      I agree. Something is going on with the excessive injuries.

      But I don’t have any inside knowledge. So I’m speculating.

      Just a guess – they probably get pushed harder in practice and have more physical practices. But I thought the coaches were going to address that this year so maybe I’m wrong.

      Interesting. I didn’t know that.

      But I will still take a Washington DE tranfer who we KNOW is ready now vs. a player who might not be ready for Utah game one. Again, it is next season only to think about.

      While I would have loved for Clegg to stay at Utah, I think that Utah actually improved with Lance Holtzclaw. I know his 247 rating isn’t as high as Clegg’s, but Holtzclaw is game ready right now. Clegg, not so much as he has to fight off two years of mission rust and that could take half the season or more.

      And with NIL and the transfer portal, it’s best to think about the upcoming season only. Meaning, Clegg with his higher rating could possibly be the longer term better player (who knows really?), but for next season, I would take Holtzclaw to be better since he already has proven himself. Win for Utah.

      Agreed. I used to have fun with Byu fans that I worked with back in the MWC days. Not now.

      I was somewhat excited to be back in the same conference when it was announced we were joining the XII. But that was just delusional me trying to be positive about things.

      I can’t stand being in the same conference as them now. For too many reasons to list. I’m sure they feel the same about us.

      As far as Clegg goes, my guess is that is what got the Washington DE Holtzclaw to commit. While Holtzclaw doesn’t have the same high school rating as high as Clegg, he does have playing experience. Clegg has yet to sack a QB in college ball. And he has mission rust to work off. Not saying he won’t be good for Byu, but we got a good deal out of it with Holtzclaw. And I’ll take it. Besides put Clegg up against Fano or Lomu and I’ll take that match up any day.

      Yea probably a backup role. Probably took a big bag of NIL money to lure him into a backup role.
