ProudUte replied to the topic Camp opens Monday in the forum Football 4 months ago

I assumed that since Wilson did not get the surgery yet, that he was planning on competing for QB2.

I have posted before, that I really like what I saw in Isaac Wilson at Corner Canyon. He is not just a dropback passer. This kid is all in when he is on the field. He was an excellent runner. I saw his team score 42 points against the top team…[Read more]

I was just going to post the same thing.

There is not a lot new in the article that we haven’t already discussed at length on this board. The new practice schedule is interesting.

I am excited for the season to start.

Go Utes!!!

ProudUte replied to the topic OnlyU, what exciting news can you share with us in the forum Football 4 months ago

Wow, if this is the case – we should have an amazing season!!!

Best top to bottom O-line we’ve ever had imo.

ProudUte replied to the topic OnlyU, what exciting news can you share with us in the forum Football 4 months ago

I am posting here just to keep this post on the first page – in hopes that OnlyU sees it and responds.

Utes and Cam Rising

The video above discusses the Big 12 and Utah being the leader of a competitive conference. These two guys say it all depends on Cam Rising. I think most of us agree with that. We can be a good team without Cam, but I doubt we have a chance of winning the conference without a healthy Cam Rising.

ProudUte started the topic OnlyU, what exciting news can you share with us in the forum Football 4 months ago

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.

ProudUte started the topic I am a football fan first in the forum Football 4 months ago

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]

ProudUte started the topic Immediate impact freshman in the forum Football 4 months, 1 week ago

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.

ProudUte started the topic Football question of the day in the forum Football 4 months, 1 week ago

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]

ProudUte replied to the topic FOOTBALL is almost here! in the forum Football 4 months, 1 week ago

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!!!

ProudUte replied to the topic Some updates in the forum Ute Hub Site 4 months, 1 week ago

Thanks, Tony, for all you do.

ProudUte replied to the topic FOOTBALL is almost here! in the forum Football 4 months, 1 week 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, 1 week 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.

ProudUte started the topic FOOTBALL is almost here! in the forum Football 4 months, 1 week ago

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, 2 weeks 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, 2 weeks 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]
