They did, he missed reads on simple concepts and threw into double coverage multiple times when other receivers in the route were running wide open. You can call play 128 of 128 in the play book and it won’t work if the QB can’t make the decisions to operate the play.

Isaac forced the coaches to shut down the offense, not the other way around…

Mike Leach ran one of the most high powered offenses in college football for 20 years off a piece of paper that looked like a delinquents homework wadded in his pocket. And he did it from field level on the fly. Paul Johnson was the same way at Georgia Southern, Navy, and Georgia Tech and killed it for the most part even running the triple…[Read more]

Wilson had several easy schemed completions the first three series of the third quarter. He was missing reads on pretty simple concepts including one that would have gone for a 70 yard catch and run TD to Money. After that, the coaches had no choice but to shut it down, avoid a turnover, and get out of there with a win.

The D was out there…[Read more]

That. We have been spoiled (and whined about it the whole time) White, Booker, Moss, Jordan, Good Tavion, Jackson. We don’t have that guy this season. It doesn’t help that JaQuinden is averaging 150 and 3 tugs per game at Arkansas.

Not really, he was given a shot in the 3rd to play but the coaches completely shut down the offense after back to back series where Wilson threw incompletions on high/low route concepts because he missed the read. The second one would have been a 70 yard touchdown to Money Parks. Those are half field concepts a 1 read, run first QB in high…[Read more]

Always a pirate stream lurking on Youtube. This game is off the radar enough Fox may not knock it down. I was thrilled when I discovered that my ESPN+ is worthless because of my DirectV status.

Real talk, are you equating the drop off from Shapen to Robertson vs. the drop off from Rising to Barnes/Johnson? I am not judging, but I am saying one of these things is not like the other…

Ah yes, our yearly request to styme the offense and forego winning for the sake of the whim of a 17 year old. Oh goody. At least we have something to blame other than the Brinks truck the big boys roll up to his house in…

The tribal elders disagree. And frankly, they are the only ones whose votes count on the issue. Every time someone asks “what’s a Ute?” usually being an ass, we get the opportunity to educate people on the proud indigenous people who were the original “people of the mountains.”

And we think Cam is locked in on Kuithe… Fafita has got some oneitis too.

Finishes up 11/20 for 198, 2 tugs and a pick. Actually looks like he will be the starter moving forward regardless of the injury.

I don’t, it was SUU. The most difficult thing about that game was the fans dealing with concessions issues at the stadium. And the reactions to this scrimmage have been spectacular.

*Oh no, SUU gained a yard! Better shutter the program, staring down the barrel at 1-11.
*Rising threw 5 touchdown passes in the first half. Look for a place to…[Read more]

I think any positive estimation of Gus Malzahn is an over estimation. Dude has never stuck anywhere, got ran out of every P5 job he had on a rail, and but for the pad hand (aka had boosters buy Newton) he was delt at Auburn would not have a “national championship.” He has never had sustained success because he ain’t any good.

I guess I just don’t get the UCF thing. That mid major squad will be ground to pulp by game 12. Solid starters, but how many key injuries will it take to derail things. In a few years, sure. But now, even with the transfers, they are light for talent in the two deep.

Enthusiasm correlated with the quality of opponent.

Cold truth, the “Urban Spread” left with Urban, Sanford, and Mullen. Ludwig ran the same 1 back “west coast” offense out of the shotgun with read option elements. BJ was under center a bunch in 2005 with Ganther at tailback. BJ, rarely ran designed run plays in 08′. The “true spread” as ran by Dave Scramm lasted 6 games until the immobile…[Read more]

Booker, Booker, Punt/K Scott PI won a bunch of games.

But for those teams, there would be no this team…

New conference, new ESPN “writer” who is a carryover. Utah has earned the AP writers respect. Utah fans have earned the Big12 press’ ire. Hence the deviation. But as Redd said at the end of Shawshank, “go ahead and stamp your form Sonnie, cause frankly I don’t give a s%^$”

Rough to say. Offense should be high 30’s because that’s what Rising led offenses have done. On Defense, without knowing how the safety play will be, it is hard to say. It could be anywhere between 18-25 depending on how the safety’s come along because they are that important to the scheme.

I think there are a lot of misconceptions about the…[Read more]

Thoughts: Utah football is a fantastic hobby and an excellent distraction from life. However, once you start analyzing the “lack of rushing” touchdowns in a hype video edited by a marketing department as a cause for concern in the upcoming season, the shark may have been jumped…
