2008 National Champ

who is responsible for those things? Because all I heard all off season was that this was the most talented and deepest team ever on the hill and that there would be no drop off once the starters left the field

Based on what, his success at Weber where he was near the top of the toughest FCS conference every year?

I’d say it’s his right ankle based on the way he got rolled up on that first (2nd?) pass. Even the big Singer throw was to the wrong spot so he’s having dual issues between his plant leg and grip.

The red zone – how can we not have anything, anything worth running in the red zone – it’s amazing to me

didn’t you see the Kuithe wildcat on 2nd and 12? That was inspired play calling. Almost as good as flaring Rising out wide so that Charlie Vincent could fumble a different wildcat. Seems like Ludwig remembered that Matt Asiata was effec…[Read more]

I’m on sportsurge.net. chose the TVSPORTSLIVE. I’ve refreshed a couple of times in the first half but have no complaints. Just remember to close the popup tabs the first time you choose a stream since Google won’t let popup blockers work properly anymore.

cuz he’s the alpha and apparently worth an extra 20 points just by stepping on the field. sheesh, haven’t you read this board?

He’s got nothing. Can’t push off the back leg and still can’t throw. Get him out of there

which Fotu?

another is that Utah is really freaking bad at converting 3rd downs (33%) which is why there’s been so many 4th down attempts this year. get that number up into the 40’s and the offense will look a lot better, even though the playcalling won’t have changed noticeably.

I’m not trying to get you to 6-6 but after losing to the parochial school, Colorado and then Iowa State you think they’ll go across the country on a short holiday week and beat UCF? I suppose getting bowl eligible would be something to play for but you’d think the team would have packed it in at point

seems like only games played in Tempe, on a Friday night, in October, with the temps above 85 degrees at kickoff, when Utah is coming off a loss and a bye while ASU is coming off a home win would be relevant for the data set in question 🙂

Interesting. I’ve always thought of Whitt’s best defenses more like monster trucks that just slowly stomp the life out of the other teams while smashing every available surface beyond repair.

But it is definitely a thing of beauty when the D is flipping the field and scoring points on their own so I’ll cosign on Ferrari defense.

He came back because it was his best chance to get to the NFL. Playing at less than 100% doesn’t put anything better on tape than what he had shown pre-Penn State.

None of us knows how healthy Rising is. At the same time, let’s not pretend that his only motivation is to get Utah a championship or that he only plays because of his love for his…[Read more]

Ferrari offense against Baylor?

5 play 20 yard drive, Punt
4 play 56 yard, TD
1 play 3 yard drive after turnover, TD
10 play 74 drive, FG
5 play 30 yard drive, Punt
3 play 1 yard drive, Punt
Defensive TD on blocked kick

28 plays 184 yards with Rising at QB. 13 of 23 points earned by the defense.

It just feels, and felt at the time, so incredibly shortsighted. You’ve got a 7th year senior and an incoming freshman with the only thing in-between being a 3rd year player that the head coach told reporters multiple times the previous season had not learned the playbook.

And this coming off a 4 year gap where you got 2 starts out of the 5 HS…[Read more]
