press-on

Visualize this and choose (has a lot, perhaps everything to do with our current situation):

Imagine you are an exceptionally talented 4 or 5 star high school football recruit whose offer sheet you have whittled (no pun intended) down to Utah and Oregon. Which program do you choose?

Oregon! Sorry guys, but that’s the reality.. and IT IS what…[Read more]

In Retrospect with a couple of days .. There is an opportunity for some reflections. It’s ugly!!

1) Rising (Before Knee Injury): Good decision maker. Average+ arm, but able to make plays with his legs.
Following surgery there should have been a consultation with Rising (and Whitt) and the Surgery Team as to prognosis for full healing,…[Read more]

Fellow Utes, what’s your take?

What about this weekend’s playbook switch-a-roo? Certainly fuels hope… but feels a bit to me like a desperate “I don’t know what to do” move. (Hope not) Is Bajakian the answer for this offense? Maybe. Hope so. Or is he just an intern guy. Who knows? Whitt has closed most of the communication doors with the…[Read more]

“The positive is we know exactly where our problem lies.”
“There is no mystery as to what our issues are.”
“There will be some tough decisions made in the next 24 to 48 hours.” Post game comments by Whittingham to
SL Tribune.

Can’t hardly wait till Monday or Tuesday to see the New Look Winning Utes!!

According to BETMGM Vegas betting site, the Utes are a -4.5 (-110) point favorite to defeat TCU this weekend.
This implies 67.8% confidence the Utes will prevail.

Not set in stone but worthy of enthusiasm. See you at the game!

Been thinking a lot about turnovers. How Whit pounds into the team the concept of ball security and not turning the ball over. His reasoning is correct on every level. And we all know the reasons. Field position; game momentum; psychological affects on your team; changing the completion of the game; etc.

But what about a different type of…[Read more]

It’s tough to watch a once dominant football program falling flat on its face!
It’s tough to watch a once amazing QB return (injured) as a shadow of his former self.
It’s tough to watch a once superior Coaching staff stumble around with calls and decisions like Keystone Cops.
It’s tough to watch a once proud defense give up plays like a…[Read more]

AN HONEST ASSESSMENT ABOUT ANALYTICS AND IT’S RELEVANCE TO THE GAME

LOOK, the genius of football is that it is a very simple game. You run. You throw. You execute or you don’t.
Your speed, it’s either faster or slower. You jump higher or lower. You are stronger or less. You react quicker or not. Your technique is better or worse. These are…[Read more]

As it turns out a bit more light is now available on the ‘The Data Analytics’ our coaches use.

Whit: “Alright, what do you think? Go or chip shot FG.”
Lud: “What are the analytics?”
Whit: “OK. Who’s flipping the coin?” “Is that you, Cam”?
Cam: “Right, Coach. Got it right here.”
Whit: “OK, what’d you got?”
Cam: “Heads, Coach”. Heads was…[Read more]
