ProudUte started the topic Whitt's presser and Bishop's appeal was denied in the forum Football 1 year, 2 months ago
The offense put up the best numbers of the season. Barnes played a good game.
Vaki had a great game and averaged over 10 yards per carry. Jackson played well too. Had a lot to do with the Oline.
The defense did great and forced two turnovers.
A lot of good things coming out the game Saturday.
USC has tons of talent and speed. We will have…[Read more]

ProudUte replied to the topic What do we know about USC? in the forum Football 1 year, 2 months ago
We cannot fall way behind to USC as we did in SLC and Vegas and expect to come back. We had Rising, Kincaid, and Bernard. I do not expect Rising to play Saturday and even if he does I suspect a lot of rust. That being said, I believe our defense is much better than we were a year ago.

ProudUte replied to the topic What do we know about USC? in the forum Football 1 year, 2 months ago
Scalley will not take Ried and Barton out of the game. Scalley will likely come up with his own special D for this game. But he will not take out two of his best defenders out IMO. I suppose in some situations – he will play 6 DBs. Scalley will also not likely rush three players on a regular basis. He may do it some, but we are a four-down lineman D.

ProudUte started the topic What do we know about USC? in the forum Football 1 year, 2 months ago
USC is an interesting team. Many will look at the score of the ND game (48-20) and say that USC’s defense was terrible. The truth is, they only allowed 251 total yards. ND scored a lot of points because of 5 turnovers and a kickoff return for a TD. One of the turnovers was a scoop-and-score and one interception took them to the 2-yard line. I…[Read more]

ProudUte started the topic The good, the bad and the ugly in the forum Football 1 year, 2 months ago
I was overall pleased with our win yesterday. Here are my thoughts:
The Good
– The score
– Tag team running backs of Jackson and Vaki. (I am very impressed with Vaki.)
– Our rushing defense was once again stellar. We held a very good running team to 69 yards.
– Forced two turnovers.
– 5 Sacks
– I think Barnes may be a better runner (not…[Read more] -
ProudUte started the topic Vaki for Heisman in the forum Football 1 year, 2 months ago
I really like what he did today.
I felt that we needed to do some different things if we were going to win games going forward. They made a great change with Vaki. He is fast and strong.

I don’t think it is a good idea to tell anyone else how they should feel as a fan.
Go Utes!!!

Well said, OnlyU.
I too hope the Utes (as a team) can get past these last few weeks and bounce back.

I am not a big Coach Prime fan, but I don’t hate him either. I do respect a coach who takes responsibility after a loss.

ProudUte replied to the topic Who is your biggest recruiting miss in the forum Football 1 year, 3 months ago
The biggest recruiting miss was OJ Simpson. Forget about his life post-NFL. He was one of the greatest college running backs ever. He visited Utah after JC but USC came in last minute and swooped him away.
Maybe if he had played at Utah, his later life would have been different.

ProudUte replied to the topic Cal @ Utah keys to a win? in the forum Football 1 year, 3 months ago
I agree. We need at least three good drives with scores. Hopefully, our D will add one more.
Go Utes!!!

ProudUte replied to the topic Cal depth chart in the forum Football 1 year, 3 months ago
Our depth charts this season are virtually meaningless. I bet at least 8 of the players on the two-deep do not play this Saturday. I am not sure why we even submit a depth chart.

ProudUte started the topic Sounds like Randle is getting some reps in the forum Football 1 year, 3 months ago
Whitt said last night that Randle is now getting some reps at RB. I am not sure if he will get any playing time, but if someone else goes down – he will have to play.

ProudUte started the topic This "could" end up being Whitt's best season as a coach. in the forum Football 1 year, 3 months ago
Let’s drop all the speculation as to what WHitt knew about Rising and Kuithe and when he knew it. None of us know the truth and we will likely never know.
If Whitt somehow gets the offense rolling (without Cam & Kuithe) and wins 5 of the next 7 games, I would say that this may be Whitt’s best coaching year ever. If you can overcome 20+ injuries…[Read more]

ProudUte replied to the topic 🤯😵💫🤬 in the forum Football 1 year, 3 months ago
I agree that this is a frustrating season. All of the games have been weird. Thankfully, we have a very good defense which has led us to a 4-1 season. Some, suggest that we should all be happy that we are 4-1. It’s all about the ineptness we see on offense. The OSU game was the final straw.
This season is also weird and frustrating because…[Read more]

I think that everyone is getting a little upset because of our pathetic offensive effort. We (me included) all need to settle down and realize that it’s just football. Be happy that you are not living in Israel right now.

ProudUte replied to the topic Furlong speaking truth in the forum Football 1 year, 3 months ago
The bad news about all of this – is that other teams (when recruiting) are saying that Whitt handled this terribly and are suggesting that he really does not care about his players.
If I was Whitt – I would come out and make a clear statement as to what happened this spring and summer. But, this is NOT Whitt’s style. He is what he is and no…[Read more]

ProudUte started the topic Rising's surgeon given permissions to speak in the forum Football 1 year, 3 months ago
ElAttrache was given permission by Rising to speak to The Athletic to expand on the surgery, the rehab and where Utah’s quarterback is in the process of this tedious recovery. ElAttrache said Rising’s multi-ligament injury plus the meniscus tear usually takes top-flight athletes anywhere from 10 to 12 months to return to competition. So far, Ris…[Read more]

ProudUte replied to the topic Whitt's presser in the forum Football 1 year, 3 months ago
Whitt did not sound positive about the injuries. But, you cannot take anything he says about injuries seriously. Not a word was said about the potential of Jackson playing this week. His biggest statement about injuries related to the need to shuffle around our offensive line this weekend. However, he then went on to say that we will know more…[Read more]
