ProudUte replied to the topic How’re you feeling about the UW game? in the forum Football 1 year ago

UW has an amazing pass offense. Our weakness seems to be pass defense. We can only be successful IMO if we pressure Penix and force some mistakes.

On offense, I am nervous because of Jackson’s injury. If he plays, will he be at full strength? Apparently, Vaki has been banged up.

UW is vulnerable and our coaches will need a good game plan to…[Read more]

ProudUte replied to the topic It takes special talent to make a Jay Hill D look this bad in the forum They So Poo Poo 1 year ago

It is BYU’s first season playing in a P5 conference. They don’t have the depth yet. Sitake will be given a chance to recruit and develop the team. He won’t be dismissed for a few years. As bad as they looked (and they looked very bad) they are still 5-4 and could become bowl-eligible against Iowa State.

Sitake has some business dealings on…[Read more]

ProudUte started the topic Utah plays in the conference championship if this happens. in the forum Football 1 year ago

I am not trying to suggest that it is going to happen, but here is what would get us in the championship game.

USC beats UW
Utah wins out including at UW
Oregon wins out including USC and OSU

If these things happen, we would go back to Vegas. The only problem is that we would play Oregon again.

That being said, with yet another key injury…[Read more]

ProudUte replied to the topic QB situation in the forum Football 1 year ago

Very true.

ProudUte started the topic So using the ASU games for comparison, Utah should beat UW in the forum Football 1 year ago

38-9

I will take it. 🙂

Of course, comparative scores mean nothing.

ProudUte started the topic Well, I guess I didn't need to worry. in the forum Football 1 year ago

We dominated the entire game on both sides of the ball. The special teams had some issues, but great game!!!

My game grades:

Defense – A+ (84 total yards allowed. Wow!!!)
Offense – A
Special Teams – C-
Overall – A

Go Utes!!!

ProudUte replied to the topic Are Jonah Elliss and Cole Bishop Gone After this Season? in the forum Football 1 year ago

He can put on weight in the NFL, but I think he gets drafted higher if he is a bit bigger and stronger. In the end, I think he makes more money by waiting a year. But, that’s just me. Regardless, I support Elliss whatever he decides is best for him.

ProudUte replied to the topic Are Jonah Elliss and Cole Bishop Gone After this Season? in the forum Football 1 year ago

I think Johan Elliss still needs to put on some weight and gain some strength. He is small by NFL standards.

I believe you may be right on Bishop. If he has a good NIL deal, he may stay.

ProudUte started the topic Help an old Ute fan feel better about tomorrow. in the forum Football 1 year ago

Looking at the numbers, I am worried about the game with ASU tomorrow. ASU has played well the last few weeks and has not played terribly since the loss to Fresno State earlier in the season. Their defense was excellent against UW. They probably would have won that game on the road if it wasn’t for a pick-six when ASU was going in to take a…[Read more]

ProudUte replied to the topic Rose update in the forum Football 1 year ago

I agree.

I think if Johnson wants a college and possible pro career, he needs to change positions. It seems to me that he would have the greatest chance of success at WR.

ProudUte replied to the topic Rose update in the forum Football 1 year ago

It seems obvious now that they will not play Rose this season because he can get a medical redshirt if he doesn’t play He already took his normal redshirt year last season. It makes more sense to me now. We are just going to try and get by the remainder of the season with Barnes and or Johnson.

I suspect if Rising comes back, Rose will enter…[Read more]

ProudUte started the topic Rising and Kuithe in the forum Football 1 year ago

Do we want them to return next year? I would love to have both come back next season. It would be exciting to see them both play again. However, if I was Whitt – I would draw a line in the sand for a decision. I would give them no longer than December 1st. The portal opens up a few days later and we need to be ready to get some top players if…[Read more]

ProudUte started the topic Whitt's presser in the forum Football 1 year ago

I missed the first 2-3 minutes.

Oregon is a top 5 team in his opinion.

We went from our best to one of our worst productions on offense. He said he takes the blame for that.

Bryson Barnes is our QB right now.

Rose still running the scout team. If he had not missed all that time, he may be in the mix. He acted like it was a possibility we…[Read more]

ProudUte started the topic I have lowered my expectations in the forum Football 1 year ago

I would never tell another Ute fan how they should feel. Everyone is different. I am as much a Ute fan this morning as I was before the Oregon game. However, I have lowered my expectations for the remainder of the season.

I believe we felt a false sense of accomplishment after the USC win. USC has a horrific defense. Our offense looked much…[Read more]

ProudUte started the topic This loss is 80% on the offense. in the forum Football 1 year ago

The defense was not good, but they did make Oregon punt 5 times which isn’t bad. The offense was beyond terrible!!! 2 PIs and an anemic effort.

We all should have known. The USC win got our hopes up. The fact is USC’s defense is horrible.

Our offense is without 2 QBs, 2 RBs, 2 tight ends, one starting receiver, and our starting center. It’s…[Read more]

ProudUte replied to the topic Down Vote Me All You Want in the forum Football 1 year ago

I won’t down vote you, but I think you are high. 😉 The Utes offense will be lucky to get two more wins.

ProudUte replied to the topic I hope we are on Fox? in the forum Football 1 year ago

They probably move the game to FS2 or the Fox Business Channel. There is no way the OK game is over by 1:30. It probably won’t be over until close to 2:30.

They should move the OK/Kansas game to FS2 and keep us on Fox.

ProudUte started the topic Where is everybody this morning? in the forum Football 1 year ago

It’s GAMEDAY!!! Go Utes – beat the Ducks!!!

Steve Smith made me proud.

ProudUte replied to the topic Pat McAfee show is on and the Utes getting lots or props in the forum Football 1 year ago

Cam Rising was on. He was asked if he is coming back. He said that everything is on the table.

ProudUte replied to the topic Pat McAfee show is on and the Utes getting lots or props in the forum Football 1 year ago

Just announced that Steve Smith will be the guest picker.
