I don’t think other posters knew it was a meaningless exhibition game.

It was an exhibition game. It doesn’t count as a win or loss.

Yeah, the feeling I got was that he wasn’t even part of the picture. Unless something unforeseen happens, it’s either Isaac or Brandon the rest of the season.

What I meant by slip is that he specified what type of injury it was. The exact quote from him was: “Yeah. Money Parks is out for the season with a broken cla…I mean upper body injury.”

Tuttle was on the leadership council? How was that possible? He left a couple of months into his freshman season. I thought those spots were reserved for veteran players. I don’t have any spite for Tuttle. He left because he didn’t fit in at Utah and I can’t blame him for that. His biggest claim to fame is the ability to get a couple of…[Read more]

Semper Fi…

Really Ghost, do you think we lose to ASU? Personally, I think the likeliest loss would have been to Zona, but that’s just me. I can definitely see a path for this team to be undefeated with regular, not outstanding, play from Barnes.

You know, I’ve been thinking about that quite a bit. If Barnes had stayed and performed as last year, we’re easily, at worst, 6-2, and possibly undefeated. Given the circumstances, I’m sure that Barnes is also probably kicking himself for transferring. I get that he wanted to play but he’s a backup as USU as well.

Sorry brother, but occasionally you have to look at the way things are instead of the way you wish them to be.

Well, here’s the other thing…the defense has kept us in the game but we’ve been playing cupcakes. Also, keep in mind that last night’s game was only in doubt because Houston shot itself in the foot TWICE within the shadow of the goal line. They get any points out of those drives and the game is over sooner rather than later. I additionally…[Read more]

It’s really shocking to see how the team has regressed in so many phases of the game just in the last two seasons.

Some of us have been saying that statement the moment we knew the extent of Rising’s injury in July 2023. It’s also something that will be printed in Whitt’s tombstone should he not be able to right this ship.

The way I see it, here’s where the heartburn with Harlan comes in:
1. It was Harlan that gave Whitt the massive extension that Utah is on the hook for.
2. Harlan flubbed the Smith hire and stayed too long with Farden. Given that, it’s hard to see him being capable of selecting the next football coach if Scalley isn’t the automatic hire.

You’re right…I’m sure he’s got some upside but his play and skillset scream “G5” at me. Yeah, sure, he had moments early on this season and at Copper Canyon, but once the book on him was printed he hasn’t been able to play well consistently. I mean, what’s the difference between him and Maddux Madsen at BSU, other than Madsen is providing…[Read more]

Maybe in times past I would agree with you…but, right now, NIL is king…just like tons of people stay in jobs that they despise because of the money, so you’ll see players stay at programs because of the money they’re making. Now, if some program offers a disgruntled player more money and perks, I could definitely see that player leaving for…[Read more]

Eagle, I have no idea. I was also puzzled as to why the defense didn’t dare Houston to beat them through the air once they got the ball back. The Cougars ran eight plays, all runs, before they kicked the game-winning FG.

Unfortunately, I believe you’re right and that he won’t walk away from the program. The problem is that I don’t see him being able to reinvent himself and lead Utah to future success. That means that he’ll probably overstay his welcome and end up being fired, thus tarnishing his legacy. Interesting times are certainly upon us as Utah fans.

Yeah, I was about to say that he could have been a hero but ended up a zero. His interception led directly to Utah’s loss.

Make a bowl game? It’s more likely that Utah gets blown out in each of the remaining games.
