He was on the summer leadership counsel. I can’t remember if he was the first early enrollee that Utah had, certainly the most high profile at the time. Since that time an early enrollee Freshman has always been a representative on the leadership council (which is different than captains and includes reps from each class, the scout team, etc.)…[Read more]

A career backup, who Utah coaches identified as “Chris Olave’s” high school QB a little too late, managed to hover over the Utah program like a dark cloud while two of the most successful signal callers in program history were winning championships and setting school records. To think, fans still say “the coaches blew it with Tuttle” when the…[Read more]

Full disclosure, I am too hammered to know. They have done this to me!

And…

Any individual could enjoy the wins. Look at the collective. Look at the post on this site after every game for the last 6 years. The wins were never “good enough” and by God the losses, straight self harm watch. It sucks the fun right out of it.

Winning hasn’t been fun around here since the end of the 2018 season. It has been more about relief.

Well, I would shit myself if they jogged out Huard against Houston and slung the rock 40 times out of spread set with Kuithe flexed to flanker. So I think the Imodium stock should remain stable.

Well… I guess it does?

With benefit of hindsight that is true. I don’t think anyone outside of the program (honestly it might only be Whit, Risings Camp, the AD, and some high level boosters) really knows what happened in 2023 and at this point it is water under the bridge. What I believe to be true is that Bryson and Nathan were not going to be it regardless. I…[Read more]

Fair point, we also know they took his “C”, and who knows what level of involvement they wanted. We also don’t know what was said in the players only. Usually in 23′ he was with the other QB’s and this season that was the case also before last night.

The observation on Risings “demeanor” are total BS. What would you have him do. Yell at the players who are actually playing? Sit there like LaVell Edwards with a frown on his face like he ate a poopy flavored lollypop? Cry like Caleb Williams. What is a proper look for a Captain who can’t play due to injury on the sideline? Last time I…[Read more]

Looking at the list of guys since 2001, I think there is a lot of truth to Chingis original post. I also can look at the list and tell you that there seems to be a real drop off after Kiel MacDonald left. Bernard was a MacDonald recruit and Glover was the last MacDonald high school recruit. What I do know, is there seemed to be a lot more…[Read more]

Marty Johnson, Ganther, Poston (whoof), Asiata, White, Poole, Booker, Shyne. All JC transfers except Poston who came from SC. That takes you back to 2000.

Eddie Wide, Darrell Mack, Lucky Radley, Susuan Shakerin, Devin Brumfield, Henry Cole, TJ Green, Jaylon Glover have all been HS recruits that played a memorable amount of snaps during the…[Read more]

There is a lot of truth to that, but it is also how they “avoid contact.” You watch tape on some of these guys that just simply keep bouncing outside until they can outrun everyone. Well, everyone is High School is a whip lb running a 5 second 40 and a strong safety running a 4.8 with a tail wind. The thing that was interesting about Moss and…[Read more]

What is a 185 lb. High School senior? Is he a 205 Lb. freshmen after a summer in the weight room and proper nutrition, or is he a 185 Lb. guy moving to defensive back after a summer in the weight room and proper nutrition? How about the 205 lb. High School senior? Is he a 220 Lb. butterball when he arrives on campus after being told how good he…[Read more]

Running backs are just weird in general. Issues with grades, personality stuff, criminal history, late body development, simply overlooked in High School. It seems to be the ultimate “talent trumps all” situation which is why I think there were so many transfer back pre-portal, and post portal it is even more of a wild west deal.

Zack Moss…[Read more]

Take me back to a time where Utah running backs were “not running against a stacked box” according to most of the people on this board the only consistent thing about the Utah program since 2009 is running inside zone 70% of the plays regardless of OC or QB situation…

Having more success with a transfer running back is not unique to Utah, it…[Read more]

The “Utah effect” perhaps?

#1 Welcome BYU Matt to the board. You are welcome to celebrate your teams victory with us!
#2 The Big12 is white dog shit. The hateful 8 should be embarrassed of themselves, the mid-major 4 may be better than the teams in the league that were in power conferences since the 50’s. We’ll see if they can actually wear the mid-majors down by the end…[Read more]
