room a chance to develop then how do you ever expect them to get better?

Interesting. I think the Big 12 is going to have lots of parity and will probably be wide open to the top half of the conference teams year in and year out. Utah needs to get better at winning on the road, and if that happens then I like our chances. I think there are going to be very few automatic wins and the difference between a win and a…[Read more]

I’ve got to think that it will help with recruiting. The Big XII is probably the best basketball conference top to bottom. We may very well get hammered game in and game out for the next few years, but I think this move opens up doors that were shut in the PAC.

The Monty Show source was a call directly from someone at the University of Utah stating that they have received an invite and the official announcement would be tonight or tomorrow.

The only reason that the B1G was able to pull USC/UCLA and now Oregon/Washington goes back to the PAC12 not getting distribution on Direct TV and not willing to partner with a traditional sports media partner (ESPN/FOX Sports) in formation of the network. The current state of the PAC 12 dissolution goes directly back to those decisions.

I think…[Read more]
