It was a bad Baylor game for sure… but given our road struggles, the general weirdness of opening games and the invigorating nature of a new QB, they’re absolutely still a threat. Like you said, it reminds you of Utah 2021…which turned out pretty good for us.

Here’s some cases of P5 teams losing to a FCS or G5 school in their opener over the…[Read more]

Neither of these takes are true. I’m sure there are a few delusional enough to think BYU can come in and win the Big 12, but there are delusional dumb fans in every fanbase. There are fans I know who think BYU will win 10 games this year (or at least they did before yesterday). But that’s the exception.

However, it’s also not true that most…[Read more]

This same article says

“For 32 years from 1982 to 2014, Lane Stadium [Virginia Tech] also had the highest elevation for a college football stadium in the U.S.”

I’m thinking it might not be the most well-researched article out there

So I can’t help but feel nobody has addressed the most interesting part of this

Said Barnes is the starter now, but Johnson has gained a lot of ground in the last few days.

Does that mean that Johnson is still a possibility to overtake Barnes?

Honestly, stuff like this doesn’t take a ton of time. Less than people think it does. But it’s kind of fun

He hasn’t yet earned himself a spot on the roster. As a UDFA, he was a longshot to make the roster to begin with. He’s played very well though (not just in games, but also in practices) and has been good on special teams, which is very important for a depth LB.

At this point, I’d argue that he’s played his way onto the bubble – which is an…[Read more]

There’s huge variety in ACL injuries and recoveries. Amari Rodgers tore his on March 26, 2019 while at Clemson, and was back dominating on the field in less than 6 months (167 days after his tear). He played well enough to be drafted early

JK Dobbins tore his ACL in the 2021 preseason (August 28 2021) and then spent the next entire year+…[Read more]

Oh yeah. I post both here and on CougarBoard. Grew up a Utah fan, went to BYU so am interested in both.

Wrote it up there (formatting is generally easier over there), but then thought it could be useful here so copied it over with all the html tags…most of which worked well, but a few needed to be modifed

Gleaned by looking at the 53 man roster projections for each team from various local writers

Nope, I did. Will update

I don’t think Huntley is really in any danger of losing the backup role. Josh Johnson is clearly not the answer. I’d chalk it up to coachspeak and not wanting to tell Johnson and 2nd year player Anthony Brown that they’re not getting consideration for either of the top 2 spots.

Most recent data I have for BYU is 2019-2020 academic year. That year they had $72M in athletics revenue, 26% of which came from ticket sales, meaning $18.7M in ticket sales
(see https://kslsports.com/437719/byu-revenue-expenses-athletics/)

Meanwhile Utah in that same season had $18.5M in ticket sales. (see…[Read more]

Technically, Arizona is on MST all year. Utah and others are on MST (Mountain Standard Time) half the year and MDT (Mountain Daylight Time) half the year, which is an hour ahead.

Similarly California spends half the year on PST and half in PDT…which is the same time as MST.

So it’s technically correct to say Arizona is on MST the whole…[Read more]

As a true freshman he had 7 catches for 82 yards…which isn’t amazing but is a good start.

The next season he was basically suspended the entire year which is why he didn’t put up numbers.

Funny thing is that particular account is a BYU fan just trying to make Utah look bad

I don’t generally subscribe to the “blame everything bad in your fanbase on imposters”…but I’m pretty sure that one actually is. Created right after a discussion on CougarBoard of Utah as the SchrUTES and early comments were clearly over the top

That said,…[Read more]

There’s going to be more realignment in ~5 or 6 years, and certainly before that happens. For now we’re in a great spot and should be glad…but also know that anyone outside the Power 2 isn’t completely safe.

Best we can do for now is to keep playing well, building a brand and viewership and position ourselves to eventually be competitive for…[Read more]
