There’s no need to knock on Bryson in order to be excited about Nate’s future.

I think Bryson is better than what he showed against Baylor. It’s unlikely he’ll ever get another chance to show that to us Ute fans though. It’ll be a tough way to end a football career, if that’s how things go.

No need to pile on a kid for pursuing his dreams but…[Read more]

All the hype is just going to make it that much more fun when they come crashing back down to earth.

It’s kind of like the schadenfreude we get to enjoy each and every year with YBU.

Now that I think think about it, maybe this makes Colorado finally our real rival.

Tony – I’ve been trying to learn some web coding myself and now I’m getting a whole new appreciation for what you’ve created here. It’s extremely impressive that you’ve done all this on the side and that you went through so much work just to give us Ute fans a place to talk. Thanks!

Last night’s game was the first time I’ve seen Colorado and the thing that surprised me most was how often Shedeur got tackled in open space by a single defender. He’s clearly still a good runner but I was shocked at how many times he appeared easy to tackle.

I brought up the comparison because I thought it was interesting.

It’s a good point about the competitiveness and confidence. It doesn’t seem like the moment is ever going to be too big for Nate – just like Huntley. Along with Barnes other shortcomings, it seems like he was also just flat out folding under the pressure.

I’ve also always thought…[Read more]

I also don’t recall Huntley being as good at making defenders miss as Nate when running. He was fast on his feet but I don’t remember him being super shifty. Am I misremembering?

I know it’s a small sample size but I’m feeling confident in saying Nate might be one of the more elusive running qbs we’ve ever had.

I’m also 100% confident Nate is…[Read more]

Meh, we’re a defense oriented program and always will be with Kyle.

I know other fan bases like trying to complain that it’s boring to watch a team that focuses on defense and a ground-and-pound offense but that’s only because their teams can’t do it. When it’s your team that’s slowly choking away the other team’s will to live through stifling…[Read more]

I am out of state and have to watch all my games on t.v. It really destroys the opportunity to witness exceptional corner back play. When Phillips is locking receivers up and preventing them from even getting targeted, he almost never shows up on the screen.

I’d really like to be able to say I’m too mature for this type of humor but I’m not. That was hilarious.

Made me pretty sick to my stomach to see Cam’s arm shout shoot out like that and him go floppy. He was obviously knocked out.

It would have been a shutout for the defense too if it weren’t for the offense turning it over.

I don’t know…coming up with beaver jokes sounds like a lot of dam work.

Leach should be calling out his defensive backfield first and foremost. Huntley and the receivers made them look completely lost all night.

I’m feeling confident about the game. The moment got too big for the Utes last week. They don’t handle high expectations well. Never have.

But that’s all over now. Tomorrow they’ll get back to playing smart, hard-nosed football again.

This is how I feel too. The loss was incredibly hard to take but I think the rest of the season is going to be a lot more enjoyable for me now that my expectations have been reset.
