Athlon Sports came out with their way to early 2024 top 25. How in the world are we ranked 6th? I would love to be the 6th best team in the country. But, we have lost half our team to the NFL and the portal. I suspect it has a lot to do with a proven QB coming back. But, as many of you have posted, Cam Rising cannot do this on his own. He…[Read more]

In today’s college football, most guys who have a chance to play in the NFL next season sit out the bowl games. Good for Bo for staying loyal to his team. He had nothing to gain by playing today.

Bo Nix beat us twice, but I like him and his style of play. Cam Risinf is very similar and if Cam had all the tools that Oregon has, who knows what…[Read more]

Even Georgia’s Kirby Smart who won 63-3 says that opt-outs are terrible for college football. I think that there should be 16 teams invited to the College Football Championship. There should be no other bowl games played. Bowl games have become a total joke. I hate the opt-outs and portal. Bowl games were fun until all this crap started to…[Read more]

What can you say? Blame the coaches? Too many injuries? Too many guys sitting out? Poor preparation?

I figured that we might lose. But, this game leaves a bad taste in my mouth. There is NO excuse for that offensive effort. It was so bad, that it makes me wonder about Ludwig, our offense in 2024, etc.

I think I need a break from football…[Read more]

Our offensive effort is worse than pathetic. Barnes is playing worse than he has all season.

I cannot remember a worse offensive effort in the 60 years I have been watching the Utes. There may have been worse, but I honestly cannot remember. The OSU game this season was bad but not this bad. So much for the next man up mentality.

I know we…[Read more]

I really have no clue. On the one hand, you would think that with three healthy RBs, we will run 80% of the time. However, since the game is nearly meaningless, maybe Whitt and Ludwig will open it up. Who knows? I do expect Bernard to get 3-5 receptions.

On defense, we will need to sack the QB early and often. NW has given up 48 sacks and we…[Read more]

But, Isaac stayed loyal to the Utes. I like what I see from Isaac. I hope he is our future QB.

Hunter Andrews got a lot of late attention from Texas, but he signed with the Utes today.

This is pure speculation on my part, but I really like Hunter Andrews. He is an all-around good athlete like Kuithe, Weddle, Lloyd, etc. He averaged over 9 yards per carry as a Texas HS running back. He is projected to play LB for Utah or maybe tight end or defensive end.

He reminds me of what Kuithe was in HS. He may not play a lot next…[Read more]

What do we know? Admittedly, it is tough to make comparisons because so many guys will not be playing because of injuries, portal, and the NFL. However, this is what I have found.

– ESPN Gamecast gives us a 79% chance of winning.
– We are a 6.5 point favorite with an o/u of 41.5.
– Utah averages 24.5 points per game and NW 22.8.
– Utah rushes…[Read more]

I wish him well.

247 Sports now lists him as 100% to BYU. I hate to lose legacy kids like this, but if he feels that BYU is better for him – so be it.

I am just curious about what changed with him in the last few months. He was previously listed as 100% Utah. Doesn’t his dad work for our football program? Does anyone know the back story?

I know Kalani was…[Read more]
