Redshirts don’t matter with the transfer portal. Redshirt or not, Wilson is either starting for us next fall or transferred out.

Because Whittingham has had a lot of shitty QB’s and can put up 31+ points on an even shittier Utah State team.

Can we beat OSU with Wilson? Sure. We beat USC with Barnes. We can beat anyone with Wilson. Would it be ugly and nasty and stressful and do we probably lose? If we played OSU this weekend, probably.

But Utah State? Utah State?!? Are…[Read more]

How does playing Wilson even the playing field?

We will still stomp them and this game won’t be close.

Oh no! We are only a three TD favorite!!! How will we survive!!! The end is nigh!!!!

Take the over.

This 100% confirms to me that another big shakeup is coming around 2028-2030. I am 99.99% convinced we won’t be in the Big 12 then. I’ve said this a million times, but I think this happens:

There is further consolidation. For Utah, this means we get into the Big 10 or we don’t. If we do get in, then we leave the Big 12 and join the Big 10. If we…[Read more]

I’ve been told by a little birdie that Rising has not practiced at all this week.

Whitt has said they would determine early in the week who would start so they could get the reps.

Mitchell has come out and stated that the RB’s need to step up and Utah’s goal is three RB’s to have 100 yards each rushing.

I think we have been told who is…[Read more]

Rising hasn’t practiced this week. He is telling us that Wilson is starting and that the RB’s need to step up and be Utah RB’s and give Wilson a chance to show off what he can do.

Yup, and if cleared and if Rising plays, Wilson will still play at least a half because we will absolutely destroy USU with Rising.

Wilson will be just fine. He has looked good out there. He went 7/11 vs SUU. That is about all you can ask for. He did make two bad throws, but young players with big arms do that. I’m ok with it.

As for the Baylor game…we shut it down, Baylor knew we shut it down, and Baylor sent the house every play and we did nothing to combat that. That’s…[Read more]

Nah, he doesn’t need a single snap to be ready to play vs OSU. Have you guys not watched him at all so far? He has about one game’s worth of stats:

18/29, 62%, 346 yards, 7 TD’s, 0 INT’s.

If you think that isn’t game ready…He has been lights out this year and absolutely humming. If not for a cheap hit, we are all talking about sitting him vs…[Read more]

This is a little…disingenuous. Yes, Wilson only put up 14 vs SUU, but he was playing with the scrubs and we didn’t open up the offense.

I mean, Wilson went 7/11 with a TD vs them. That is not bad. Even vs Baylor…he wasn’t as bad as everyone is saying he was. Aranda is a good DC and he basically sent the house every single play. That is…[Read more]

I love it.

I think we aren’t terrible at RB…at least not as bad as it feels. Bernard is averaging over 6 yards per carry. He is 100% doing his job. But we have no one behind them. I don’t know if we need to work on some quick screens/throws to supplement the run game, if another RB just needs to step up…

But we need one more dynamic to the…[Read more]

“And some of those things…are why you suck”

Fantastic.

I never disliked PAC-12 Colorado. But Big 12 Colorado? Ick. No thank you.

I agree. We don’t know if Rising will stay healthy and we need Wilson up and running. This will be an easy win, let Wilson have a full week of prep, his playbook and let him build some confidence for when we will need him later on in the year.

I am not the least bit scared of OSU. They have looked so pedestrian this year. Our defense will keep them to 14 points or less.

If Wilson plays, we win 24-13. If Rising plays, we win 42-10.

Vele would routinely get 5-9 catches a game.

I think Huard put it best:

You need high school recruits, you need to build within. BUT, not every kid pans out and you need to use “free agency” (transfers) to plug in holes you have at certain positions.

That is so true. You can’t ignore the transfer portal. But without those kids that have been there for 2-3 years, who know the system…you…[Read more]

Got Damn Philly! Bringing it. Love it.

Word

I’ve been attending Utah games for 25 years and Saturday was the hottest game I’ve ever been to. Felt like a freaking microwave in the stands.

I gave three of our tickets to a friend who was SO excited to bring his kids to their first Utah game, and they barely made it to halftime before having to bail out because both kids were feeling sick…[Read more]
