First, it isn’t as simple as you a lot of people are saying. San Diego did not pressure Cam like they did Brewer.  They basically backed off and dared us to beat them.  2nd, Our O-line really hasn’t been as bad as everyone has made them out to be, until tonight.  3rd, Our DL plays very uninspired STILL.   They picked it up in the 2nd half, but…[Read more]

First, we were outcoached.  Kalani’s OC and DC owned Scally and Ludwig
My chief complaint on Lugwig during his first stance here was his inability to account for 1st down pressure.  This showed again tonight.  He couldn’t adjust.  A tight end sweep, WR bubble screen, end around all could have lessened the pressure BYU was getting yet we did…[Read more]

My son played keeper in HS and was offered over 20 scholys coming out.  I only say that to point out that I’ve watch a lot of amateur soccer games in my life and paid particular attention to the defensive side of the game for obvious reasons.  Having said that, I do not claim to be a soccer expert, thus my question……
I normally don’t like to…[Read more]

The kick game.
 
Punts were shallow and he seemed to take a long time getting them off.  
2 FG attempts both missed.  
Someone fill me in as to why I shouldn’t be concerned.  
Otherwise, looking at the little things, this was the best spring games I’ve seen to date and I’ve been attending forwever.  I’m…[Read more]

I just don’t get it.  WTH are these kids thinking.  To date, I just don’t see any of them ending up in better places or positions to make it to the next level.  
Sad to see him go, but even sadder because I think it’ll be a decision he quickly regrets and one that will affect his life.
Go Utes!

the contribution of Enis.  No he wasn’t targetted much this game, but the blocking that guy laid out today was special.  He was a beast.  

Remember Z. Moss’ freshman year, 4th and goal last play of the game and he runs straight into the back of his lineman instead of waiting for the hole to develop.  He later commented that he should have been Patient.  He is now one of the most paitent backs out there.
Good RB’s understand this patience.  Our RB’s have not yet figured this out,…[Read more]

First, they actually get to play, even if it’s just a few games
Second, I have zero aspirations of a conference championship due to our youth
Third, I will enjoy immensly watching the young guys develope and grow
Look forward to these guys kicking some A along the way to a seriously good year in 2 or 3.

I believe that would be considered the greatest comeback ever!  Personally I love the guy, but he’s nuts.  

Earlier today I just watched the replay of the ’13 Utah OSU OT game.  T Wilson was a gamer.  He made mistakes and his arm mechanics were not good.  But that guy balled out for the Utes.  I will always respect him for that.

I thought I would start a thread of something we could all participate in and laugh at ourselves at the same time.  Please share a funny story from your youth involving sports.
I will share two short ones.
I was 12, playing baseball (right field).  My older brother was an assistant coach on the team.  He was always yelling at me for staring at…[Read more]

This is the 5th time total I have asked you…. you claim to not be a troll, please point to one positive post you have ever made about the football program.  If you’re a fan at all, there should at least be one.  

61 in P5 conferences (if I counted correctly).  Only 10 of those got to play in their conference championship.  Only 5 won.  
In other words, Utah finished in the top 16%.
We all know what could’ve been and IMHO what should’ve been.  But to sit here and endlessly complain about one aspect of what our coaching staff responsabilities is…[Read more]

We have a top 10 program that has yet to be tested
a top 10 coach that has great talent under him
a top 10 venue that is only going to get better
a very involved AD that is only trying to take what he’s hearing and improve upon it 
 
Yet all I see on SM is complaints.  The offense is boring, the drink lines too long, the sun too hot, the…[Read more]

I’ve obviously missed something, but what happened to Green?  Haven’t seen him on the depth charts and I thought he showed a lot of potential last year.  

I have to take my hat off to Bernard.  Not only is he playing well, but on that pick 6, I fully expected him to taunt or over celebrate or somehow earn a 15 yard unsportsmanlike mainly due to his history with the Y.  I know for me, in his shoes, I probably would have been overly tempted.  But he kept his composer and celebrated it with class and…[Read more]
