Tough crowd. Would love to hear the thought process from those who disagree. Having Clemson, FSU, Miami and even Notre Dame on the schedule would do more for our brand nationwide then anything we have now. I love Oklahoma State and would love for them to come too, but they are locked in to the Big XII thanks to the 99 year exit penalty.

100%. But getting the best team from the Big XII would be a big enough victory that I think they would pay full freight.

Utes Rushing YRDS – 155 (OVER)
Utes Passing YRDS – 240 (OVER)
Lohner Targets – 1 (OVER)
Singer Catches – 4 (OVER)
Bernard TDs – 2 (UNDER)
Utah Sacks – 2 (UNDER)

Ok State Rushing YRDS- 120 (OVER)
Ok State Passing YRDS – 300 (UNDER)
Ok State 3rd down % – 30% (UNDER)
Bowman Interceptions – 1 (OVER)

It doesn’t benefit the team for this to be public knowledge.

Moving back to the PAC would be a disastrous decision. I would, however, consider a move to the ACC if several conditions were met.

1. Florida State and Clemson were not going anywhere. It sounds like there may be a settlement in place that makes that likely.

2. Utah is guaranteed at least one home game every year against one of Miami, Clemson,…[Read more]

The PAC 12 was a perfect conference. And if saying that rubs Big XII fans wrong, particularly the remaining original members, I will point out to them that the original Big XII was a perfect conference as well. Significantly better than what it is now.

If we can’t have that, then I would love for Utah to be in a 24-team Big 10, with 3 eight team…[Read more]

Keep your eyes on Tulane, South Florida and Gonzaga next.

Halleluiah!

YES! When you are right, you are right!

I loved watching USC win tonight. These are our people, folks. Utah going 7-7 vs. USC since joining the PAC is glorious. I will cheer for every former PAC team to succeed. ASU, UA, don’t matter.

We will be reunited with USC, UCLA, Oregon and Washington again (probably Stanford as well).

Lets do a fun little thought experiment:

Team A: 39 total carries, 185 yards, 4.7 YPC.

Team B: 38 total carries, 127 yards, 3.3 YPC.

The commentary for one of these teams was:

“Looks pretty formidable. I didn’t see the whole game but the touchdown runs schemes looked pretty sophisticated.”

The commentary for the was:

“Always alarming when w…[Read more]

Bernard had an avg. of 6.6 yards a carry. He didn’t play a single snap in the second half. Glover should have had 23 yards on 5 carries (4.6 yards a carry), but Coach Whit accepted an offsides penalty on an 8 yard carry from Glover. Half of Mitchell’s carries came in the second half with the 2s or 3s. Stanley was a revelation. I am not saying we…[Read more]

I would love to see Ludwig use Miki as a FB, similar to how Norm used Shawn Asiata a decade…and a half ago.

Man time just flies by.

I just want a defensive shutout again. I want the D to send a message to everyone else in the conference that points and yards will not come easy against Utah. The best d in this conference outside of Texas last year was okay and we would consider it a rebuilding year. I want Big 12 fans to start feeling something of an inevitability when it comes…[Read more]

You’re just a realist? What makes you think you are so smart that you have some inside track to what reality is or will be in the future?

You are not a realist. You are a pessimist with an over inflated sense of your understanding of reality.

Dude let it go already.

Yes. That is a good thing. All three will be effective this year. So will Stanley. You are WAY to worried about the RBs. They will be better as a group than last year or even the year before that (when we won the PAC 12). Part of that is due to Cam being back, part of that is due to the Oline, part of that is due to the talent and maturity of the…[Read more]

I am not sure. Apparently the social medias are talking about it.

The Church is going to use this to as a vehicle to bring in a lot of international students from more impoverished countries with the goal of sending them back to their country of origin with a high quality of medical training to improve health outcomes for populations in need. That doesn’t mean there won’t be local students as well. You can try…[Read more]
