This is what I don’t get. Utah invented the RPO with Alex Smith. And we have a QB that could excel at it.

Yet we hardly run it. It’s mind blowing.

I think you change #1 to:

Pray that Rose gets healthy and quick.

Johnson is a great athlete, he’s a super young and inexperienced QB, and he just ain’t it this year.

If we want to get to 10 wins, it won’t be with Johnson. If we want to get to 8 wins, it won’t be with Johnson. We need someone not named Johnson and Barnes.

Rose is all we have left.

Cause the pig farmer can’t throw.

Eh, I think this is a little overblown. The coaches only get 20 hours a week, and they developed Rose. And then Rose got hurt. Johnson was supposed to be the scout team QB this year and be ready for next year. It’s just bad luck.

If Cam plays, we win big.

If Johnson plays, it’s another 14-7 game.

Oregon St is so overrated.

We are playing an SEC schedule this year. Ton of ranked teams. Ton of overrated teams.

The question is, are we overrated or not? Because every game is winnable.

Unless the PAC modifies the contract with the remaining voting members. That is key to all of this. Who is allowed to vote?

Because right now, you have 8 members of the PAC who haven’t left.

DJ Uigalelei sucks. Look, there is a reason why he isn’t at Clemson anymore. There is a reason why he is at Oregon State.

And it’s not because he is good.

If we had Cam, we’d roll Oregon State, just like we did last year. Because our offense is so limited, the game will probably be closer than it should be, with a shot at us losing. That’s why…[Read more]

If we give all the reps to Nate, how many wins do we have this year? Best case and worst case?

I think that is where we disagree.

I think you are saying to give Johnson all the reps so we can lose to Oregon, USC, UW, and probably OSU. BUT we might be able to beat Cal, ASU, Arizona and Colorado. Whereas if we don’t give reps to Johnson, we lose to OSU, Oregon, USC, UW, Colorado and maybe Cal and finish with 6 wins.

I think any season…[Read more]

It will be interesting to watch. No on in a million years thought the PAC-12 would go away. And hell, if Colorado doesn’t sell out for 2 million…it might still be here.

I bet there isn’t even dissolution terms in the contracts, that’s how crazy all this is. Who would have ever imagined USC would bail and go be Ohio State, and Michigan and Penn…[Read more]

Then Colorado is dumb as rocks. “let’s give up voting rights on issues valuing 500 million dollars for 2 million dollars…”

Morons.

Technically, I think only USC, UCLA and Colorado have formally told the P12 they are leaving.

The other teams are still full members…and at least on paper…long term members of the PAC-12. They’d be stupid to leave right now. There are too many things to figure out. They all invested in the PAC-12 Networks. They need to figure out who owns…[Read more]

This is where bad luck has killed Utah. If Rose hadn’t gotten hurt…who knows where we are now. We might be stressing that Wilson is going to decommit because he knows he will never see the field.

We are just hamstrung by Cam. We need him. Desperately. We need him taking reps so he feels good and wants to play. There is no other way around it.…[Read more]

The reality is…we don’t know. We don’t know if people will continue to cut cords. We don’t know if Cable will make a comeback…or a streaming version of cable.

Money drives this. Not Ohio State, not Alabama. It’s subscribers to Comcast, DISH, Directv…It’s the little old lady who watches FOX NEWS 24 hours a day paying $8 to ESPN every month.…[Read more]

I agree 100% with you. Your logic is spot on. But you have to keep running Cam out there in hopes that something clicks and he is ready to play. We have been so lucky. Johnson fumbled 3 times and had at least two balls that should have been picked off. He just isn’t good enough.

And Barnes is worse than that.

We desperately need Cam to show…[Read more]

Here is what will happen. ESPN won’t pay. OSU and WSU will sue. ESPN will argue that they paid for USC, not WSU and OSU and WSU are acting in bad faith. The judge will roll their eyes and tell them to figure it out.

ESPN will then settle with OSU and WSU…either with cash or get them into a conference.

I don’t think you are wrong. You are 100% correct. Johnson would be better if we shelved Cam for a month.

BUT, we can’t win the PAC-12 with Johnson. Or, it would take a miracle to win the PAC-12 with Johnson. We can win with an average Cam.

So you have to keep running Cam out there in hopes he can play. With a mediocre Cam, we beat UCLA like a…[Read more]

He didn’t play QB until his JR year in HS.

HS – JR
HS – SR
College – FR
College – RS FR – this year.

It’s pretty simple. The P12 it really tough. And Utah is really, really good.

The second Cam can start, you start him. The reality is, we scored 31 vs Weber St and 14 vs UCLA. That isn’t good enough. We need Cam. It’s not bagging on Johnson, he’s been fantastic for what we’ve needed. But we can’t win the PAC-12 with him as our QB…or at least…[Read more]
