Well said Nashville. We should all be proud.

Yes but not a starter.

As per Whitt who ever is playing will get all the practice snaps before Thursday. Drones have been hovering.

I think we only lose Broughton on defense. Get Cam and Kuithe the medical year. All but one offensive lineman back. Pick up a couple portal wr’s. Easier league next year and expanded playoff.

Once in a lifetime chance to get to the final four. Whitt retires and I spend the last of my retirement going to playoff games. Almost perfect scenario. U…[Read more]

Nice find Yerg. He has been outstanding! Didn’t know he switched over. He’s a good one. With Snowden and the other freshman cb we are talented and set for awhile

That’s true. Also if the qb can identify the blitz and change the play at the line. A lot to ask of a freshman qb. Same cat and mouse game we’ll do to the Cal freshman qb.

Get the ball to tight end as a safety net. That’s what Cam did last year.

Randle is 6’0 176 lbs. Unless he runs a 4.3-4.4 40 we drop down to 1 yard and a cloud of dust. Seems like we don’t change the offense to spread the field and utilize our speed and lack of size.

Offense is designed for Cam and JJ. Backups have completely different skill sets. Maybe Randle will surprise us. I don’t see NJ and Randle being able…[Read more]

Why have a depth chart? Just say everyone is a game time decision !! Even better list Bottari as your starter and Howard as backup. Then Cal would have to prepare for two more QBs to stack the box and blitz.

I’m joking of course but our secrecy about injuries has gone way overboard.

Brandon Dunes in Oregon. 4 of 5 courses.

Brings back memories from 1970’s. Thanks Miami

I think we need the theme from Mash to run out on to field against Cal with a white flag. A special year derailed by injuries. These players and coaches have worked hard to get ready for a big year. They deserve better.

He played a good game against Cal. He has good energy and passion. He was like a kid in a candy shop. He was having fun and playing loose. I found myself cheering for him.

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
