Hell yeah brother!!!

Look at our three losses: @Florida, @UCLA, @Oregon. All close games (maybe not too close with UCLA), all on the road. Look at Alabama when they played Texas on the road: They almost lost. It’s hard to go on the road and win. It’s really hard.

I think that is why seeing the schedule is so important here. Utah has been a very, very young team the…[Read more]

Man, that is harsh. We basically bring back the same team that has won the PAC-12 two years in a row and you put them at 7 wins? Yikes. If that’s the case, it’s time for Whitt to retire and Scalley to move on because this team would have gotten complacent. Or tons of injuries.

My predicted growth for Utah:

QB: Better or worse. If Rising is…[Read more]

TCU looked in the mirror, realized that they had a problem, went and hired Dykes and now are playing for a national title.

I don’t think we should move on from Whitt. I don’t think we should move on from any coaches. BUT, I do think we have a problem with the QB and WR room. And Utah has to figure out how to fix that problem.

Washington State can get WR’s. Arizona can get WR’s. BYU can get WR’s.

It is very fair to assume we can get WR’s. We are a better program than all those teams. I don’t believe for one second you either throw the ball or run the ball. Look at how many catches our players had this…[Read more]

IF Johnson wasn’t ready to play vs Penn St, you need Rising back desperately. With Rising, you have a shot at the playoffs. Without rising you are going with Barnes or a transfer QB and that is so risky. And if Barnes wins the job, I’m not sure you are bowling next year.

Utah’s starting QB next fall will be Rising or a transfer with a tiny, tiny…[Read more]

This. Not having Johnson ready to go in a game in January is on the coaches.

QBR takes into account how much your plays helped the team win/lose.

A 90 yard TD is not a 90 yard TD. A 90 yard TD with 70 yards in the air down 7 points is worth a lot more than a 2 yard screen that the receiver takes for 90 yards when you are up 21.

The reality is, we were in a competitive game when Barnes came into the game and he lost us…[Read more]

We were down our #1 RB, our #1 and #2 TE’s (who were also our #1 and #2 receivers). We were down our top DE and CB. Then once Rising went down, we were sunk.

We also, for some reason, keep playing our best RB in a backup role. That I don’t understand.

And then Scalley…the dude forgot he had a game or something. Sheesh. Penn St made…[Read more]

I love Whitt. LOVE Whitt. I honestly believe the program will take a step back when Whitt leaves. I really like Scalley, but I’d rather he be a HC somewhere else before taking over Utah. And I think he will struggle as he learns to be a HC. BUT, that is neither here nor there. The point is, when Whitt leaves, we probably struggle, that is how…[Read more]

Folks I think this is what a coaching tree looks like. Congrats to Pouha. We were just fine.

Totally! But I wanted to see how the new homepage worked as well..

Nice avatar. Happy birthday Spencer!

Losing to Liberty as the Zoovs, that’s gotta smart
