No gloom and doom for me. I have posted consistently that I think we can still beat Florida and Baylor without Rising. And, if we don’t – oh well.

Are we better with Rising? Absolutely!

Yes, Covey took over two years to be 100%.

If Kuither, Rising, and Rose were all healthy – I would feel good about it. I think we can still win our first two games, but it will be much more challenging without Rising and Kuithe.

You seem to know what you are talking about, so I assume you are right. However, a Dnews article just last week said that he still wasn’t on a scholarship. (Seemed odd to me.) Their info may have been outdated and wrong.

I think you may see it on third and short or inside the five.

The only shock is the Rose injury. The rest was at least somewhat suspected. It is what it is. Now the other guys need to step it up and lead us to victory.

Go Utes!!!

It is not ideal, but I don’t think Cam can be close to 100%. Ludwig needs to make a game plan that allows Barnes to use his skills. He is not my first choice, but the kid has some athletic ability and he is familiar with our system. The interesting thing is that I hear Barnes still doe not have a scholarship.

Most of the drive to Park City is on I80. It’s not a difficult ride at all. Some of the other ski resorts are up windy canyons. Park City is an easy drive (unless it’s snowing). It is a great place to stay.

Yes. Look at Covery in 2019. He had surgery in December the previous year. He tried to play a few plays early on, but ended up sitting the rest of the season. He wasn’t really himself in the shortened 2020 season either. But, he came back strong in 2021.

I wish the best for Rising and Kuithe (especially in the long term).

I am glad you are making the trip. I was at Gainsville last September. I hope you enjoy your trip.

Go Utes!

I agree with your assessment. I have told people that if Cam cannot go in the early games that he gets to play 10-15 snaps against Weber so he can be game-ready for UCLA.

I agree with you on Baylor. We need to win that game in the trenches. Our Oline needs to open some holes for JJ, Bernard, Glover, et al. Our Dline needs to stop the run and…[Read more]

Bishop has to be close to the top 100 IMO.

I hope Kuithe gets healthy and has an amazing season and is picked in the first round like his partner Kincaid was.

I am also thinking that his first game may be against UCLA.

I am no doctor, but I do not see how a D1 college QB can be ready to play with just two weeks of practice – after an eight-month rehab where you have done little on that knee. Seems that you would need more than two weeks to get ready to play. However, I readily admit that I know very…[Read more]

Baylor is already recruiting many local kids and has a few commitments. They do have a couple of coaches with some local ties.
