Holladay Ute

I would be excited if we got this guy. I’m not even sure we could get him if we tried hard? Somebody that passed for 2,700 yards, ran for 1,000, and accumulated 31 total TDs w/ 12 INTs seems like a hot commodity. I’m ignorant to our other options. What other good QBs are in the portal (or might be in the portal soon) that we could…[Read more]

It seems like there are a lot of Utes doing well in the NFL.

He knows that our offense is going to be so good next year that he’ll never get opportunities to punt!

Repeating much of what was already said.

I’m not disappointed, but I’m not going to allow myself to get super excited either. No matter who we got, my feeling was and still is to reserve judgement until we’re at least 3-4 (maybe even 6) games into next season. Maybe the other two guys were higher up on the target list. Maybe not though.…[Read more]

I don’t trust any of the gossip and rumors about culture dynamics (between coaches and players, etc.) b/c my own experience indicates that it’s turned out to be mostly just that: gossip and rumors. If I had reliable information about the situation and if I wasn’t part of the problem, there’s no way I would be spreading gossip and rumors as a…[Read more]

I mean, clearly he knew that Whitt still had multiple years left on his contract.

Did you listen to it? I’m only questioning b/c I posted it at 9:36 and you responded at 9:41. It was a five minute video segment that I was highlighting. Maybe you were sitting there waiting for responses and so you saw my response immediately after I posted it and then immediately loaded the link, immediately found the segment I highlighted,…[Read more]

Everyone on here should listen to five minutes of this interview (specifically from 16:30-21:30). Curious to hear if this changes anybody’s speculation about what’s going on behind the…[Read more]

Will be interesting to see where things go for them. Although, I would say our situation is not as dire as theirs…

I don’t think this is enough information to form opinions or conclusions. Based on my experience on this website, I feel like the reliability of a lot of these sources ends up being spotty. I also have a source that is theoretically very close to the program (I’d bet as close as whoever the sources on here are). I never post anything I get from…[Read more]

This one is a downer, but it’ll be hard to keep all the guys you want to keep. It seems like the most important ones have been staying. It’s not like Fotu was incredible for us.

This isn’t surprising. And I’m not sure it increases the level of concern either (at least relative to where we were already at). Of course Oklahoma is going to beat us out for an OC. As for Texas Tech, definitely more of a bummer, but why wouldn’t he go there unless Utah was willing to offer meaningfully more money? And I would be a little…[Read more]

Most Boise State fans I’ve met share my disdain for BYU. So I guess they’re my friends.

I don’t buy this. You’re telling me some random former NFL referee re-watched the entire game and graded every route just b/c? And he didn’t find a single route where similar contact was made, i.e. the refs were perfect in what is the most difficult part of the game to referee? Has there ever been a game anywhere where referees perfectly…[Read more]

What Joel Klatt said about it is how I feel about it. I think that call could go either way and is ultimately a subjective flag in a gray area. Obviously, as a Utah fan, I’m biased to think that this is a super ticky-tacky call. I feel like plays like this happen all the time in football. A BYU fan will say it’s a “textbook” hold. Clearly,…[Read more]

The terrible performance from the O-line probably decimated Ludwig’s entire game plan. I would imagine he was counting on being able to run the ball at least somewhat efficiently (say around 5 yards per carry). Instead, they gave him less than 3 yards per carry and allowed 4 sacks. To a bad defense. That’s just impossible for anybody to…[Read more]

This is definitely our worst team since the Mountain West days.
