Wouldn’t be much of an upset since it is #8 (OSU) vs #9 (Tennessee) but out of the four first-round games I think Tennessee has the best chance of an upset. OSU is favored by 7.5 points.

I think there will be at least one upset out of the four.
Looking forward to watching all the games.

Absolutely am watching, one game on Friday, three on Saturday.
Will piss-off the wifey (especially being the weekend before Christmas), but I’m a diehard college football fan so gotta watch.

Recruited by a lot of big programs, e.g., Ohio State, Texas, Florida, Oregon, but “only” a 3-star. Wonder why all the attention??? Must have something real good that they all see.

Assume he’ll be playing DE rather than LB since we’re looking a bit thin in this position at this point.
247 shows him weighing 230 lbs so he may need to beef up a some.

Also, he’s a legacy. Father was a Ute WR in 1997-98 – caught 98 passes for 1,435 yards.

Bartle on a recent broadcast said that Wayshawn Parker is visiting the U next weekend.
Before Utah I’ve read that he is also visiting USC, UCLA, and Arizona.

I know both USC and UCLA lost both of their to-be 2025 starting RBs to the portal so hopefully hiring the WSU RB coach gives us a fighting chance. USC for sure will be offering bags and bags.

Even better, another punter from the land of Oz.

Source of rumor???

Quick internet search gives me this tidbit – sounds like the SEC is his first school is his first choice.

“According to On3’s Pete Nakos, Arnold is looking to make a splash to advance his college football career. His list is relatively small. All three teams reside in the SEC, but the most eye-popping would be playing for…[Read more]

Couple of comments:

1. In a Whitt presser a couple of weeks ago he mentioned Damuni, (along with Kenan Johnson), “expressed their interest to return next season”. As we all know Damuni missed all of the 2024 season with an injury while Johnson had a season ending injury in the SUU game. Let’s hope this statement holds and they’re both back for…[Read more]

12 TDs & 12 picks?!?! Not a good ratio.

Agreed – we can and

need

to do better.

What a hilarious post!!!

And why the downvotes…some people just don’t have a sense of humor I guess.

Uncle is Devonte Christopher, Ute WR 2009-12. He was very good one.

Yes on Damuni maybe returning, along with Kenan Johnson. Here is blurb on it I lifted from SI:

“During Monday’s press conference, Utah head coach Kyle Whittingham shared significant news about two key players, linebacker Levani Damuni and cornerback Kenan Johnson. Both have expressed their intention to return next season, a development that b…[Read more]

Here’s why:

After the 12-team CFP is set, the rest of the bowls make their selections. The Alamo Bowl has first choice among the old Pac-12 teams. (The Holiday Bowl has second choice.) The other team in the Alamo will be from the Big 12. Thus Colorado vs. TSPP.

I believe this arrangement (old Pac12 vs Big12) goes through 2025.

Nice way to close the season, so nice to finally get a win.
Now can’t wait for 2025 season!..Go Utes!
