ProudUte started the topic Nice interview with Whitt in the forum Football 5 months ago

I actually saw this on CB this afternoon. As they tend to do, they began to attack coach Whitt for the thing he said. I challenge anyone (Ute or Cougar) to find anything Whitt said that could be considered offensive to BYU fans.

It is a nice interview. But, Whitt keeps everything close to the vest – so there is nothing…[Read more]

I hear that Scalley stayed with Nathan, which is why he made his final decision to come to Utah.

I read that the Eagles plan to use him in their WR rotation this season.

ProudUte replied to the topic DUNN CHAIN REACTION? in the forum Football 5 months ago

He is now listed as a 5 star guy. This would be an amazing get. I have not idea what ties this kid from Illinois has to Utah.

ProudUte replied to the topic DUNN CHAIN REACTION? in the forum Football 5 months ago

I hope this is true.

ProudUte started the topic Bad picks in 60 in 60 so far in the forum Football 5 months ago

As of yesterday, they are number at #17. I know that it means nothing, but it is interesting to see where the local media guys place players.

The biggest underrated player so far, IMO, is Tao Johnson at #40. I think he is going to be a great safety for the Utes. BYU has a couple of DBs ranked better than him, which makes no sense to me.

ProudUte started the topic It's a great time to be a Ute football fan in the forum Football 5 months ago

I have been a Ute football fan since the early 1960s. I remember the Liberty Bowl of 1964 (first college football game played indoors). The first year I had season tickets was in 1974. We went 1-10. It was a terrible year, but I still had fun.

There was no way that we ever thought that our Utah football team would ever be rated, play in the…[Read more]

ProudUte replied to the topic Aaron Dunn commits in the forum Football 5 months ago

He is one tall boy. Sounds like a great pickup for the Utes.

Go Utes!!!

ProudUte replied to the topic Funny video clip – New Faces in the forum Football 5 months ago

I saw that a while back. Still makes me laugh.

ProudUte started the topic Isaac Wilson this season in the forum Football 5 months ago

I heard from someone last night that the coaching staff wants to get Wilson as many practice reps as possible throughout the season. The best way to do this outside of being the starter is to have him run the scout team. Of course, everyone wants Rising to stay healthy and start every game. That means he will get 80% of the reps in practice…[Read more]

ProudUte replied to the topic Andrews as RB in the forum Football 5 months ago

I find this interesting because we don’t seem to have a lot of depth at LB and we have a big RB room. I understand that our two starting linebackers are excellent, and Fotu and Reynolds show promise. Still, I would have thought we needed him more on defense.

It sounds like we need a guy that can get those tough yards in short-yardage…[Read more]

ProudUte replied to the topic I miss getting meaningful updates from camp. in the forum Football 5 months ago

Interesting, especially at QB. Does this mean that they just want to redshirt Wilson?

It is also interesting that Alford didn’t make your top 3 receivers. But, a team will typically utilize 5-6 WRs.

OnlyU, Ar you sticking with your prediction that we become more of a passing team?

ProudUte replied to the topic I miss getting meaningful updates from camp. in the forum Football 5 months ago

CC, I agree with you. When we get a lead, Whitt will slow things down and just try keep the football and run the clock out. So, yes, the stats in the end will likely show that we run a bit more than pass (assuming we get big leads). However, when the game is in question, I suspect we will pass more than Whitt has ever done.

ProudUte started the topic I miss getting meaningful updates from camp. in the forum Football 5 months ago

I understand that Whitt is very secretive and I understand why (kind of). But, as a fan of the Utes – I want to know more. But, we get virtually nothing. Whitt tells his assistants to be very vague. I can get a better update by asking AI.

I listened to a handful of interviews from coaches and players this morning. I got virtually nothing.…[Read more]

ProudUte replied to the topic Was the pandemic the major cause of the Pac12 dissolving? in the forum Pac-12 5 months ago

The PAC 12 would still be alive today had the commissioner been proactive after the USC/UCLA announcement. The Big 12 commissioner took immediate action when Texas/Oklahoma announced they were leaving. This action kept the Big 12 alive.

What could the PAC12 done? They could have invited SMU and SDSU within a month of the USC/UCLA announcement.…[Read more]

Death, taxes and Utah football,” Klatt wrote. “This is my pick to win the Big 12. Utah is really good, really tough, and I know the Big 12 teams are not going to want to hear this, but Salt Lake City is now the toughest place to play in the Big 12. Period. That home-field advantage is real; the Utes are incredible at home. And when healthy, thi…

ProudUte started the topic 2024 – Points per game in the forum Football 5 months, 1 week ago

How many points will Utah score and give up per game in 2024?

The best in recent years was in 2022 when we scored 38 points per game and in 2019 when we only gave up 15 points per game. So, what do you expect in 2024?

OnlyU and others have told us we will pass much more this season. This should lead to more points on offense. On the other…[Read more]

ProudUte replied to the topic Receivers in the forum Football 5 months, 1 week ago

Top ten receiver group? That would be a first for the Utes.

We are deep. If Cam stays healthy – we should be great.

Go Utes!!!

ProudUte replied to the topic Utes ranked 13th in first coaches poll in the forum Football 5 months, 1 week ago

The Big 12, including the Utes, have to prove themselves. In a perfect world – an undefeated Utah team will play and undefeated KState team for the conference championship. If that ends up being true (not likely) – The Big 12 will have two teams in the top five.
