ProudUte replied to the topic So Johnson might start against Florida in the forum Football 1 year, 2 months ago
Many offensive players have started or played significantly as a Freshman. In recent years look at Covey, Moss, and Simkins.

His second year he was QB2 for Meyer. Elliot broke his wrist on the last offensive play of the TAMU game. Smith started the next week. When Elliot was healthy again, Smith remained the starter. Eliiot transferred out before the next season.

I thought the exact same thing.

ProudUte replied to the topic I find it amusing in the forum They So Poo Poo 1 year, 2 months ago
CB and their tweeter friends feel justified in doing anything they can to hurt Utah. They got to online polls and vote 100s of times. They refer to this as jimmering the polls. 75% of the CB posters are twisted individuals who believe that hate and spite are justified.
All that being said, I understand from friends and relatives that there are…[Read more]

ProudUte replied to the topic So Johnson might start against Florida in the forum Football 1 year, 2 months ago
I tend to agree with you that Whitt is playing games like he always does. However, I do believe that Johnson is improving and the coaches are impressed. I suspect if Rising doesn’t go – Barnes will be the guy. However, If Rising does go, I would not be surprised that Johnson becomes QB2 as the season progresses. I have no inside information,…[Read more]

This article indicates that Whitt says that Barnes and Johnson are now neck and neck. Whitt also say that the offensive line starters have been named but he isn’t saying who.
The article suggests that we will not know who the starter is until the offense trots onto the field next Thursday. It may be one of three guys.

This is a great article about the Utes’ offensive line. It also has a video showing Ute football players doing gymnastics including a double front flip by Bills. Watch the video, it is fun.

I do not and will not post anything negative about their players, coaches, or their institution. I find that inappropriate and in fact there are many of their players and coaches that I like.
What pisses me off most about the CB and fellow tweeters is their attempts to belittle the Utes. They will do anything they can to try to make us look bad…[Read more]

I agree.

ProudUte started the topic ESPN SP+ rankings in the forum Football 1 year, 2 months ago
This article ranks Utah’s offense as the 12 best and the defense 26th best. I find this interesting since I think most people believe Utah’s strength is on defense. Utah ranks 14th overall, just like the AP and coaches poll.
I think the offensive ranking assumes that Cam Rising will be our starting QB and that Kuithe will play. It’s nice to…[Read more]

That the CB has many more posts about Cam Rising’s status than any Utah board. They have an obsession with anything Utah related.

ProudUte replied to the topic Which Player Are You Most Expecting To See Improvement? in the forum Football 1 year, 2 months ago
I am a big Pepa fan. If he has lost some weight and is in better shape – he could have a great season.
I think Yassmin has a good chance to have a very good year. He is one tough dude to bring down.
Vaki could have an amazing season and Barton could be in the mix for PAC12 D player of the year.

ProudUte replied to the topic Bartle's weekly interview with Riley in the forum Football 1 year, 2 months ago
I think some of us (including me) have under estimated Barnes athletic ability. Apparently, Barnes is as fast as Jackson. I don’t believe that Barnes has the field vision and moves that Cam has and Cam had proved to be a great runner. I don’t think Bartles was suggesting that Barnes is a better runner than Cam. I think he was saying that…[Read more]

ProudUte replied to the topic I am hearing great things about our safeties in the forum Football 1 year, 3 months ago
I am hearing the same thing about our nickle. Sounds like Vaki is locked in at safety. I heard someone compare him to Robert Johnson today. If he plays like RoJo – we have another very good safety. He played both ways in HS and was an excellent WR. We should be much better at safety this season and we have some depth too.
If Vaki and Bishop…[Read more]

I have heard good things about King from fall camp. When Kuithe is healthy, we should be loaded at TE.

Just got back from golf in time to hear his weekly interview.
Mertz is trying to do a reboot of his career. He has had 31 TDs and 26 interceptions.
Bartle thinks that Mertz will fit in with what Napier is trying to do. He feels that Napier will be a run-first guy. How well FL performs will depend on how the retooled offensive line does.…[Read more]

Whitt said a few weeks ago that we might have the best pair of safeties in the country. I took that as a bit of hyperbole. But, I am hearing that Vaki is looking amazing and we already know what Bishop can do. On top of that, we have Ritchie (former starter) as a backup. The safety positions look very good for the Utes.

It’s tough to compare Yassmin and Rex. They play so differently. Yassmin is much better with YAC, but Rex is a more polished route runner. I am happy to have Yassmin.

ProudUte replied to the topic Gameday crew will come to SLC in the forum Football 1 year, 3 months ago
This is a great opportunity for the Ute nation. We need to deliver on and off the field. As Harlan said earlier this week – we need to have the stadium packed in red before the 6:00 PM kickoff. Often with these weekday night games – the stadium is only 3/4 full at kickoff. With Gameday being here – we need to be there on time. Take the day…[Read more]
