I love that BYU fans are focusing their future hopes on Whitt retiring. I especially love that they think our recruiting hinges on Whitt’s presence. Yes, his presence is a plus, but Whitt is much closer to being our worst recruiter than our best. He has a damn good eye for talent, but that has nothing to do with us getting instate recruits over…[Read more]

Unless someone gets hurt, Tarlac won’t be playing much. We have Carlson, the Colorado transfer, Carlson jr, and Keita… When is Tarlac supposed to play?

We don’t have any real stars on this team (BC is close, but not really a star IMO), but we do have quite a bit more depth than previous years. We also have at least 3 guys that can knock down…[Read more]

Utah has been doing a much better job lately of holding onto the instate talent. This kid has the right build to be an excellent safety or linebacker. I guess he was a multi-sport athlete. Seems like the next guy in the Weddle/Hansen/Bishop mold (along with Ritchie hopefully).

I was really happy with recruiting until the turkish kid got dinged with an NCAA violation. He was going to be good IMO.

I would not be super surprised to see this team in the mix for a tourney spot. Last year we were right there until all of our best guys got hurt. This year we have the same best guys, plus quite a bit more depth than last year,…[Read more]

Is he a good option? Not sure. He might be the best option we have at the moment, but I wouldn’t say good.

good heavens dude. Whitt is not the problem. Our offense was very good last year and the year before. The problem is a lack of players. Not just a lack of talented players, I mean a lack of bodies that are physically capable of playing the game of football.

I agree with you about the injuries. I have no problem with how this season is going. The only thing I have a problem with is the Coaches relying on Cam miraculously returning from injury to carry our offense.

Hell, even the idea of them relying on Jackson to carry the running game is silly… Much less so, but still.

Cam should not have been…[Read more]

I’m not asking for Slovis. I’m asking for someone with any confidence throwing a football and running an offense. We don’t have that right now. If the coaches thought Barnes was that guy, they need to be civilly committed.

It’s kinda fun, and it numbs the pain of the loss = worth it.

127 downvotes in one thread for disagreeing with OnlyU. I dare you to find a thread where someone has received more downvotes. Also, keep in mind this was in MAY when NOBODY is around here. If I had done the same thing during football season the downvotes would have been tripled.

I’m not playing the victim, I’m playing the guy who was right……[Read more]

ROFL, he probably thinks the team is cursed.

in Cam’s case he is choosing to not play while getting paid a ton of money. It’s hard to say how good Rose was when we don’t know how much better he was than Johnson or Barnes. He may very well be, but to not have an experienced option when they had to have known Cam would miss at least 4 games is a coaching travesty.

McDonald was a terrible judge of talent. Outside of Ty Jordan (I’m just assuming McDonald recruited him) all of the running backs he’s recruited have been massively overrated.

Ludwig’s coaching isn’t the issue with the offense. Injuries, and an over-reliance on Cam is the problem.

NJ played a decent game. There were several first-down throws dropped, and a TD got called back for a false start (maybe not called back, but we would have scored). WRs got their hands on balls, and did not catch them. OSU’s receivers caught…[Read more]

He threw as good as DJU (not saying a whole lot bc DJU sucks ballsack). The baffling thing was his refusal to just take off and run the damn ball.

LOL… So true. The injuries have been brutal. However, I was mostly referring to the offseason QB situation.

Pittman is hurt, but it was clear that he wasn’t going to change anything with our WRs. Who knows what happens next year, but I never said anything about that. We needed WR help immediately, and we chose to go after an abuser and a chronically injured underachiever with a good last name.

Generally speaking, athletes don’t perform anywhere near 100% until more than a year after ACL injuries.
