2008 National Champ

Is that the language? I seem to remember his last deal being that rate for all years left on his contract but I’m not remembering a specific time limit after he steps down.

We’ve seen Bernard have big games before and then get hurt the following week or go back to a reduced workload.

There isn’t anyone on here that doesn’t want Bernard to take over as RB1 and be the next great Utah back. It’s just hard to count on it at this point.

The video was exactly what @Rick Walker was referring to. I assumed you were unaware based on your response but perhaps you were being deliberately obtuse

It’s a C. Don’t focus on the score. It was a typical 2nd game of the season where some things worked, some didn’t.
Baylor is a team that is expected to struggle to get to .500 this year and the game was never in doubt so Utah did what they were expected to.

Now if we want to talk about someone from that game that should get an A+++++.,, man…[Read more]

the problem wasn’t the plays that were called for Wilson, or also Rising after the made field goal, it was the setup. the first 10-15 scripted plays all included formation shifts, motion and misdirection. After that it was just lineup and run the called play. At some point you have to try to either fool the other guy or at least make them think…[Read more]

it was a shovel pass so Rising got the stats ala Alex Smith

It certainly shows the importance of actually playing the games instead of letting the talking heads and blogs decide the fates before a single snap has occurred.

man, I hate to tell you that South Bend is in Indiana

early entrant for post of the year ^^^

to be fair, those long runs came after he had started the thread.

Tony really needs to create a forum for people who feel the need to point on the doll where Lavell touched them.

If you wouldn’t take advice from those people, why do you care about their criticisms?

I am. From the red zone stop on, Baylor was shutting down Utah’s O even with Rising in the game. Other than that 5 minute stretch where Utah scored, then got the ball at the 5 from the strip sack, Baylor’s D played really well.

I don’t believe he did but maybe he came in on a play where he didn’t get the ball. Vincent got some run so you’d think Glover would have been in there at some point.

not serious? so we should expect him to get QB1 reps but not be cleared to play on a week to week basis?

I kid

contract the playbook, run what he is comfortable with and depend on the other 10 guys on the field. the last thing you want to do is overwhelm the kid by expecting him to have a 7th year QB’s knowledge of the playbook.

We’re now comparing Wilson to Caleb Williams?

Williams freshman year he got some garbage time reps game 2 against FCS. Threw one pass game 5, then took over when Rattler was ineffective game 6 against Texas. The fact that Williams succeeded when so many else would have failed in the same situation is why he was the top rated QB in his class and…[Read more]

He’s under a ton of pressure and it has nothing to do with the pass rush.

I’d rather be playing at Utah State instead of the projected QB3 or QB4 at Utah. Because I would have been of the mindset that I had proven that I could play at a P4 level. But that’s just me trying to put myself in his shoes.

Fan talk to the contrary, these kids want to play. And Barnes had played, and won games for Utah. Why would he want…[Read more]

Let’s be fair. Trevor Lawrence was the most prepared HS QB this century and he wasn’t ready to be the starter day 1. Utah played a 5 star for UCLA last year that also proved he wasn’t ready. The expectation that Wilson – who was around the 15th highest rated in last year’s class – would be is more pressure than should be placed on the kid’s…[Read more]
