ProudUte started the topic Reid interview on 1280 in the forum Football 1 month, 4 weeks ago
Notes from the weekly Reid interview:
– He said the LB group looked good. Hall looked good.
– He was not on the sideline for the game on Saturday. (I thought that was odd.)
– He didn’t get overly nervous when the team was down 14-3.
– He thought Wilson looked good and composed himself well. He is excited for his future. He has a great…[Read more]

ProudUte started the topic It is suppose to be 95 degrees at game time on Saturday in the forum Football 1 month, 4 weeks ago
Both teams have to play in the same weather, but I hate games where it is so crazy hot, especially on Field Turf.
This stadium is unique because it is laid out east/west instead of the normal north/south. If you are looking back west for the ball, it may be hard to see in a late afternoon game.

ProudUte replied to the topic Ok State is -3 as of this morning in the forum Football 1 month, 4 weeks ago
How the game plays out is almost impossible to predict. For example – who would have predicted a 13-12 score in the Georgia/Kentucky game? Kentucky lost at home 31-6 just the week before to South Carolina. Who predicted Northern Illinois would beat Notre Dame?
Football can be a weird game to predict. Neither Ok State or Utah have such…[Read more]

I predicted -3.5 on Saturday night. They typically give 3 points for the home team. So, I guess they are saying this is pretty much a toss-up. OnlyU says Cam is playing. As of today, this seems to be our toughest game on the schedule.
What do you guys think?

Also Pittmn. Where did he go?

ProudUte started the topic I would love to know what is in Whitt's head in the forum Football 2 months ago
Whit knows Football as well as anyone. But, we only hear coach speak from him. So, we really never know too much about the team and the gameplan. (Normal foral coaches.) I wish we could hear him talk as a commentator about this week’s game. What will Utah do to stop OSU’s passing attack? What will the offensive scheme be? Which receivers will…[Read more]

He certainly is not as good without his partners, Reid and Damuni.

ProudUte started the topic What I liked about Wilson's play yesterday in the forum Football 2 months ago
I was unhappy about the play of our D yesterday, but I am optimistic about what I saw from Isaac Wilson. What I liked most was how he checked down and found the open receiver. Over and over again, you could see him check down. He did not just throw to the first guy. That takes some maturity. He also did not have happy feet and leave the…[Read more]

ProudUte replied to the topic 3 games in, has your W-L prediction for Utah changed? in the forum Football 2 months ago
I don’t think our D is nearly as good as advertised. That really shouldn’t be a surprise considering we lost our two safeties to the NFL as well as our best edge rusher. We also lost our top tackler to an injury. So, I think expectations (especially mine) were set too high.
I am unsure about our offense because we have only seen one half of…[Read more]

ProudUte replied to the topic Help me feel better in the forum Football 2 months ago
I hope we do what Notre Dame did after their loss last week to a G5 team. Sometimes the best thing that can happen to you in sports is to pull out a win when you played ugly. It serves as a wake-up call. I hope this is the case for Scalley and the D. Also, we need Reid back BIG-time!!!

Sorry, that does not explain the pathetic defensive effort.

ProudUte started the topic Help me feel better in the forum Football 2 months ago
I was shocked by how bad our D played today. Also, Baylor only has about 100 total yards at half time against a bad AF team. So, I don’t think we can say we played great D against the Bears.
I started to sip the kool-aid, and now I have thrown it up. As it sits now, my expectations have been lowered. I think we are probably 8-4 or at best a…[Read more]

ProudUte replied to the topic Why do the stats only give Isaac 3 TD passes? in the forum Football 2 months ago
Yeah, you are right on the pass to Kuithe. My bad!

ProudUte replied to the topic Isaac Wilson should get game ball for this one. in the forum Football 2 months ago
I agree. He was amazing with his check-downs. He threw high early on, but settled down. He now has gained some confidence.

ProudUte replied to the topic The good and bad in two sentences in the forum Football 2 months ago
Yes, Stanley has some drops. But, that does NOT excuse that defensive effort.
-
ProudUte started the topic Why do the stats only give Isaac 3 TD passes? in the forum Football 2 months ago
He had two in the first half, the shuttle pass to Kuithe, and the 4th-down TD pass. That makes 4. Maybe they aren’t counting the shuttle pass, but I am quite sure it was a forward pass.
My favorite was the pass to Lohner.

ProudUte replied to the topic Utah should NOT be struggling against USU in the forum Football 2 months ago
That defense will get destroyed next Saturday unless some significant changes are made.

ProudUte started the topic The good and bad in two sentences in the forum Football 2 months ago
Good – I think we found a good backup QB.
Bad – That was the worst defensive effort in a very long time.

ProudUte started the topic One of the most pathetic defensive efforts in the Scalley era in the forum Football 2 months ago
Keep in mind that this is USU under the Pig Farmer. How is USU beating us up so badly?
The offense has not played great but they came alive in the last ten minutes of the half. Wilson is starting to gain some confidence. Yes we have two PIs and we are dang lucky to get them. They are running well and passing great against us. We need more…[Read more]

ProudUte replied to the topic OnlyU lied about our OL in the forum Football 2 months ago
We can see if they improve but that effort for the first 20 minutes was terrible and so was the effort in the second half last week. They are nowhere near the best Oline in Whitt’s tenure.
