I liked Proud’s 60 in 60 thread and Eagle’s prediction of O’Toole being the sack leader by year end.

What’s your bold prediction for this season? Mine is JJ becomes a top tier RB that can catch out of the backfield.

It’s been quiet around here lately. Guess that’s the off-season for you.

Give me your prediction on the top breakout player this year. So many to choose from!

Mine is Vaki on D. Dude was trending up like crazy at the end of the season. I think he could be a big playmaker for us and gives our D a ton of different looks.

For offense, I thi…[Read more]

Man, the potential and talent of this group is unreal. However, I’m not drinking the koolaid this year…only a sip here and there. Potential and improvement don’t mean anything, it all comes down to results on the field.

If you haven’t read this yet, it will give you a laugh on a sad day. Dude wasn’t perfect, but he had quite the personality.

For those that may not have seen these yet. Love this look.

Postgame on ESPN700 kept talking about Peyton Mannings comments on gameday about Rising. I missed it. Can anyone explain or elaborate? 

Everyone talked about DTR, Bobo, Charbonnet and the Chippenator. Nothing on Utah.
Then David Pollack said all you guys are talking about is UCLA, what about Utah? Give them some credit. Big emphasis on line play and that getting after DTR is how we can win. 
Herbie likes Utah and is usually very complimentary of us….unless is Ohio State or…[Read more]

I know there are some rules in football about formations and eligible receivers. 
Other than goal line jumbo packages, is there anything that says we couldn’t run a 4 or 5 tight end set? We ran a lot of 3’s last year.
Not saying this would be an every down formation, but have to wonder about the size and blocking nightmares this could create…[Read more]

Still have the highest avg class ever – looks like we jumped to .8753 now. All numbers here are 247 composites. 
I’m doing this from memorry, but if someone has a way to validate this, please let me know.
Ryan Peppins from 86 to 87
Elijah Davis from 85 to 86
Chris Reed 86 to 85 – could be wrong, but swore he was a 86 previously

Saw Jeremy Mercier is now in the portal. I think he was buried at LB. Wish him well. 
Also saw that Mika Tafua had a hernia and an upcoming surgery. Said it hurt to walk. Maybe that’s part of the reason why we didn’t generate the pass rush we thought we would against OSU. Then again, their oline played extremely well so hats off to them…[Read more]

Hey Tony, 
This goes without saying, but I’ll say it anyway – a genuine thank you for all you do around here (especially lately with all the troubleshooting). Was never a utefans guy but this community got me to post and I’m on here all the time. 
Wanted to give you a heads up on a potential bug and/or user error. Forgot my password and couldn’t…[Read more]

New Crystal Ball for high 3* LB Kaeo Akana from Blair Angulo in the last few days. Currently committed to Boise State, but could be a potential flip. Don’t know anything about him, but seems to have the prototypical size. 
This is all free info btw, just posting here for those that might not swing by 247s…[Read more]

Good segment on Utah, Cristobal interview and several comments. 
Utah is a different team with Cam, more balanced, and he can run. 
Muss is one of the best environments. 
Our uniforms were featured, and Herbie said it was the first time they’ve talked about an opponents uniform vs Oregon. 
Showed the pancake block against UCLA. 
said it…[Read more]

Going to the wire. On fox now. 

Jim Harbaugh microwaves his bacon. Haha. 
 

Gameday segment on Ty Jordan and Aaron Lowe just finished. It was really well done, but also incredibly sad. It’a worth a watch. They did announce that Utah has decided to retire the #22, which I think is the right call. Hadn’t officially heard that yet. 
PS: And let’s get a win today, huh? Can’t stand ASU. 

Bill Riley thinks 10-2. I like his optimism. I’m a 9-3 guy unless our offensive looks like 2019 with Huntley at the helm.

Leaving this up to the folks that are way better than me at math. How many scholarships do we have for the current recruiting class for 2022? 
I would assume due to these facts, that we will have a very small class. We picked up a lot of transfers last cycle, our team is very young with mostly frosh and Soph guys and Covid eligibility makes…[Read more]
