Anybody know who this “football insider” is? And is there any truth to this claim? Would be awesome, if true.

4-star. Sorry about the typo. Can’t edit the heading.

Super excited about this commit. Get top rated Oline commits is difficult. Huge commit for Utah!

And Lander Barton is a On3 5-star recruit. But, yes, a consensus (all recruiting sites) 5-star recruit Utah has never had.

Kuithe was out. Solomon Enis was out. Both are very good run blockers. Also, Oregon State was selling out to stop the run.

Good news is that Ludwig with Rising were able to be effective with what OSU was giving them – good thing the offense can go to Plan B, Plan C, Plan D, etc. Bad news (Plan B/C, etc.) is that Rising doing the most effective…[Read more]

“Hope Jaquinden is the surprise.”

Hmmm… maybe so.

He said there will be a surprise for everyone as far as RBs are concerned in the game this Saturday.

My guess: Use The Rhino as a fullback on short yardage situations.

I was there too last Saturday too. Brings tears to my eyes, man.

I am also a bit of a UF fan for some reason. Always liked their uniforms.

Me too. Although I am a bit hesitant to be a UF fan based on the many reports I have read about how some of our fans were treated poorly while at The Swamp. However, I don’t want to paint with a wide brush and make too many negative conclusions about a small minority of…[Read more]

Some of it was defenders not playing their position correctly. See this on Diabate, where he crashes into the OLine, and Reid has to chase down the QB, where Diabate should have been.

How many times did we see this? An overeager Diabate (3) fills the other LB's hole chasing a tackle instead of staying home for the cutback. He's a good guy with a good head on his shoulders but he's probably not cut out to be an ILB. Edge guy, sure. pic.twitter.com/kI1VIYv9In

Wait until they start playing players like has been talked about in the B1G. That will widen the gap even more.

Do you have a source for this? I want to share it elsewhere but can’t find a link.

Yes this is a tough loss. I want to throw things right now. LOL. I sometimes think I am too emotionally invested. LOL.

Anyway. Utah looks MUCH better than they did at the start of last season. Barring serious injuries this team should be top contender for the conference championship and the Rose Bowl. I’m not going to even think about the CFP.…[Read more]

Maybe it is not benign, but if I remember correctly, it was actually a Ute fan that came up with ALUF. However, BYU fans do seem to use it in a somewhat insulting way. I think I’ve seen somebody with the username “ALUF” post here recently. Maybe that person invented it? Maybe not.

I think it is possible (maybe even probable) that Washington, Cal, Stanford, Oregon leave for the B1G. With that either Utah joins the Big-XII, or the Pac-12 acquires a bunch of MWC programs. With the latter, BYU fans will equate Utah to be in the MWC. While not exactly true, I can see why they would mock us with it, if half the conference is…[Read more]

No doubt BYU played “lights out” in that game. They clearly wanted to win that game. I was disappointed in Utah’s efforts, however, the shuffling of the Oline that Utah was doing at that time of the season can do that to a team – create confusion on Utah’s offense and make it appear they weren’t motivated much, when they probably were. And boy did…[Read more]

Good post. I don’t agree 100% with all of it, but no problem. If we all thought exactly alike, this world would be boring.

RE: “It’s only fair for me to return the favor since there are so many Utah fans on our message board and we have a nice healthy dialogue.”

I used to post occassionally on CB a few years ago, but not anymore. I haven’t l…[Read more]
