Jim Vanderhoof replied to the topic Well Now, Someone Outside Utah is Starting to Ask Questions… in the forum Football 1 month, 3 weeks ago
I respectfully disagree Miami. Rising when healthy is a championship QB. He proved it twice. Last year was a joke and should never have happened. This year is different. The finger injury was a freak accident. Cam won’t put the team in jeopardy if he can’t throw the ball better than Wilson. I think all the negative talk is going to get him and the…[Read more]

Jim Vanderhoof replied to the topic Win the bye week… in the forum Football 1 month, 3 weeks ago
Good points. I think the big backs are able to move the pile a little more. JJ would have been a big help. I like MB and I agree he is the best we have in short yardage but he hits the wall and is stopped. A big back might be able get an extra 1/2 yard with body lean.
Mitchell hasn’t shown he can get the extra yard. I don’t remember ever spr…[Read more]

Thanks Rick and Stbone. Always appreciate your posts. The red zone performance was bad. It’s been bad for a couple years. Not having that big back hurts. That RPO with Rising and TT was hard to stop. Rising will open the play book more.
Stbone I was watching Barton last game. He over ran a couple tackles and Fano lost containment a couple t…[Read more]

Amen. We weren’t ready to play.

I agree proud Ute. We’ve been invincible at night at RES. I’ve been to every game (missed a couple is all)for the last 50 years. The Urban second year was the best as far as fan excitement. We had never reached those heights before. Seems every year the expectations have gotten higher and the disappointment higher.

Definitely a letdown. Also maybe a wake up call. Coaches, players and fans seem to be a little to caught up in he media and fan hype.

Good time for everyone to take a week off enjoy the beautiful weather and reflect on the positives. Arizona was a bad loss and there is plenty of blame to go around. It was obvious the team wasn’t ready to play and the “will Cam play “has had an effect on everyone including the coaches and team.
Rising Reid and hopefully OToole will be back for A…[Read more]

Jim Vanderhoof replied to the topic Various thoughts in the forum Football 1 month, 3 weeks ago
I was surprised we didn’t come out more fired up. I pictured it more of a revenge game. We looked tired. Good time to get a bye week. If Cam was healthy enough to play he would have played.
We still have 7 games left and still in contention for a playoff spot. Let’s stay positive and not let 1 bad game ruin a season. Cam will be back for ASU and…[Read more]

Jim Vanderhoof replied to the topic I’d rather finish the season with Wilson in the forum Football 1 month, 3 weeks ago
Common Ute hub. It’s one game Arizona had a bye last week to prep for Wilson. Rising should (who the hell knows) be back for ASU. We play our best when our backs are against the wall. We can’t afford another loss. This is Cams last hurrah as a college QB and Ute . He comes back and sparks the team just like he did in 2021.

We have a good shot of winning all our games but it’s a long season injuries can play a role in wins and losses. Look at last year.

Universally despised by all Big 12 schools? Thats like calling the kettle black. Sounds like a cougarboard comment. I’m sure you’ve scanned the internet to find some sophisticated fans on twitter to back that comment. I know everyone likes BYU so much. Go back to the free ice cream stand for visitors at LES and hand out Utah thinks their bet…[Read more]

Common man. Powerhouse? Georgia Ohio Sate Alabama are powerhouses. We are a good solid program but let’s see how we do in the Big 12 with a really good team. If we make the final 4 in the playoffs that might qualify us as a powerhouse this year. I’ve been a Ute fan way to long to consider us a powerhouse.

Why down vote someone who likes being in the Big 12? Tyler nothing wrong with liking the conference you grew up watching. Nothing wrong with others missing the Pac 12. Me personally I like playing some new teams and also miss the marquee matchups in Pac 12. We can’t change anything so let’s make the best of the situation and be happy we can hav…[Read more]

Jim Vanderhoof replied to the topic Time for Lucy to pull that ball. . . in the forum Football 1 month, 3 weeks ago
That’s the problem with hiding injuries. We don’t know how bad it really is. Cam says he’s ready and when game time comes he’s not. Cam will know if he can throw. He needs to decide.

Jim Vanderhoof replied to the topic Time for Lucy to pull that ball. . . in the forum Football 1 month, 3 weeks ago
I agree Tony it’s game day! Let’s get a win reguardless who plays. This team will be behind either qb which wasn’t the case last year against Arizona. The Ok st game last week showed Wilson can win a big game.

Jim Vanderhoof replied to the topic Contain McMillan, win the game? Is it that simple? in the forum Football 1 month, 3 weeks ago
McMillan is NFL quality. So use the Belichick take the best player out plan. Arizona depends on the big plays to score. Make them earn it with long drives.
They destroyed our defense and shut down our pathetic offense last year. They have confidence they can do it again as reflected by their media. We need to come out early and show them we are…[Read more]

Jim Vanderhoof replied to the topic OnlyU in the forum Football 1 month, 3 weeks ago
We’ve seen 2 not even full halves of Cam. How can you come to conclusions about throwing to Singer. Cam would throw more to the receivers than Wilson because they would pass more. Cam didn’t have the receivers two years ago he has now. He knows if he wants a shot at the NFl he needs to show he can throw downfield.
Offense would be much dif…[Read more]

If Rising isn’t close to 100% but can play if needed. Start Wilson and bring in Rising if we need a spark. Otherwise let him have 2 more weeks to heal. We should know the first half if our defense can shut them down and we can get an early lead.

Jim Vanderhoof replied to the topic Injuries in the forum Football 1 month, 4 weeks ago
Good points Rick. I had heard through a national media reports that Cam had a setback during Wed practice last week. I took that meaning he took the snaps on mon and Tues and must have tried something that aggravated it on wed. Then it might make sense that they weren’t sure how bad the setback was. Would it feel better by sat. Obviously it was b…[Read more]
