Thanks Miami for your insight on the acl injury time frame. I’m sure it varies and I don’t have enough knowledge for a solid opinion. But the reliable source I have said he doesn’t think he’ll play at all this year. If his knee is cleared for full use it must be healed? Am I off base? Therefore it has to be something else?

It’s been confusing that the doctors have cleared him to fully practice for the last couple weeks. Then his surgeon has to clear him. Don’t they communicate? If a knee is fully healed then cleared for contact is a personal choice. Football is a violent sport nobody would play if they were worried about contact.

Rumor has been he’s not ready…[Read more]

Yesterday I was told by a reliable source that Cam may not play at all. I kind of blew it off because I can’t believe he wouldn’t play if healthy.

Now Miami Ute and others are hearing the same rumbling. I hope he plays but not so optimistic anymore. If he is out does he get the NIL money?

Interesting. I guess some of the posters who keep saying OSU is overrated might be underestimating them. We have had no offense this year so hopefully this is the week to improve. I’ll take the Utes and 4 1/2. Could come down to field goal ouch.

I’m looking at the line. Was +3 now +3 1/2. If cam was playing it could be a pk game. I don’t think he plays they always seem to know more than us.

Interesting BYU was -2 1/2 Monday and I jumped on that thinking it would go to -3 or more. Now Cincy is -2. That’s a 4 1/2 pt swing?

Golfed yesterday with the Aggie PA announcer for football and basketball for 27 years. Great guy and friend. Been to several Aggie bball games with him. I always root for them.

Nothing wrong with being an Aggie. I hope get to experience the same as me.

Congratulations Ute 2 on the new baby girl!! I remember my second daughter being born and the Utah -Wyoming game on the tv. Dates me a little as I now have granddaughters. I was so lucky to have two great daughters. My oldest daughter who just turned 40 has been going to Utah football games with me for over 20 years and still going strong as my 13…[Read more]

It’s a testament to our culture. Good character hard working and want to help the team win. Unlike the 70’s when the refrigerator was the weight room and 16 oz coors were the weights.

Lighten up chinn. Great points on the RB situation but the Cam kriptonite was for a laugh!! Yes we got three wins but two were at home. Winning on the road is much harder.

Great points!! Great qbs don’t grow on trees. Without JJ we don’t have a power running attack. Big difference between JJs 4 yards and Glovers 2 yards on our three up the middle plays. Also losing Bernard’s ability to be a dependable blocker and outlet for the qb. Perfect storm for a failing offense.

Curry could help if healthy. We are so close…[Read more]

I agree Proud Ute. Whitt knew we had an elite defense. He knew Barnes could fill in for a game or two. He knew the two young qbs are not ready for this crazy good schedule. I think he went all in on Cam. I’m sure he is second guessing himself.

He probably sees potential in NJ and Rose. I think losing them to the portal is also on his mind. I…[Read more]

I think beating OSU with the current state of our offense would be a huge victory. We are in prime position to lose. Pulling a W would be a big team effort and spring board us forward.

A loss certainly doesn’t illuminate us. Yes it could be a dagger to the CCG.

Everyone is right nobody is wrong. Great thoughtful posts on ute hub. My hat is off to all of you!! Bottom line if we lose to OSU our hopes of a three peat will end. OSU is much better than you think. Our offense is not good period without JJ and Cam. Sad but true.

We are a good quarterback away from a possible three peat. That’s what makes it so hard. Watching the penn state qb (six year senior) dissect our blitzes and change plays at the line and make us pay during the rose bowl. Shows how an average qb with lots of game experience can make a huge difference.

Cam is capable to make the defense pay for b…[Read more]

Narf you couldn’t be more wrong. My older brother was with me!!

Ucla played right in to our defense by passing from the pocket. Our D ends Ellis and Fano are extremely quick and hard to pass block.

OSU is a power run first offense. UCLA didn’t have a power running attack. We havent faced a team with power running game (supposed to be Baylor strength). We also haven’t faced a scrambling out of the pocket QB.…[Read more]

Homer back then we were the must instead of the muss. Must come a game once a year. Brownie Van Galder was a must see QB. Lol

OSU will run at our D ends and try to wear them down. Fano and Ellis are a bit under sized. Their RB’s are big and run physical. Hopefully we get Van and Otoole back for some depth.

Our QB struggles to throw downfield (or maybe it’s the coaching staff that struggles). Our RBs Glover and now Vincent are undersized. We need JJ and Cam to win thi…[Read more]
