I watched some of that game. Cal couldn’t stop the run or pass. Cal had a small home crowd and played a redshirt freshman qb. Good week for our offense to open up and score some points. Freshman QBs struggle at RES. Go Utes !!

Thanks Robo. I’ll try to double click reply. Never done a fan board before. I’m sure it’s the user not the site. I’ve really enjoyed all the different opinions. Wish all of us armchair QBs could suit up. We’d be unbeatable. Thanks to all who contribute.

Utebacker totally agree with your JJ and little Jaylon takes. He is too small for our style of play. 2 yards and a cloud of dust instead of JJ 4 yards and a bigger cloud of dust.

Where we differ is running on the perimeter and throwing down field can utilize our talent. We have some speed. Cam coming out with the truth about his well being will…[Read more]

UteBacker I hope you don’t believe that. I think we see a different mind set. Two weeks to adjust and NJ has a good enough arm to hit open receivers. You assume the coaches and players are satisfied with those two games.

This team is driven and they got a wake up call at OSU. Tough environment for a freshman qb. I see the WR picking it up. T…[Read more]

We shall see Saturday. My guess(as good as anyone’s)is that we figure out a way to get the ball downfield to our play makers. Play action and take a few chances deep to keep the defense honest.

NJ needs to make good decisions and run for 1st downs. I think we score 30 + this game. Cal couldn’t stop OSU at home. Unless we keep our game plan aga…[Read more]

I agree Tony. First game against usc last year was a disaster. They spread the field and made us tackle in space. Plus we had an aggressive pass rush which lacked containment and Williams got out of the pocket.

CCG we contained him on the edges and pressured up the middle. Made him stay in the pocket and throw. We were more prepared for the…[Read more]

Freshman qb for Cal. Hostile environment. Two weeks to regroup and refocus. Season still on the line for the Utes. Big game for defense and offense gets JJ back (wishful thinking). Utes cover the spread and win. Go Utes

Unbelievable!!

Cal started a red shirt freshman against OSU. He played ok at home with a small crowd. He has not played in a hostile environment yet. Freshman QBs have not fared well RES.

I’m sure the odds makers know this fact and the Utes will be hungry to avenge their loss at home.

Million dollar question is how will our offense respond? Odds makers g…[Read more]

Did you check his nil deal with USC? Just trying to lighten things up. Thanks for the Dr. info.

Great thoughts ghost!! So true.

Whitt has put the turnover fear on him. Which makes him tentative. Doesn’t seem to be able to get the ball in tight spots and the receivers can’t get open and space for him to throw.

He proved he is a gamer against OSU which is a bug positive. He might surprise us all!!

Perfect storm for Whitt. He rolled the dice on Cam and Brandt. Under estimated the backup RBs and QBs. Possibly the best Pac 12 top half of all time.

Fall is a busy time for kids and grandkids playing football and soccer. Night games are better for September October when it’s warm and to avoid conflicts.

November December day games are better for obvious reasons. Too bad the networks and money dictate what’s best for us the fans. Wouldn’t it be nice if we actually had input?

Agree Proud Ute. It’s disappointing to not know week in and week out who will play and what the injuries are. Whitt has been consistent with the injury report for years.

The number of injuries and number of key players being out is unusual. The pac 12 is better than ever this year. We need Cam and JJ to have a chance at a run.

Trying to stay p…[Read more]

Sweeeet for me. Cal game in the afternoon. Zac Brown at USANA the evening! Thanks for posting.

Good point Ghost. The Cam or bust ends with Cal. Either he is in or out. If out let’s see what the young bucks can do.

Thanks EM. I think some of us old timers have a different expectation and hope. I’ve only missed a handful of home games since 1973 when I was a student. So have seen all the highs and lows. It’s been a fun ride. Fortunately there was no social media in the 70’s or we would have had a real reason to bitch. 2-5 win seasons against WAC oppon…[Read more]
