ProudUte started the topic Utah 12th in coaches poll in the forum Football 1 year, 4 months ago

We jumped LSU and Clemson and no team jumped us.

Colorado ranked 25th. I am only surprised it wasn’t higher based off the hype.

I think we are ranked about right (if Rising and Kuithe can play by conference).

ProudUte started the topic Whitt's presser in the forum Football 1 year, 4 months ago

This was from yesterday but ESPN700 did not play it until today because of the holiday.

Expects to see a better Baylor team this weekend. They have good coaches. Their offense looked good but had bad red-zone production.

We had a good win last week. The defense was the difference. We only had 4 missed tackles compared to 29 last year.

We…[Read more]

ProudUte replied to the topic QB in the forum Football 1 year, 4 months ago

As for me, I would not have switched QB from one series to another. But, Whitt and Lud must have had their reasons. I suspect that they wanted to get NJ some real game experience, which is a good thing for the future. What happened was more about the long-term and not just winning that game IMO.

If it was me, I would play Nate in specific…[Read more]

ProudUte replied to the topic looking ahead to Weber State, what would you like to see? in the forum Football 1 year, 4 months ago

I agree. Play Cam to get rid of the rust. Then give the rest of the reps to Johnson. This should tell the coaching staff who the backup should be in conference play. Johnson needs the opportunity to run the entire playbook. He needs to get experience and confidence.

Go to KUTV.com. You will find it there.

ProudUte started the topic Talkin Utes in the forum Football 1 year, 4 months ago

The weekly “Talkin Utes” show is back on Sunday nights. This show was established to help with NIL. So, please watch.

Last night they had Tao Johnson and Money Parks on. They both appear to be great guys. Money will graduate this semester in communications. Tao always played QB in HS. He came here to play WR and now is a starting Nickel…[Read more]

ProudUte started the topic Baylor Depth Chart in the forum Football 1 year, 4 months ago

Depth Chart

I don’t think this chart means anything. Everyone who was injured is now back in the two-deep. Do I believe it? No way. I guess Whitt is required to submit a depth chart. But, I don’t think it means anything. It didn’t last week and it looks the same to me.

ProudUte started the topic PAC12 football after week 1 in the forum Football 1 year, 4 months ago

This is how I would rank the PAC 12 teams after week 1. I have excluded Utah.

Washington – They plastered a decent Boise team.
Oregon – Tough to tell against Portland State, but they did what they had to do and scored 80 points while doing it.
Oregon State – Dominated on both sides of the ball against San Jose
USC – I know there is a national…[Read more]

ProudUte replied to the topic Blake Shapen Out Against Utah in the forum Football 1 year, 4 months ago

Our defense seems to excel against QBs who lack experience. I expect Scalley to put a very aggressive package together for Baylor. But, they will focus on stopping the run first.

ProudUte replied to the topic Cam Rising to practice without limitations in the forum Football 1 year, 4 months ago

I tend to agree with you. However, 1) If Can is declared ready and he wants to go, does Whitt make a decision to sit him? 2) We shouldn’t take any game lightly and it is easy to do after seeing Baylor yesterday. Do we risk losing the game by sitting a healthy Cam Rising?

In a perfect world, we do as you suggest and let him play a bit against…[Read more]

ProudUte replied to the topic Clayton Isbell with 3 INTs Tonight for Coastal Carolina in the forum Football 1 year, 4 months ago

I think (don’t know) that Isbell thought that he would not start with Vaki and Ritchie in the mix, so he went where he could start for his senior season. I respect that and wish him well.

ProudUte replied to the topic Utah vs Baylor in the forum Football 1 year, 4 months ago

I am with you on Barnes and Johnson. We need these guys to play loose. Both have enough talent to get it done IMO.

ProudUte started the topic Cam Rising to practice without limitations in the forum Football 1 year, 4 months ago

This article tells how Rising has been given permission to practice without limitations.

If cleared by the doctors, should he play this Saturday?

ProudUte started the topic Utah vs Baylor in the forum Football 1 year, 4 months ago

After yesterday’s results, the ESPN matchup predictor has us at a 73.2 % chance of winning. Obviously, Baylor’s defense (especially pass D) did not play well yesterday. Their offense generated over 400 yards passing, but much of that was late in the game when TSU was playing prevent. I expect Baylor’s coaches to correct some problems and we see…[Read more]

ProudUte started the topic Baylor down 42-24 early in the 4th in the forum Football 1 year, 4 months ago

Their D is terrible. They have given up 450 yards to Texas State with basically a quarter to go. Even if RIsing is ready, maybe we give him some more time to heal.

ProudUte started the topic The main issues that this team has IMO in the forum Football 1 year, 4 months ago

First, let me say that I am very pleased with the win on Thursday and the defense was great holding Florida’s running game to virtually nothing and getting 5 sacks. Our special teams were fantastic. However, there are three main issues IMO.

1. We have a ton if injuries. We won without 8 key players. I have been watching Utah football for over…[Read more]

ProudUte replied to the topic Typical Comment for a Gator Fan Online in the forum Football 1 year, 4 months ago

It sounds like what I read on the CB on Friday. They almost had me convinced that Utah really lost Thursday night.

ProudUte replied to the topic What do we know about Baylor? in the forum Football 1 year, 4 months ago

We know they couldn’t move the ball against BYU’s vaunted defense last season.

Actually, since I do not know anything about who they picked up in the portal and who is returning, I really don’t know much about them. They do appear to be a run-first team, which is good for us, especially if we get a few guys back.

If we were playing last year’s…[Read more]

ProudUte replied to the topic Who's going to Baylor? in the forum Football 1 year, 4 months ago

Lots to do in Dallas.

ProudUte replied to the topic Run Game in the forum Football 1 year, 4 months ago

Florida stacked the box virtually every first down. Even after the first play of the game, they continued to stack the box. In order for us to run successfully we will need to be able to complete some intermediate passes.

I think the run game will come especially after Rising returns.
