I can’t defend 53% completion and I agree with making the change to Huntley, but actually I think the current o line functions better with a qb like Williams who stays in the pocket more. They seem to be struggling to block the rpo correctly which is Huntley’s big threat, leaving him too exposed. They have a lot to clean up for next year for sure.

With how he was playing against our first 3 cupcake opponents? I like Tyler and his potential a lot, but I don’t think he beats arguably the best opponents we’ve played just because he looked good against tds. I just don’t think you can replace pac 12 experience. I think you can fairly say that had Tyler played usc/Stanford, he probably has a bet…[Read more]

We’ll have to agree to disagree on that. Huntley’s decision making will assuredly improve with time and experience, but I have zero doubt that Troy doesn’t throw 4 picks against each ASU and wazzu. 

This is not true. The Arizona schools were invited to the pac in 1978. ASU won first in 1986, and it took until 1993 for Arizona. So Utah is still on schedule with other schools that have joined. I don’t think it’s a fair comparison for CU because they came to the pac from another p5.

I can easily see how Utah beats any one or all of asu, wazzu, or Oregon with williams. Even though Huntley is a more naturally gifted athlete and has a higher ceiling, you can’t replace experience and the resulting better decision making. I can understand why the coaches made the decision they did to play him this year for a payoff in the f…[Read more]

I like Troy Williams but yeah, Gunther especially is waaaay out of line on this issue. I wish they would replace him with Ben Andersen who does the postgame show. He is so much easier to listen to. I like Tom but only as a funny sidekick type. 

I think BGU is being a smart ass. Even though I like Whit, I for some reason like BGU too. I’m very conflicted.

Yeah, terrible kick off time. But I will be there!

This year? Nah. Next year? Yes.

Oh for sure, I don’t think he is on the hot seat according to the people that matter, just in the imaginations of some fans.

I’ve had the exact same experience, both in the US and abroad. Mormonism is met with mostly negativity in my experience, and mention of SLC always conjures up mormonism. (Even though SLC is really no longer very Mormon lol).I’d be willing to bet the culture is a bigger factor than the snow.

I agree with you that slc should be easier to recruit to than Pullman and a few other places in the pac 12, but certainly slc is probably still toward the bottom as far as destinations in the pac 12.

I think another problem is that Utah doesn’t pay assistants as highly as other schools. So it’s more difficult for him to find and retain qua…[Read more]

I think utah matches up better with UW than with wazzu, but yes, it could get ugly. 🙈

Movement on the lines, with at least one house favoring Utah now. I feel less confident with the news that chase, dc, agasiva, and Hughes are out though. 😢

Ouch, that is awful news. 

Agreed. I was responding to sweetness to encourage him/her. I think this team has a good shot. 

The transitive property never works in these situations. By that logic we had no business losing to Oregon who lost handily to ucla who we creamed. That said, this will be a tough test but I feel good about it. I painted my toenails turquoise, Utah didn’t shave, and Tony is going to the tailgate the guardsman way. 

Uw is good but not as good as they were last year. It’s better they lose to Stanford than get embarrassed again by Bama later.

I agree with much of this, but I don’t actually think it was Whit that needed the middle finger but rather the panic-stricken fans after the Oregon game. I do like to think Whit is wise enough to understand this offense couldn’t be installed seamlessly in a single season, and he was ready to take the lumps this season for a payoff next year.
