4-0 is great, but I disagree with your claims about running the ball.

UCLA knew Utah was going to keep running the ball in the second half. There was nothing creative and no real attempts to mix it up. As a result, UCLA was able to stop Utah and force a punt on every offensive possession in the second half.

Yeah, not sure what it is about the night games. The day games can feel almost dead by comparison. I am not a fan of mid-day or morning start times.

I prefer the evening start times so the game bridges over into the night, but not the late night. 8:30pm starts are too late.

I like this combo, but I will never stop hating this font for the numbers.

Haha. That would be funny.

Ranked at the end of the season makes more sense than ranked at the beginning.

Let say Utah (hypothetically) beat the #1 ranked team in the country in their first game of the season. Then, that #1 ranked team didn’t win a single game the rest of the season.

Would you still tout that as a win over the #1 ranked team?

Preseason and early season…[Read more]

In a nutshell, each FBS team starts with land equaling all the counties closest to campus (relative to other schools).

When teams play, the winner receives all the land held by the loser; thus growing their territory.

This is why Utah has land in Florida and Utah. Utah didn’t get any land from Baylor because they already lost their land to Texas…[Read more]

I love following this every year. I am not exactly sure why, but I love it.

Nice! I sometimes find it hard to look for new content on long threads. This could help!

He mentioned that ‘post-season’ games don’t count against the 4 game redshirt rule. Is that a new rule for this year?

Like Central Coast Ute mentioned, I believe Kyle was speaking about Curry when he mentioned practice and potentially playing this week.

Is it possible for a player to not participate in the NFL draft and simply sign as a free agent somewhere?
I don’t really follow the NFL draft; sorry if that is perceived as a dumb question.

Things I’d like to see:

1A – A win for Utah (of course)
1B – An entertaining game
2 – No ‘prevent’ defense that allows lots of yards late in the game (allowing opposing fans to post pointless stats)
3 – Sustained drives that end in touchdowns for Utah
4 – A pick 6 by a Utah player!
5 – No changing QBs mid series

Ever hear of Ohio State University? Ohio State to play Kyle McCord, Devin Brown…

Yeah, I wish we could exorcise our Boise State demons. However, Utah was not in the MWC with Boise State.

Hopefully… but TCU will always make me nervous (until proven otherwise)

It was one of those games where is was hard to tell if the offenses were amazing or the defenses were terrible.

It was entertaining and it does seem like Colorado has some players.

Strange that an SUU player was ejected from an ASU vs CSU game 😉.

Jokes aside, that ASU/SUU final score does not look good for ASU…

I feel like both teams flubbed most of the second half.

Utah was doing their best to let Florida back in the game by playing that stupid @%#$^&! prevent style defense on every play and calling an incompetently conservative offense that couldn’t move the chains. Why couldn’t they just keep playing to win, instead of not to lose?

On the other…[Read more]

I don’t think I will ever stop hating the “sitting on a lead” strategy.

I don’t see how letting the opposing team march up and down the field at will is a beneficial, winning strategy.
Couple that with the offensive side where we play so conservatively that there is basically no offense.

Why stop doing what was working? Why let the other team…[Read more]

I was glad that they let him keep playing. It was mildly surprising, given Whittingham’s reputation.

That said, I wish they wouldn’t swap the QB’s mid drive. Let them finish something. Also, let Johnson throw the ball…
