Our running game has the potential to be pretty good. JJ will be starting with Glover and Bernard playing too. I know two linemen will be sitting out because of the NFL draft. But, we are supposed to have depth.

True. I assumed his estate was still providing money to OSU. But, I admit that I don’t know. I did go out and search his donations and he gave over a billion to OSU in his lifetime. I am not sure if the estate is still donating or not.

I agree that there is enough smoke that something is going on with JJ behind the scenes. If Ok State wants him – we likely will not be able to compete with T Boone Pickens and all of his money. We could possibly match the NIL deal, but doing so could create some internal chaos. Other players would then want more money. Unfortunately, this is…[Read more]

Chris Fuamatu-Ma’afala and Jamal Anderson.

I really appreciate it that most of my fellow Ute fans were respectful when two of our players transferred to our rival like last season. Most wished them well and I do not remember any Ute fans trashing them.

CB is all over the place on this transfer. Some say things like he and his brother are dead to me. Others cannot understand why a kid…[Read more]

Whitt has specifically stated that Rose could play in the bowl game and it would NOT affect his medical redshirt status.

This is probably true with Rising and Kuithe as well. But, there is NO chance of these two guys playing.

I agree that Barnes has done a lot for this team and I would like to see him go out with a win. That being said, we saw what happened with our offense in 2023 with QBs not prepared to play. (We all know the stories of what happened.) I want Rose to be prepared to take the reigns next season if Cam goes down. He needs as many reps as possible…[Read more]

I would love for him to play. I think we would see him lined up in the slot a lot if he does play.

I agree. We should pump the breaks on “Utah is King.” We will have a challenge next season. I hope we end up on top, but KSU, Arizona, OSU, WV and others will have something to say about that.

Excellent post. If we add a few solid portal guys in the defensive backfield we should be great. I would also like to get a WR and possibly a QB in the portal.

I am high on Isaac Wilson as our future QB. I talked to a HS defensive coordinator who has played Corner Canyon for years. He told me that in his opinion Isaac is a better QB than his…[Read more]

I don’t get it. Barnes will be gone after the game and hopefully Rose will still be around. Whitt said Rose could play without eligibility issues. So, why don’t we give Rose the practice reps and let him play? I have nothing against Barnes, but he will not be a Ute next year. Give Rose the reps.

Miami, I agree with NIL and the portal. I was only speaking to kids going to the NFL. The portal and the NIL are terrible for college football IMO. That being said, we have to play the game if we want to be viable.

I hope in time, this nonsense will be adjusted. Look at the Oklahoma QB who already transferred from UCF. He is now going to…[Read more]
