Whitt yesterday was asked the question if they are already looking forward and preparing for the championship game. He gave an emphatic “NO”, saying they are 100% focused on BYU right now.

The amazing thing is I remember attending several spring scrimmages then and I remember thinking that our kickers absolutely sucked. I think Gay was one of them – can’t remember exactly. I can’t remember if Chayden was one of them (was he on a mission? – can’t remember.) Amazing the progress Gay has made. 

I wonder if they tried to do the fake Covey punt return, like they did in Oregon in ’15. I thought I saw Covey act like he was receiving a punt only the punt was fielded by another Ute away from Covey – I forget who. 
I am not totally sure this was the case  as it happened quickly and I only saw a split-second of it. 
Regardless, if so, it didn’t…[Read more]

A desperate team can be dangerous. Plus, they need a win, to become bowl eligible. 

“The key to life is low expectations.”
There is a scarry amount of truth to this . At least when it comes to things you have no control over. 

No wonder onlyu said he didn’t have the mental ability to compete. 

This.  The play of the defense solidified this today.  Asu had something like over 530 yards or something like that. Seriously the D got pushed around and plain just got thier butt kicked. 
The offense wasn’t much better, but with Huntley out I can sort of understand . But the defense seriously made the team look like a 6 – 6 team ..if even that…

I think always having caution to Utah’s success is wise, while allowing ourselves to have fun and celebrate recent success.
  Each week gives another week for teams to figure out how to play Utah.  For example, the bunch formation on offense is new and the teams that faced it didn’t really know how to defend it fully.  But 4 or 5 games of it on…[Read more]

All depends on Huntley staying healthy.  

I’d love to see Utah win, but I have a hard time seeing a great team like Stanford losing 2 in a row. Maybe – Utah matches up better against Stanford than against WSU and Washington, but I have my doubts Utah gets a win.

A few funny responses in the comments to the tweet:
“Can we PLEASE end the use of the term Cougar/Coug. Its a disgusting term that reinforces patriarchal stigmas against womyn who r attracted to younger men.”
 
“UW needs to stop using Husky because it’s insensitive to young boys who wear husky size jeans.”

I know some people won’t like what I have to say, but I enjoyed watching this game. Not because I like BYU, but because I just like it when a significant underdog beats another team by playing smashmouth football .I mean Wisc was supposed to dominate the LOS, but they didn’t .
I like Kilani a lot and am happy for him. As for BYU, I don’t like them…[Read more]

TROLL.

This guy comes around whenever Washington is playing, essentially posting the same thing over the years, going as back as far as 2014 on multiple…[Read more]

“This game plan has been a masterpiece!”
 
I remember that quote by the announcer. Forgot about that. 

Huge play. Given that Big 10 power teams like Michigan are known for superb Oline play and recruiting, that makes it a huge play!

I had the exact same thoughts as you. 
First off, who is the receiver, #25, Jaylen Dixon? I mean, how many scores did he have today? Two? Three?  I didn’t keep track, but he had several I know. Although I think it was him who popped the ball up in the end-zone for an interception. But it was very wet then and so that was likely the reason. But…[Read more]

I was there. I am terrible at football analysis, so take this with a grain of salt. I just go because I enjoy it, and it breaks up a boring day. 
It seems to me that the defense is definitely ahead of the offense. No surprises there. QBs were not impressive. All threw into tight coverage. Huntley was picked off a few times. Running game executed…[Read more]

I find the open practices and especially the scrimmages to be much more valuable to attend than the spring game. 

“But, he seems like a kid that wants to make sure he will succeed before putting himself out there. “
 
This seems true about Tupai. Remember he committed about a month late after February just to make sure his decision was right, IIRC. Also,  I think he requested to redshirt his freshman year. It seems he takes his choices seriously. 

I remember that game! I actually watched it. It was the Miami Dolphins if I remember it correctly. Very early 80s if I remember right. Can’t remember who they played, however. Very interesting experiment.
