Our defense is very solid and might be excellent but they have not been tested yet. I think they will be very good, but I am worried that they may be on the field too long.

Of course, our offense could be much, much better with Cam playing. However, I have no clue when that will happen. Without Cam, Kuithe, and Bernard – we are just not that…[Read more]

Isaac Wilson had yet another great game last night. They beat undefeated Mountain Ridge 56-14. They scored 49 first-half points. Wilson threw for 5 TDs and ran for another. If you haven’t seen this kid play – he has a very strong arm and he is not afraid to run the ball.

In Corner Canyon’s only loss, they scored 42 points against the national…[Read more]

They are the 7th-ranked FCS team.

They scored more points against Northern Iowa (34) than our future conference partner, Iowa State.

They are a run-first team. They have a very good running back, Damon Bankston, who is averaging 7.5 yards per carry.

Some of their best players from 2022 followed Jay Hill to BYU.

Their weakness on defense…[Read more]

Notes from his weekly interview (nothing too exciting).

Happy to be 2-0 as a team.

The offense did not get things going early and missed a lot of opportunities. We did not play a clean game. He wished he could go out there and play. The game proved we are resilient and we came back and won.

Cam was the one to tell Nate in the 4th quarter…[Read more]

The Idaho football coach said that they will play the Utes in 2026 as a replacement for Houston or BYU.

Depth Chart

So, here is the virtually meaningless depth chart. Whitt admitted that Maea would not be playing this week, yet he is shown as a starter. It does show Nate Johnson as the backup QB. So, there is something different. Outside of Bernard, who is out for the season, all of the injured players will be playing according to this. (We…[Read more]

Kuithe has been a big part of Utah football. I think he may be the only Ute player who started during each of the four seasons that the Utes went to the PAC-12 championship game. He likely would have been drafted high after the 2020 and 2021 seasons. However, he chose to stay at Utah. He has been one of my favorite players. He and Kincaid…[Read more]

When asked about Cam, he said the status is the same. When the doctors clear him – he will play. He did say that Cam has been practicing at full speed for a few weeks and looks good.

Nate Johnson will get the start if Cam still cannot go. Johnson will have the whole offense at his disposal if he plays on Saturday.

He is not sure who will be…[Read more]

Whitt pointed out that JJ is not yet 100%, but playing well. Whitt pointed out that the three freshmen RBs are all looking good, but even with Bernard’s injury – we do not yet need to go to the freshmen.

JJ is 22 today. Made him think of his friends who passed on.

He had 37 friends and family at the game. He was happy to play in front of his…[Read more]

It was very hot on the field. You could feel it through your cleats.

Once they got into a groove, they stopped noticing the heat. They made some changes at halftime and then they totally stopped the run.

They make changes throughout the game. At halftime, Scalley takes the input of the players and then he makes the plan.

They needed the rest…[Read more]

Looking forward to getting back on the field.

Every injury is different. The process is different because every injury is not the same. “I am getting better every day. It is what it is.” He was not ready for fall camp even though it was his plan to be back for game one.

A lot of people really do not understand what he is going through. He…[Read more]

I know we are missing Cam Rising and I would expect us to perform at the same level without him. BUT – shouldn’t we do better than we have the last two weeks? We had the entire off-season to plan for this and we have not looked good offensively.

If UW lost Penix for a game or USC lost Williams – would their offenses be so impotent? I don’t…[Read more]
