“Am I being a downer for no reason?”

Yes.

I still believe the single, most important move made in the off season is Guy Holiday.

I think our entire receiving corp is vastly improved and there are 3 or 4 guys who can get open now.

W10 Row 48.
My seats are on the 20 yard line but my wife likes our old pals on the other aisle so I’m on the 8 yard line wishing I was closer to the middle. 🙁

Travis fumbled twice late in the game. Otherwise, I thought he looked good. 7/10 with 1 drop. Throws were a mix of screens, outs, and crossing routes. Made a really good read on a naked bootleg for a first down.
It was all under center stuff which he’s never played.
He won’t get drafted but I wouldn’t be surprised to see him in an NFL camp this summer.

I don’t want to play those douchebags ever again, FWIW.

I don’t see how he is embarrassing the U but I know that is being hashed out in the other thread.

Man, you’re really worried about this aren’t you?
I can’t see KW going to BYU. He is on the precipice of breaking through in the PAC and he knows it. I think he stays.
And if he doesn’t Chris Hill will find someone else and we’ll all be in at RES next September cheering them on.

This coaching staff has not been able to coach a QB.
We’ve had talented enough kids, Travis Wilson included.
I would bet my house that Alex Smith, coached by this offensive staff, would be selling insurance or writing mortgage loans today.
Terrance Cain was hosed. He was 7-1 as a starter. Only loss was by 7 @ Autzen. Statistically, he was equal to…[Read more]

To me this is no more bothersome that the USC rumors.
BYU is his alma mater so it is conceivable he might want to “come home”. People do things that don’t always make sense. But I don’t know what he’s done to fuel the speculation. I’ve only heard him say “I’d listen”.
Rick Majerus used to do this every single year. He would express interest and…[Read more]

He says ‘it is a lot easier than it sounds”.

Worst-case, he has played a lot of Guard and Hiva Lutui is a capable Center.

And he was a 4-star recruit with offers from half the PAC including UCLA and USC.

Lutui is no slouch.

And he was a 4-star recruit with offers from almost everyone in the PAC.

Lutui is no slouch.

Sometimes less is more

I stayed up until 2AM Saturday. I feel OK today but yesterday was a struggle to keep my eyes open.

I agree. I went back to the play by play and between the time we went up 14-0 to the WSU TD to make it 28-27 Utah ran 27 pass plays and 32 run plays.

Great. I’m in charge of the food this week for my group so I’ll be busy over on Row L but I’ll break away for a visit.

What time will you be up there, Tony?

Soph at the U

The kids don’t call it Thirsty Thursday for nothing!

Our game there in 2011 sucked.
But then we beat them by 3 touchdowns in 2012 at Rice-Eccles. Of course we had 1 TD by the defense and two KO returns for TDs.
Besides Special Teams I think the key will be getting pressure on Goff. I don’t think he’s effective under pressure.
If you look at the games they lost last year it was against teams that…[Read more]
