ProudUte replied to the topic First 3 Games Under/Over in the forum Football 2 months, 3 weeks ago
Interesting post. I see a few things that don’t fit in your over/under.
I think the 40 points per game seems about right. But, 1100 yards is less than 400 yards per game. If we score 40 points a game, I would think that we would average over 400 yards per game. If we have 850 yards passing per game, which seems about right, it would mean that…[Read more]

ProudUte replied to the topic CFP projection: Why Kansas State is in, Utah out after training camp in the forum Football 2 months, 3 weeks ago
Yeah, in my perfect world – Utah and Kstate go undefeated and play each other in the CC game. I don’t see it happening, but it would be fun.

ProudUte replied to the topic Are you ready to drink the Kool-Aid? in the forum Football 2 months, 3 weeks ago
I agree to a point. But, the Florida game in 2022 was a bad game for Cam Rising. He was simply off-target (low) on many passes. It is one of his worst games as a Ute IMO and we still almost figured out a way to win.
I am optimistic (not convinced yet) that we will have a great season. We have 6 good tight ends and the best WR group in Whitt’s…[Read more]

Solid competition for Myles. This would be a huge get, more because it shows that we can compete with the big guys.

ProudUte started the topic Detailed article on our offense in the forum Football 2 months, 3 weeks ago
This is a detailed article about our offense. It mentions each position group and many of the players. Ludwig sounds very optimistic. He mentions playing the 14 set with 4 tight ends. He makes it sound like Lohner will be a key component in our offense.
He said this about Rising:
“If there’s rust — sometimes we talk about, ‘…[Read more]

Couldn’t happen to a better man. Quote from Alex:
“Utah football has always been and will always be a part of my family and I, and having the honor to be a permanent part of Rice-Eccles Stadium is something I will cherish for the rest of my life,” Smith said in a statement. “A Utah Man Am I forever.”
He is a great advocate for…[Read more]

They had a good segment on Caleb Lohner. The coaches say that he has an amazing athletic body and is learning fast. I suspect we will see him on the field in some situations, especially in the red zone.
They interviewed Spencer Fano. Wow, he is big. You would expect him to be big since he plays offensive tackle. But, this kid has some broad…[Read more]

Thanks, OnlyU. I love your posts, and you have typically been spot-on. I agree with your assessment and am excited for the 2024 season. I am quite sure that we will be good. How good? I don’t yet know. I hope we are amazing and stay undefeated.

ProudUte replied to the topic Stop saying Utah doesn't live up to preseason hype. in the forum Football 2 months, 4 weeks ago
I have not seen a post about being overhyped. I did post about drinking the Kool-Aid. That has nothing to do with being overhyped, just not yet totally convinced that we have all the positon groups addressed.
Actually, I think our ranking in both polls is just about right. So, no, not overhyped.

Your points about Whitt are spot on. He wants this to be the team …
MD, I love your optimism.

Are you saying Damuni will play this season? I thought he would not be able to play.

ProudUte started the topic My subjective pre-season grades by position group in the forum Football 2 months, 4 weeks ago
I mentioned in an earlier post that it is easy to be optimistic during fall camp because everyone seems to look good in practice. That being said, here are my subjective grades for each position group.
QB (A-) The only reason this is not an A is because we have yet to see if Cam is the same player he was two years ago.
WR (A) We are hearing…[Read more]

OnlyU has posted some positive things about our RB room. He often mentions Mitchell as being a key player on our team this season.
By the way, I like Bernard a lot. I just don’t see him as a 25-carry per game kind of guy. People are saying Glover is lighter and looking much better. But, this is what I said in my initial post that I wonder if…[Read more]

ProudUte replied to the topic Are you ready to drink the Kool-Aid? in the forum Football 2 months, 4 weeks ago
No, it was hyperbole when I said that the media said they could win the conference. However, a month or two ago they were saying that the max they would win this season is 4. This week, I heard some local radio guys say that they may win 8 games based on what they have heard and seen from camp. As I posted, everyone seems to be optimistic…[Read more]

OnlyU had posted some updates that have to make any Utah fan excited including me. He makes it sound like we are solid at RB, Oline, and safety. We knew we had an experienced QB, studs at LB, deep Dline, etc. So, it would be easy to drink the Kool-Aid.
I trust OnlyU as much as anyone. But, everything always seems to sound great during camp…[Read more]
