Simple: Because you will take a proven QB with experience over a promising QB with none. The known entity is less risky than the unknown one.

Imagine what 2021 would have been if we hadn’t gone to the portal for an experienced QB (Rising) and instead we were going with promising freshman Jack Tuttle…

Sorry but I don’t get this line of thinking. Cam is a top-5-of-all-time-type QB at Utah. I want him playing for my team every minute I can get.

He’ll be gone soon enough regardless (that’s the way of things in college sports). But if he has eligibility and the desire is there, I want him back and I want him starting. The future can wait.

I haven’t seen a lot of Cam hate. I’ve seen a lot of criticism. Hate and criticism are not the same thing. I criticize my coworkers sometimes, and sometimes they criticize me, but that doesn’t mean we hate each other.

I myself have said for 3 weeks that Cam doesn’t look right. I definitely don’t hate him.

Last i think Nate Johnson should play…

Like I’ve been saying for weeks – Cam has been off his game since the injury. The last two weeks it’s been masked by playing low-quality opponents. And next week it will be masked by playing a low-quality opponent. But against a team like Oregon, the effects of his injury are glaringly obvious.

Bottom line is last night was a battle of two…[Read more]

Reports are he’s favoring his ankle, even in warmups. If he does go, he’s going to be confined to the pocket all night. If we can get pressure on him (not a sure thing given the quality of their o-line), he’s going to go down a lot.

The key qualifier being “IF Rising can make those throws”. The past two weeks he hasn’t.

Any Oregon fan who makes that excuse is an idiot. We are missing multiple starters as well (Kuithe, Filinger).

They are not professional sports reporters – they are professional sports opinion writers. There’s a difference.

If it’s limited to one guy at a press conference or a bunch of randos on Twitter, it’s probably bait. If DJ is reporting it, it’s probably real. He is a professional sports reporter and has to get these ones right. If he loses credibility, his career is over.

That was actually pretty fun to watch. #16 OU got beaten like a third wife, losing by 50 (!!!) points. To put that scoring in context, Utah averaged 3.1 points per minute. Utah attempted 82 field goals (over 2 per minute) and shot 55% on them. Utah attempted 40 3s (1 per minute). Incredible stuff.

I dunno…that would be a pretty high level of subterfuge/tradecraft.

“You can still see the marks where the jockey was hitting it.”

Stay in Mesquite and drive to the game. Plus you can get that $3.99 prime rib, which I’m sure is a high-grade cut of meat.

Can Utah beat Oregon on the road? Yes.
Will Utah beat Oregon on the road? No.

I’m afraid this will be the game when all the injuries – including the nagging one Cam’s been playing with – catch up to us.

FYI after last night, Utah is up to #63 in KenPom. That’s 6th in the conference. Nothing to write home about, but this team may be better than the experts thought.

He does look much improved, but not tonight. His shot was off tonight. Carlson singlehandedly won that game for us.

Also, Tarlac got his first minutes of the year. He’s a real one – he’s gonna be good.

Thanks to this thread, my head exploded and now there’s brains all over my monitor. The janitorial crew is gonna be pissed.

Leeds really crapped the bed.
