ProudUte replied to the topic Pregame thoughts in the forum Football 2 months ago
You are very optimistic about Utah football. Probably more so than any other Ute fan I know. Good for you. I hope you are right!!!
I don’t think today will be as easy as you think, but I hope so. 🙂

ProudUte replied to the topic Poaching Jay Hill in the forum Football 2 months ago
The Utes would love to have Jay Hill, but I am quite sure that it won’t happen.
First – I am not sure if Hill would want to work for Scalley, not because they dislike each other. I just think that it would be awkward for Hill to coach under Scalley. When Scalley becomes head coach – he will need to be the guy in charge. (It will be his team and…[Read more]

ProudUte replied to the topic Watching Ok state in the forum Football 2 months ago
The interesting thing is that Ollie Gordon is yet to have a good game this season. They have become passing team.
I like their passing game a lot. They put up a lot of yards last season, but had too many turnovers. They have seemed to clean it up. I get that they are only playing Tulsa, but Tulsa is not terrible.
I think our D will be tested…[Read more]

True. He would be recruiting regardless. But, taking a helicopter from Logan personally…
If he was thinking of retiring – I think he would let Scalley make the final push. But, I admit that I don’t know anything.

ProudUte replied to the topic Gameday in the forum Football 2 months ago
I really want to see Isaac gain confidence. Playing with confidence is so important in sports. A guy who plays with confidence (not cocky) is going to play much better than someone who is worried how he will play.
Back in the 70s, Utah’s QB was injured and the backup wasn’t getting it done. Coach Meek decided to play Safety, Steve Marshall.…[Read more]

Wow, sounds like you are older than me. I do not remember the day after Thanksgiving games. I assume they must have been in the late 50s?

ProudUte replied to the topic Whitt in a 🚁 in the forum Football 2 months ago
Since Whitt is recruiting Jerome Myles personally – I’m guessing that he is not planning to retire at the end of this season.

ProudUte replied to the topic I hear Cam will dress but not start in the forum Football 2 months ago
I don’t disagree, but that’s not Whitt’s style. He knows with his defense and a 17 point lead, if the offense does not give up the ball – he Utes will win.

ProudUte started the topic I hear Cam will dress but not start in the forum Football 2 months ago
I have heard from a couple of sources that Cam is not practicing this week, so his finger can fully heal. But, that does not mean that he won’t dress. One source said they have a few plays in the gameplan for Cam if Wilson is struggling. However, the intent is to NOT have him play.
If you are looking for style points – you will likely be…[Read more]

Looks like they and the betters know Cam will not be playing. 🙁
Go Isaac Wilson!!! I hope he has a great game.

ProudUte started the topic You gotta love Mitchell's confidence in the forum Football 2 months ago
This quote is from a KSL.com article about the Utes’ running game.
Against Utah State, Mitchell is calling it a “statement” game for the running backs.
“This game forward, this Week 3 game is gonna be a statement,” he said. “It’s gonna be a statement for us RBs, all of us, all around. Micah had a 100-yard rushing game. Our goal for the game:…[Read more]

ProudUte started the topic Coaches confident in Isaac Wilson in the forum Football 2 months ago
This article talks about Utah coaches being confident in Isaac Wilson. There is not a lot new in the article, but there is a very important point – They need to make the decision early in the week who will play so the QB can get the necessary reps. So, hopefully the staff has decided who will go.
Last season, Cam would get…[Read more]

ProudUte replied to the topic Backup qb situation in the forum Football 2 months ago
Eagle, I get that you don’t want a repeat of last year. Our offense was something less than terrible at times. It was a painful season for me and many other Utes. We looked at all the talent we have and hoped for an amazing season. Then, we saw the second half of the Baylor game, and all of those negative memories came back. To be honest, it…[Read more]

ProudUte replied to the topic Let's give Wilson a chance in the forum Football 2 months ago
I am not often called an optimist. 🙂
Whitt said in his presser they were not going to let Wilson take any risks and they closed the playbook.
Is Wilson going to be our future QB? I really don’t know. I admit that he has not looked great. I hope we see a much better Isaac Wilson in the future.

ProudUte started the topic Let's give Wilson a chance in the forum Football 2 months ago
There has been a lot of talk about how bad Wilson looked on Saturday. I cannot argue with much of this. However, there are three things to consider:
1. Whitt admitted that they did not want to risk anything with a 23-point lead. Its tough to judge much when the playbook was basically closed.
2. Look at “once in a generation QB”, Caleb Willims…[Read more]

ProudUte started the topic Whitt's weekly presser notes in the forum Football 2 months ago
They joined the press conference a bit late,so I don’t know what he said in the first fe minutes.
5 yards a carry is the benchmark for our running game. We were at 4.7. When our run game is clicking we will be around 230 yards. There is more that we need to do. Bernard had a good game.
USC is much better on defense. Barnes didn’t look bad…[Read more]

ProudUte started the topic Did Vele ever have 8 catches in a game in college? in the forum Football 2 months ago
Vele had 8 catches for the Broncos in his rookie debut. Did he ever have 8 catches while playing at Utah? I honestly don’t know the answer. If he did, it did not happen often.

That’s a weird time. Normally the game time would be 1:30. I hope it’s not too hot.

ProudUte replied to the topic Cam shouldn't play Saturday (even if available) in the forum Football 2 months ago
Tony, I get what you are saying, and it makes some sense. But, I think I still want to see Cam play a half. I think Cam still has some timing issues to work out with his receivers before we go to Stillwater the next week.
Either way – Go Utes!!!
