      Everyone is slamming Miami yet he’s not wrong. This team is on the cuspose of mediocrity and its depressing. Everything seems to be falling apart and it’s frustrating watching the decline!

      Yes NIL is going to ruin this game. We’re seing it across the board. It’s semi pro football now without regulation. The top Blue Bloods will always pull through. Winning histories, huge donors, prime locations and off the field perks (beautiful women, night life, celebrity status) will always prevail. These are still kids and honor, commitment and loyalty doesn’t exactly sway the young in today’s age.

      Utah has caught up a little from where it started but there’s still miles to go. Utah has to win and win in fashion going away! This slow and boring as HELL offense has to change and it needs to happen now. No more runs up the middle and throwing 5 yards short of the sticks! If WE all can see the issues and know exactly what play is going to be called in real time then obviously so does the other teams. No high powered offense then no talented receivers. No Myles. Not a single fan on this board would want to block all famn game as a WR and only have 2 targets.

      The defense will always be good to great. The ad will always get solid recruits and transfers. But the offense has to change and the OC is a great place to start. Whitt will be gone sooner than later but can we believe or trust Morgan will carry this team any different offensively? If he doesn’t then this slide and decline could be long and painful!

      Cam is never playing QB for Utah again. It’s
      pretty easy to read between the lines with his interview.
      Just hand the duty over to Wilson completely and let’s move on from this fiasco. As a fan, I’m ready to cheer on and support Wilson now regardless. Thank you Cam for what you did for this program!

      That’s exactly what I’ve been saying since Cam went out. There’s no leadership in this team on or off the field. Besides Bernard I haven’t seen anyone step up or give a damn.

      There’s also a lot more clowning around and being c**ky on the field than previous years I’ve seen. Thats also due to lack of leadership.

      I know this doesn’t bother some of you but watching players on the side lines laughing and joking it up while this team gets beat down p**ses me off. But that’s just the Marine in me.

      Without a doubt! I’ve been saying this since last season. I know there were a ton of injuries but it also felt like the team lost leadership and the edge to compete it usually always has.
      This coaching staff is out of its element. The Whittingham philosophy is no longer working. I see too many lazy and c**ky players on the field. Minus Bernard, I don’t see anyone on the field taking charge. Now with his comment that he knows what’s wrong but won’t say it hints at a coaching problem.
      This could definitely turn into a monumental slide exactly like the basketball program.
      I have zero faith in Harlan turning this around. He’s done absolutely nothing for this University! Nearly every single sport is having a rough time. Even our steady gymnastics team had chaos recently. The only sport thriving is women’s basketball.
      This University is going to need a little luck and a ton of NIL money to stay afloat.
      Honestly I’m truly sick to my stomach watching this team crumble and knowing this could be reality for a really long time. I hope I’m wrong about all of this!!

      This is the thing with some of you in here. Its slapping you right in the damn face but you won’t listen. Its maddening.

      “Morgan’s gonna change everything”
      “Morgan’s gonna go to an Urban Meyer Spread O”
      “Morgan’s gonna let everyone go”

      Why do you believe this? Wheres your proof things will change with Morgan’s?

      Morgan’s has ZERO experience coaching outside Utah. Zero!! He has no coaching connections outside of Utah. He’s never been a head coach anywhere! He’s Whitts protege!

      Let it go….this program needs a complete revamp and I mean COMPLETE! and that’s okay. That’s what good programs do! They chamge with the evolution of the game.

      ^This!
      The game passes every coach by at some point in their careers. The game itself evolves, players evolve and coaches who are stuck doing the same thing over and over every year get stagnant and eventually out coached. This is where Utah is at right now. On the cuspose of turning the page or on the cuspose of a steady decline.

      None of this though means Coach Whitt isn’t still capable of getting quality wins. It just means head scratch losses will become more common place. Wins on the road will be very difficult. Average seasons are what we can expect now.

      Give Coach Whitt his due, build him a statue or name the field after him. He’s an all-time great and we’re all lucky to have witnessed the progression of this program under his watch. I do believe we’re are watching his final season. I would really like to see him finish the rest of the year strong then hand the reins to Morgan.

      Let’s get this win! Go Utes!!

      Insecurities….brother it’s just a game. Are you projecting? It’s ok if you are. Some Fan harder that others. I don’t judge.
      What I and Miami are saying are factual. Some see facts as being “negative” or not being a “true fan” whatever the Hell that means.

      Facts are more offensive talent will leave or not commit altogether. Kids wanna be featured in an explosive or at least capable offense. Right now Utah has neither.

      …ain’t nobody reading that.
      I’ve bought into the hype to many times with this team. I’ve stood up for this program, coaches and players for decades.
      I’ve now taken off the Ute goggles and tralize this team hasn’t been dominant for years!! Yes it’s had some nice wins here and there. Yes they’ve beaten a few teams they weren’t supposed to.
      BUT….
      this team did back into a conference championship. (Some of you act like winning two PAC Championships is like 1984 for TDS)
      This team did beat WEAK USC teams.
      This team hasn’t won a bowl game since 2017.
      (That needs to stop being down played because it does matter)
      This team is always way over hyped.
      These coaches continue to kill the QB room by not having game ready QBs.
      This teams offenses are often more boring to watch and have zero consistency.
      Ludwig is a terrible OC and we all complain about in every game.
      Take off the Ute goggles and you’ll see this team really hasn’t been all that for a long time now.
      Utah is a solid team but not dominant and elite like we pretend it to be. Its a fact I even hate to admit.

      Likely? There’s no “salvaging” the season. It’s over because there’s no way we’re even gonna be in the Conference Championship. No Confetence Championship no Playoffs.
      There are so many damn things wrong with this team that it’d take a senior thesis to hammer it out!
      No leadership
      LBs are terrible
      DBs are terrible
      Cam is hurt again and frankly done playing ball
      Ludwig is a loon. Up the middle & short of the sticks
      Kyle looks tired and lost
      D is constantly out of position (no leadership)
      QB room is once again NOT game ready
      How in the Hell do we have so many injuries again?! Especially after a bye week?!
      What the Hell has Harlan really done for Utah?
      This team is on the verge to losing to TDS again!!
      I will NEVER again buy into the preseason hype!

      You would have to be the biggest Ute homer in the world to believe Utah is in the drivers seat or like you said “just win” and everythings okay. The problems this team has is more than just win. This coaching staff just got burned by an average to below average Pac12 team again for 2 years in a row! Coached by two different coaches too!
      This team has only one reliable RB. How is that possible? We used to be running back U!
      Bernard is a stud but he is not durable enough to play a whole season alone. Mitchell can’t pass protect and trips over his own feet. Glover falls down on a first contact.

      Cam is soaking it up and laughing and joking on the sideline raking in his 3 mil. I’m tired of the secrecy surrounding his return. I’m tired of seeing that once again this coaching staff doesn’t have a reliable game ready QB behind Cam. I’m tired of hearing how Ludwigs offense is really hard to master because it’s supposedly complicated. What the Hell is complicated? Running it up the middle 3 plays in a row? Always throwing short of the sticks on 3rd downs?

      The defense this year isn’t as great as we were told. Barton is a shell of his former self. The DBs are terrible. When’s the last time we had DBs we couldn’t count on? Vaughn is not a shut down corner. The other DBs are constantly out of position. Elijah Davis celebrates on every single play his way even when he does nothing at all.

      I just can’t understand how this team wasnt ready and looked like they did last night against a team that cooked us last year?! All week we heard about payback and making a statement. Well we did make a statement last night snd its we’re nowhere close to being ready to compete for a conference championship. On national television as well. Absolutely embarrassing!
