Sounds like rumors are flying around. But it seems nothing is in writing yet. http://www.bruinzone.com/fb/messages/99831.shtmlI hope he goes elsewhere and UCLA hires somebody who runs a pro style offense. I think the Utes match up better with pro style rather than Chip Kelly style. 

Good post and I agree. I was pissed after last night’s game but mostly because it felt like bad luck. Kind of how you feel when somebody smashes your car.  Utah will be better next year. The video at the bottom of the page you posted is a short one-minute video of Washington’s defensive backs coach. He seems to say he had his hands full preparing…[Read more]

Wazzu had a short field frequently so that leads to lead yards. However the defense held them to less than 4 yards per play, which was less than we had. That is a better stat in this type of game. So your point is good, it is just that yards-per-play tells the story better than total yards. 

The defense played very well. Kyle said in his interview that the defense allowed less than 4 yards per play. That is excellent. And he said that pass efficiency was excellent. Lets give the defense credit. With the ridiculous numbers of turnovers they could have given up with excuses. But they didn’t. I seriously doubt Utah wins at Washington…[Read more]

Utah ran a few offensive formations that we haven’t seen. Maybe they just needed practice. 

506 total yards. 

Leach is so awesome.  One time he was briefly interviewed at halftime when his team was playing terrible defense and had allowed a lot of points.  The interviewer asked “What does your defense need to do in the second half?” Leach responded “tackling the guy with the ball would help”.  Then he promptly ran off to the locker room. 

I wonder about Whitt. Bringing the Utes out of the MWC into the Pac-12 must have required an incredible amount of energy and anxiety, both physically and mentally. The first several years, having to compete with MWC talent must have been terribly difficult. Even now, with recruits that are average at best in the conference is still difficult. I am…[Read more]

So does the D line. 

ASU beating Washington is amazing enough. But Washington without a point in the 4th quarter is stunning. It could definitely be a real dogfight against ASU. 

I agree about the D. The lack of sacks this year is really concerning. And, good grief, that 3rd quarter was painful. 

I have a confession to make. I have this strange addiction of going to CougarBoard and reading their comments when BYU is getting their butts kicked. I just find it hilarious. http://www.cougarboard.com/board/message.html?id=18643574http://www.cougarboard.com/board/message.html?id=18643503http://www.cougarboard.com/board/message.html?id=18643611

He waived his compensation through 2021. Wow. 

Good commit for Utah. Offers from USC, UCLA, Arizona, Arizona St., Cal., Oregon. 

Where is the interview?

Thought I saw him in there – first defensive series of 2nd half. 

I agree. If true then that is too bad. I actually kinda liked Boney’s tweets, even though he’s a Y fan. He kind of breaks through the stiff BYU fans that have such a dry, lame sense of humor or no sense of humor at all.

It would be great to win Penei Sewell. One of the top offensive line prospects in the nation.  But with Alabama and USC in the mix, I doubt he’ll choose Utah. 

Good grief. Even BYU is better than us  on 3rd downs, and they’ve played against much more difficult defenses. 

Mike Norvell is the coach of Memphis. He was the offensive coordinator at Arizona State under Todd Graham a few years back.  That’s when they were pretty good and had a good offense especially when Taylor Kelly was QB. Turned him into a pretty good QB(only a 2 star recruit if I remember right). When he was at ASU, his personality reminded me of…[Read more]
