ProudUte replied to the topic I'm not sure why people are so hard on ludwig concerning QB development in the forum Football 12 months ago
I like coach Ludwig, but I don’t think he has done a great job developing QB. I am not going to list names here, but there have been plenty of highly rated QBs who never …
This year was very sad. I saw a freshman Fifita at Arizona kill it. We have tried a myriad of QBs who were not ready for the big-time. They looked lost and lacked…[Read more]

Agree. If he decides to leave, that is completed understandable. I wish him well regardless. He is a very good man!!!

ProudUte started the topic The difference a confident QB can make in the forum Football 12 months ago
I watched the Oregon/Oregon State game last Friday. Bo Nix is a talented QB with a ton of confidence. Third and long was never a problem for him. It made me think about the Came Rising we saw in the USC game in October 2022. He had confidence to move the team and he had great confidence that if he threw it to Kincaid, he would catch it.

ProudUte replied to the topic What I think needs to be done with Utah football going forward in the forum Football 12 months ago
Let me try to answer your points in bold below.
– Why do you think Shah failed? Special teams was not an issue this year at all. Our kicker got hurt. When he played, he played great. Our punter had a good year as well. Some areas need to improve I guess, but Shah did not fail. I don’t know when you turned into Mr. Negative Nancy.
Have you see…[Read more]

I understand your valid points on Vaki and our running backs. Also, I stated he should be moved only if he is willing to make the move. I would NOT require him to move. The same was done with JJ from QB to RB. JJ chose to make a permanent move and it has worked out for him.
I am not a coach. I am not even a former player. But, from my…[Read more]

I agree with both of your additional points. I really like our passing game in 2019. I hope we can see a solid passing game with Cam in 2024.

That would be a fun game, if we have enough healthy players to play. Whitt once said that Barton could be game-ready by the bowl game.

ProudUte started the topic What I think needs to be done with Utah football going forward in the forum Football 12 months ago
First, let me clarify that I realize that there is much I do not know and will likely never know behind the scenes with the Utah football program. I am a just long-time fan who would love to see Utah get to that next level.
Second, I think Utah is in a great position to be relevant in the 12-team CFP in 2024. Here are the things “I” would…[Read more]

ProudUte started the topic Josh Newman clarifies current QB situation in the forum Football 12 months ago
This article clarifies the current QB situation. Some key points:
– Howard is not ready.
– They are indeed trying to get Rose a medical redshirt, so they do not want to play him.
– Barnes may be ready to play by the bowl game. This implies to be that he has an injury and was not sick with the flu as was reported. If Barnes cannot go,…[Read more] -
ProudUte started the topic Ending up 8-4 with all of our injuries ain't that bad. in the forum Football 1 year ago
But, I do think we could have done better. We were killed by Oregon and they are a much better team. We could have beat UW and showed much better against AZ and OSU.
We won today, playing the Whitt style of playing not to lose. I suppose he felt that any turnovers would be too costly. I love Whitt as our head coach, but today’s game was…[Read more]

ProudUte started the topic Wow, 2023 has been a crazy season in the forum Football 1 year ago
We will apparently be starting the 5th-string QB this weekend.
We are down to the third-string TE.
Jackson has been hobbled all season. Bernard played in one game. Curry was only able to play a few plays. Vaki looked good, then he has not been at full strength since USC.
We have had some injuries at WR and offensive line too.
On defense -…[Read more]

I got it last March in Athens, Greece. I did not know that I had it. The flight home was hell. I took the test when I got home and I had it.

ProudUte replied to the topic QB in the forum Football 1 year ago
Glad Cam is coming back. I hope others do the same. If everyone stays who can, we should be a great team in 2024.
I hope Rose stays and is QB2.
I hope Johnson stays and plays a different position.
I would like Howard to stay as an emergency QB.
Then in 2025 there will be a competition between Wilson and Rose.

ProudUte replied to the topic Classless of AZ in the forum Football 1 year ago
Uncalled for by Fisch. But, what goes around – comes around. We scored with 40 seconds to play to beat ASU 55-3. I was not happy with that. I know it was a run and not a long pass, but still…

ProudUte replied to the topic Classless of AZ in the forum Football 1 year ago
I hate to say it, but we did something similar against ASU. Not quite as bad because it wasn’t a pass, but we ran the ball instead of kneeling with 45 seconds to play and scored a TD to go up 55-3.

ProudUte replied to the topic Classless of AZ in the forum Football 1 year ago
I think this week, the staff and players will focus on the first-half debacle. However, next year when we have Arizona in RES, I think the subject of that last play will come up.

ProudUte replied to the topic Barnes gets his first 300-yard passing game in this debacle in the forum Football 1 year ago
I respect your opinion on Johnson, but I disagree.
I think he looked bad against UCLA and terrible against OSU. I like Nate and he is a good athlete but he does not appear to be a good QB. When the season started I was all about going with Johnson because I assumed he was our future. I just don’t think he has what it takes to be a D1 QB. How…[Read more]

ProudUte started the topic I assumed we would lose when I learned of our injuries on defense, but in the forum Football 1 year ago
I expected a better effort in the first quarter than we saw. I knew this would be a tough game considering all of the injuries on both sides of the ball.
I give the team credit for not giving up, even though they were destroyed in the first quarter. At least some kids got some needed playing time. This may benefit us next year.

ProudUte started the topic Barnes gets his first 300-yard passing game in this debacle in the forum Football 1 year ago
Good for him.
We came out running the ball and rush defense is Arizona’s strength. Bad move by our coaches. By the time we realized we couldn’t run we were down 28-0.
Oh well, life goes on.

ProudUte replied to the topic Watching Isaac Wilson in the HS state playoffs in the forum Football 1 year ago
I have watched many times. He is an impressive player. He can run as well as pass. He gives 100% every play. I think he is our QB of the future.
