Did you know that only one 5-star high school QB ever led his team to a Superbowl championship? One would probably guess Payton Manning, John Elway, etc. But, it is Stafford.

I believe that the star rating system is flawed, especially when it comes to QBs. BYU signed two different 5-star QBs that never played in the NFL. They signed a mid…[Read more]

They did not deserve to be left out in the dark. I just looked at their football schedules for 2024. Both teams have MWC schedules without being part of the conference.

I am happy that Utah landed on its feet. But WSU and OSU deserved better IMO.

Go Utes!!!

New teams in the CFP

I think the hype helps our football program with recruiting, etc. The publicity is a good thing. I am not too worried with players getting too cocky. Coach Whitt will take care of that IMO.

A few weeks back – I saw a post on the CB that I found kind of funny. The poster wrote that he likes BYU being rated 12th or 13th…[Read more]

I have lived through two 1-10 seasons in the 1970s, but they weren’t the most frustrating seasons for me because expectations were low. Here are my most frustrating seasons in chronological order:

1973 – There were high expectations for the Utah football team that year and they upset 8th ranked ASU. But, we blew it in the end and finished with…[Read more]

He led Skyridge to the 6A state football championship in 2022. Utah State recruited him. He got to start for a few games as a true freshman and did not do badly until he got injured. I loved watching him in high school. He made things happen. He was an amazing runner.

Should we be interested in him? He would not be our future at QB.…[Read more]

Go Utes!!!

Super League

They put us in the Plains Division, which seems a bit odd. I doubt this will be what we see. But, if it means that Utah remains with the big boys – I would take it. In the end – I suspect that the 7 division winners would make a playoff along with 9 at-large invitations.

I would like to take this over from our current situation.

So what do you all think about the 2024 season?

For me – I think this season depends mostly on Cam Rising’s health and ability to do what he does best. Cam may not need to run as much as he has in the past, but he needs to be a threat to run. He is at his best when he can run and keep the defense honest.

I think we have the receivers and tight…[Read more]

I thought that he was very good watching him play last season at Corner Canyon. He is a baller, very competitive, smart and athletic. I have no idea when his surgery will take place. I am sure that the family would like it to happen sooner than later. If he does have the surgery in the next month or two, he will likely not be ready to play in…[Read more]

– Said that we have to create depth at some positions.
– Corners are looking good. Johnson looks ready to go. ZV is playing as confident as he has ever played.
– Excited about the font 7, especially what Coach Eliss has done with the tackles. We have a lot of depth at the D end position. He mentioned some names of some guys who are stepping it…[Read more]
