spit take

Barring an injury deluge, there’s really only ever been 4 games to worry about on the schedule: OSU, Arizona, Iowa State and uCF. Split those and you’ve got 10-2. Add in one game where nothing goes right and that’s how I got to 9-3.

If you put me in the patented figure-four leg lock and forced me to make a prediction, I think Utah does no…[Read more]

just another bunch of cases of the man keeping a brutha down

I think it went a little more towards WSU and OSU not wanting to pay for home games with half empty stadiums but at the end of the day they are doing what was done to them so the reasons don’t really matter.

You mean it wasn’t planned for Gilman to bite on the fake TE block twice so that it could turn in to TD’s? Damn, I thought Scalley had come up something new 🙂

I have no doubt he got a good deal. But you don’t switch from being the starter on a team many are saying is a shoe-in for the playoff to a one year deal unless you think that check is the last one you are going to get.

The chances of his making the league were at least as good if he stayed where he was at as moving on which is why I don’t think…[Read more]

Jordan Wilmore

Pac-2 starting off the season 5-1 with a couple of P4 scalps. Good for them although they can’t complain about being done dirty anymore after raiding the MWC.

Ritchie was playing at the end. Did I miss him getting dinged up? Other than when the ref took him out.,, hee-hee

– Davis is a concern.
– Mitchell will probably be a weekly issue like Jackson in 2023.
– Someone said Bernard was just cramping and he came back strong in the 2nd half.
– I don’t remember seeing Pepa
– No clue on…[Read more]

For me it’s definitely an over-reaction but I said 9-3 months ago and haven’t seen anything to tell me different either way.

If the expectation was that Utah would dominate in all facets in every game, that’s on you. Georgia has been the best team for the last 3 years and their fans are disappointed at least half of the time.

Only advice I can…[Read more]

I can’t speak to how many are quitting but we discussed the logjam at RB and QB ad nauseum a couple of years ago. The QB transfers already happened but that RB room is still overcrowded with kids in essentially the same class.

The Tavion situation was bad enough that Bernard entered the portal and kicked the tires on playing for Deion before…[Read more]

90% of my posts need to have an implied passive-aggressive smiley at the end. I was just making fun of the “if such and such happened differently the outcome would have been exactly what I wanted to happen.,,” trope, not you specifically. Unfortunately I’m not smart enough to make the posts not sound like I’m arguing

mea culpa

Utah pass is what is now called a tunnel screen

I’m on the same page but feel like it’s a mutual decision. Mitchell and Stanley have passed him up, there’s probably still bad feelings about the way the Tavion situation was handled (wasn’t Glover the one Thomas punched at practice?), and both sides have decided to part ways.

wrong Glover. Rayshawn is the punt returner. JC transfer

do I get to take away two great Utah plays to make the comparison fair? what if I take away the Snowden pick and give Utah State that TD, as well as the long Bernard run?

Something definitely needs to happen with the secondary. I thought it would be a weak spot with so many new starters and now two corners are down? The next two weeks are going to be tough. After that, I’m not sure Utah faces any QB’s that can really take advantage but the margin for error is pretty much gone.

Utah State didn’t run anything the…[Read more]

so you’re saying he can’t even break wind?

Sure. But part of the problem the defense had is playing a QB with intimate knowledge of their tendencies and abilities who wasn’t afraid of challenging their corners.

Getting the plays called quickly knowing that Scalley would try to wait until the last second? Knowing which defenders to challenge and when? Barnes was able to take advantage…[Read more]

Now who’s nitpicking? The Kuithe throw is a TD if Wilson doesn’t take two extra steps and throw late. The defender got both hands on the ball and Kuithe was able to get a hand in there to knock it loose. How is that not a potential pick?

I don’t have a problem with the Ryan TD. That may be the most difficult throw in football.
