Are we all not sure we are just waiting to hire the UNLV guy after the MWC championship game? He would be my first choice of all of the others that have gone elsewhere.

“… Sean doesn’t usually put stuff like that out on air so I think there’s some truth..” Now this is the funniest thing I have read all week!

Meh. Best of luck to him.

I find it funny that the offense you describe as Whit’s is pretty much the offense of most of the top NFL teams and most successful college teams.

Those are some gorgeous helmets! I think we are going to win. Gut feeling. I have seen ISU play a few times this season and they will be one of the few teams we play that will not be faster than us at most positions (BYU being the other). I like our chances with a pumped up crowd and a healthy Isaac Wilson.

Exactly. No one cares at all about bowl game performances anymore. If you are not in the playoffs, no one cares nor most will not even watch. With the players opting out for the NFL, entering the portal before the bowl game, etc. non-playoff bowl games are a complete joke and lend zero credence to recruiting.

Well the copyright is for 2015 so probably not.

I don’t think UteHub existed in 2012 so of course there were no calls to fire Whitt. I remember on a certain other Utah fan site that there were numerous calls for his head after both 2012 and 2013 seasons. That Whitt was not a PAC 12 level coach, etc.

If Whitt wants to stay and fix this, I think the University owes him that much. If he has…[Read more]

The OL grade support what I have seen. Our two OTs are studs. Calhoun and Teo are studs. We need to make sure these four get taken care of in the off season. I do think that Kump and Togia are serviceable and we can build on them. If you watched the game Saturday, our pass protection was really good. NO ONE was getting open. Zero…[Read more]

The jump pass was not done during McBride’s time. It was an Urban Meyer/Dan Mullen play with Ben Moa.

They need to bring Larry K back in with his sweet grass and smoke out the football facilities!

I am 100% in agreement with AZUTE. Our tackles are elite. The interior OL has had some issues but it is largely because teams have stacked the box and dared us to throw. We have no WRs that can get any kind of separation and our “elite” TE play has been suspect all season. Blaming this on the OL is pretty typical of people who never consider…[Read more]

I think our linebacker play this season has been very poor. Bad reads, poor tackling, guessing instead of reading, etc. I think the injuries have also taken their toll on the athleticism of this position group. They just look slow and it is not just Barton. However, almost 100% of the fault on this teams is on the offensive side of the ball…[Read more]

I watched the BYU vs. SMU game. SMU was auditioning two different QBs during that game and had zero offensive cohesion at that point. It almost seemed like a throw away game for SMU. I think SMU would beat BYU by at least 7 or more points now.

I got a cure to all of the issues discussed on this board today. WIN. You win, this conference looks a lot better. You win, BYU fans shut the hell up. This program has gone 12-10 or a 54% winning percentage the past two seasons. That is really not much better than we have done back in the 70’s and 80’s.

How do you win? You win with talent,…[Read more]

Has anyone seen when the flag was actually thrown vs. when their QB was smothered by 4 Utes and then sacked? That would be very interesting if anyone has made that comparison.

I think our success with be against teams that don’t guard the perimeter very well. Like the past two teams we have played. Teams like Houston and Baylor will likely kill us with their perimeter quickness. However, I think we can hold our own with some of the less athletic teams. This team has some pretty serious shooters on it and their…[Read more]

Why wouldn’t he pick SMU over USC?

I don’t see it. Not compared to teams from the 2022 season and back. Compare this team to the 2019 team on both sides of the ball position by position, who you would keep vs. replace, and I think you would pretty much swap out this entire team with that team. That is NOT progress.

I have seen some very good plays by Isaac and some very bad plays. He is young and I believe he will grow into a fine QB. I would like to see an offense installed that is more like what he ran in high school. He is a decent runner and it was key to his success at Corner Canyon. I am hoping he stays, hits the weights and training table hard and…[Read more]
