  • Football camp starts in less than 10 days. OnlyU, is there anything new and exciting that you can share with us.

    If you can’t tell – I am anxious for football season to start.

  • There was a time back in the day that I enjoyed college/NBA basketball and major league baseball. I have never been much of a hockey or soccer fan. I watch golf if Tony Finau is in the mix.

    In the end, for me it’s college football, local high school football, some NFL (mostly former Utes). After that, I have not watched a total of 10 hours of…[Read more]

  • We should have a number of transfers who will play big roles in our 2024 football season, i.e., Singer, Lyons, Ryan, etc.

    Will any freshmen play big roles this season? Who are they?

    As for me, I like:

    – Garcia at offensive line
    – Hunter Andrews (Could play tight end or D end)
    – I love Isaac Wilson, but I hope he does not play a big role in…[Read more]

    I like it.

  • How successful will we be at rushing and sacking opposing QBs this season?

    On the one hand, we lost our best pass rusher, Ellis, to the NFL. We have also lost our best tackler, Damuni to an injury. These losses will hurt.

    On the other hand, O’Toole should be 100%, and Fano sounds like he should be good to go. Add to them Fillinger and a…[Read more]

    I completely agree with you MD. I want to go to a Utes sport site to talk sports. This is why I moved on from Utefans about seven years ago. It became too political. I have some strong political opinions, but this is NOT the site to discuss them.

    Go Utes!!!

    Thanks, Tony, for all you do.

  • ProudUte replied to the topic FOOTBALL is almost here! in the forum Football 4 months ago

    MD, You are right about the year we got more yardage. I was thinking more about formation when we had Kuithe, Kincade, and Fotheringham all on the field at the same time. That was quite a TE trio.

    I hope to see us open up the offense a bit more. We have the QB and the receivers to do so.

    Go Utes!!!

  • ProudUte replied to the topic FOOTBALL is almost here! in the forum Football 4 months ago

    I like what I have seen from McClain. But, at best he will be the 4th or 5th option in this offense (assuming players stay healthy).

    The top targets IMO will be: Kuithe, Singer, Pittman, and Bernard. Followed by: Parks, McClain, King, Zipperer, and Ryan. I am sure there will be a surprise that I am not expecting.

    I have not seen a new thread in a few days. In just over two weeks – camp starts.

    Question of the day – Will we become a bigger passing team this season?

    Whit has ALWAYS been a run-first coach. That has never changed in 20 years. Some years, we have passed a bit more, but running has always been our bread and butter. Our strength on offense…[Read more]

    Rose Bowl is no longer a tie in for any conference. It is part of the CFP.

  • ProudUte replied to the topic Mike Mitchell in the forum Football 4 months ago

    I suspect that Bernard will be RB1. However, I am not sure who will lead the team in carries and yards. I am just happy to hear that Mitchell put on some weight and strength.

  • ProudUte started the topic Mike Mitchell in the forum Football 4 months ago

    Mike Mitchell posted that he has been working very hard to gain weight and muscle since spring camp. He indicated that he has gained ten pounds since April and is now at 218.

    He also posted how impressed he is with Singer, saying, “He is the real deal.”

    Oh, he also said Cam Rising is good to go!!!

    I have been hearing good things about Mitchell.…[Read more]

  • ProudUte replied to the topic QB depth after Rising in the forum Football 4 months, 1 week ago

    I will support whoever the backup is. However, I hope it is Wilson. I think he is our future.

    I think Wilson wants to earn the backup role. Then he may look to have his surgery in December or January. If he is the backup this season – he would be the favorite to start in 2025 if Rising doesn’t return.

  • I am hearing (nothing official) that Jerome Myles is a Utah lean at this point.

    He would be an amazing get if he decides to play for the Utes. I hope Isaac Wilson is working on him.

  • The guys doing the interview were great. They realize that it is okay to not like your rival.

    Also, they interviewed a BYU Dlineman who was asked about Cam’s comments and he said that there was nothing wrong with what Rising said. He said that he would not have expected anything different. It’s football, not Yatzee…

    CB is another story.…[Read more]

  • Philly, I would prefer that all P4 teams never play FCS teams. However, it does some good for the FCS teams. It is typically their biggest payday of the season.

    I am glad this year that we have a chance to get some of our injured players some practice before playing the big boys. Rising, Kuithe, Barton, Fano, Bernard, and others need some…[Read more]

  • Well…

    I think that our 2008 team was much better than the BYU 1984 team. We beat two teams that were ranked in the top ten in the last poll and two more that were in the top 20. In 1984 BYU beat NO ranked teams. They did beat Pitt in the first game of the season, but Pitt ended up 3-8. They beat a 6-6 Michigan in the Holiday Bowl.

    That…[Read more]
