Sweetness replied to the topic Athlon Utah Football Game-by-Game Predictions in the forum Football 7 years, 4 months ago
UteThunder has some valid concerns, but a couple things he is missing that I think are important and why I’m not real worried about the skill positions we are losing.
Cornerbacks: Despite having one of the top DLs in the country and two all conference safeties, we finished 8th in the conference in pass defense. Truth of the matter is that our…[Read more]

That’s awesome! Just getting into drone flying myself. I bought a DJI phantom and am loving it.

Sweetness started the topic 4th and 1 podcast in the forum Football 7 years, 10 months ago
Listened to Andy Phillips and Tom Hackett’s podcast for the first time tonight. It is awesome! They’re brutally honest about the program, give some great insight into the coaches, players, and Tom is hilarious! I don’t know if it’s been mentioned much on this board or not, but I haven’t seen it getting a lot of run on twitter, so I figured I would…[Read more]

Andy Phillips and Tom Hackett’s podcast is awesome! Gave it a listen for the first time tonight and I strongly recommend it for Ute fans. They’re brutally honest about the program, and Hackett is hilarious. Don’t know if it’s been discussed on this board or not, but definitely worth your time. It’s legitimately the best Utah football podcast I’ve…[Read more]

Sweetness replied to the topic How bad did the Washington loss really hurt our Rose Bowl chances? in the forum Football 8 years ago
Obviously if UW does end up in the playoff it could hurt rose bowl chances, but it could really hurt us if UW is left out and we lose to colorado. In that scenario, it could be sun or vegas bowl for a 3rd straight year.
Say, CU loses to WSU next week, UW beats WSU, USC & Stanford win out and we lose to Colorado.
In this scenario we end up at…[Read more]

Sweetness replied to the topic Another reason a good finish and a rose bowl would be massive for this program in the forum Football 8 years ago
Totally agree. You can’t overstate how big this upcoming three week stretch is for the program. 3 wins and a trip to the championship game + rose bowl would be huge for recruiting. We also need to take advantage of the south being a little down. USC is looking like they could get rolling again. UCLA has been a recruiting powerhouse, and you have…[Read more]

Sweetness replied to the topic Will Washington be the only ranked team from the Pac 12 after today? in the forum Football 8 years ago
I think Utah will stay ranked. I doubt they drop more than 2-3 spots. I’m actually really curious to see where they are in the playoff rankings. Probably about where they are, but I could see them being a little higher.
My guess is USC will be ranked after this week.

Sweetness replied to the topic UCLA is a swing game for the season in the forum Football 8 years, 1 month ago
I feel like this game is huge. IF we can get through the next two games 1-1, we’ll still control our own destiny and have a bye week to get healthy and gear up for the final three game stretch. Win those three and we’ll clinch the south.
This game does scare the crap out of me though. Regardless of whether Rosen plays. Their backup really found…[Read more]

Sweetness replied to the topic Troy Williams Completion Percentages in the forum Pac-12 8 years, 1 month ago
I didn’t mean to be pessimistic. I think Troy is money. Certainly the Oregon State game as a whole needs to be thrown out, but I felt like I first noticed several uncharacteristic throws against Cal (remember the screen pass that was supposed to go to fulks that bounced like three yards in front of him?) and it continued vs AZ, and then obviously…[Read more]

Here are Troy’s completion percentages for the yearSUU: 57%BYU: 61%SJSU: 71%USC: 62%Cal: 56%AZ: 44%OSU: 31% I hope (and I believe this to be the case) that Troy is more the qb we saw the first 4 games of the year as opposed to the last 3. I feel like he’s missed a lot more throws the last few weeks than he did to start the season. He’s definitely…[Read more]

Sweetness started the topic Bat Signal in the forum Football 8 years, 1 month ago
Did anyone catch the bat signal from Guy Holliday on twitter? Sounds like we got a new commit and from his hashtags it was from texas. We had two receivers on a visit from Texas this week. Does anyone know who it was that committed?

Sweetness replied to the topic Lot of people saying we need to relax about this loss but…. in the forum Football 8 years, 1 month ago
The good news is we have Arizona and Oregon state coming up, and if we can get past those we should be getting some of these guys back for what will be a huge game against UCLA. This hurts because the game at the end basically got served to us on a silver platter and we couldn’t take it. That being said, the fact we were even in this game was a…[Read more]

Sweetness replied to the topic Stanford and Washington in the forum Football 8 years, 1 month ago
I was not real impressed with Washington last week. I think Stanford wins, but it will be close. I haven’t been real impressed with Stanford either though, so I don’t know what to think. I think both are good teams, but the more I watch the conference this year the more I believe the narrative that there really isn’t a great team in the league. I…[Read more]

Sweetness started the topic Recruiting in the forum Football 8 years, 1 month ago
I’m starting to get a little concerned that we currently only have 4 commits for 2017, and two of which are twins that don’t hold any other D-1 offers, and their hudl highlights were not overly impressive. I’m surprised after the past two years and positive momentum to start the season we haven’t seen a few more commits coming in. It sounds like…[Read more]

Sweetness started the topic 5 down lineman front in the forum Football 8 years, 2 months ago
I’m curious to hear what others think about the 5-1-5/5-2-4 formation Scalley has been using. I’ve rewatched both the BYU and SUU game and thus far it has been getting killed. I almost want to chart the game and put some numbers behind it to see if it really is as bad as I think it is. We were in that formation on all except one play for the BYU…[Read more]
