Both teams have become pass-first teams.  That’s not what Utah wants to be, but KW admits that is what we are right now.
I suspect both teams will have 300+ yards passing.  The difference maker may be our running game thanks to Cam Rising’s ability to run.  I would love to see Jackson get 5-6 touches tonight.  He needs to get some playing time to…[Read more]

I have been out of the country since Utah made the amazing comeback against USC.  I followed the board from time to time, but haven’t taken the time to post.
We played terrible defense against USC and UCLA (allowing over 500 yards) and had problems against OSU.  We have serious issues on defense.  I am a big Scalley fan, but I don’t think he has…[Read more]

These guys were gutsy last night. I’m impressed that they did not give up. I’m very proud of Rising and Kincaid.  They had amazing games. We may never play USC in SLC again. This was a great way to send them packing. 

That’s how they built a good team in year one.  
A year ago these guys were playing for Oregon, Oklahoma, Ohio State, Alabama, Washington, etc.

So, Troy Aikman said, “Take the dresses off” when referring to the questionable roughing the passer call on MNF.  Now, people are asking for his job and saying things like he is anti-woman.  
Wow, anything you say can be so twisted today.  He meant nothing anti-woman with his comment.  It is just a phrase.  I understand that there are…[Read more]

KW does not like the NIL and he made no bones about it today.  However, I think this article is just trying to stir things up between Utah and USC.
KW on NIL

“Ideally, we would like to kick every kickoff out of the endzone.”
It appears that most teams are much more successful at this than we are.  Why?  We need to find a guy who can kick it long.  I am not concerned about accuracy.  Just use him on kickoffs.  There has to be some Utah high school football or soccer player that can kick it 70 yards…[Read more]

There is a new program on channel 2 called “Talking Utah.”  It is on Sunday night at 11:00 PM.  It is all about Utah football.  Most important it supports the players via NIL.  They will have two Utah players on each Sunday.  This week the guests were Cam Rising and Clark Phillips.
I have been impressed with Cam Rising for a long time.  I was…[Read more]

I appreciate our coaching staff and I realize that there is a lot more going on with each play call than I know.  That being said, here are a few things I would have done differently.
1. When we scored a TD and there were two separate penalties against UCLA – KW decided to take on of the penalties and go for two.  We did get the conversion. …[Read more]

First of all – I need to remind myself that is just a football game and I should not let this loss affect my life.
We are not the team that many of us hoped we would be.  It is not just what we saw yesterday, it is the season as a whole.  
Our defense is not good.  Obviously, losing Lloyd, Sewell and Tafuna cost us more than some including me…[Read more]

Our kickoff team sucks!!!
We must have the weakest kicker in all of the FBS.  He cannot get it in the endzone.
Then our kick coverage is pathetic.  It set UCLA up in good field position all day long.

But, our defense is just not very good.  Against OSU we had 4 PIs and that was great, but outside of that, we did not stop them.  Add to that – UCLA’s play calling was amazing.  They mixed it up and exploited our weaknesses.
I think our offense did good but missed some good opportunities.  We got nearly 500 yards and passed and ran well.  
I am…[Read more]

The defense looks terrible.  The offense looks very good except they have blown opportunities.
Somehow, Scalley and team need to figure out a way to stop the Bruins.

But, if we rush for less than 100 – I think we lose.
We need to figure out how to be productive in the running game today.  We can and will pass effectively IMO, but I think we need more to win in Pasadena today.
Go Utes!!!
 
 

Looks like it will be in the mid-80s at the Rose Bowl.  It’s a big game.
Go Utes!!!
 

We have had inconsistencies in the offense each week.  We have corrected some, but then new ones pop up.  For example, we were bad in the red zone against ASU but did great against OSU.  Definitely had running problems last week that we din not have previously.  He hopes it all comes together this week.
Believes Tavion Thomas is ready to deliver…[Read more]

I have not seen anything yet.

He feels like he has played good this season but knows there are things he could improve on.  He doesn’t like to compare to last season because that was a different year.
Shout out to the defense for what they did in the red-zone against OSU.
OSU was loading up the box and bringing the safeties in.  They had us well-scouted and knew what we were…[Read more]

I hope he ends his career on a high note.

Can’t afford to be mad.  I just need to embrace it and make the best of it.
He will be going to LA for the surgery.  It is scheduled for this Thursday.  He will be back in SLC on Monday.
Wants to help the team out in any way that he can.  Pain is a lot worse than last week.  He is basically immobile.  When he gets mobile, he will try to get back…[Read more]
