Rick replied to the topic 2024 – Points per game in the forum Football 4 months, 2 weeks ago
I think our PPG in the Big 12 will be higher than what it averaged in the PAC 12. There are zero defensive juggernauts in this conference. There are not defenses like Oregon State, Oregon, Washington, UCLA, Cal in this conference. I think we will be fine on offense. We have to defend the pass better in this conference because there are several…[Read more]

You could combine the USS Salt Lake City concept with the demise of the Pac 12 and show a sinking ship. That could be fun!

Rick replied to the topic Football question of the day in the forum Football 5 months, 1 week ago
A big question for me is replacing the pressure that our safeties provided last season. If we can keep our productivity up there, I am confident that our DEs, DLs, and LBs will be as good or better than last season. Also, how much man coverage will our corners be able to provide. Pass rush is not just a product of a good DE or two.

Rick replied to the topic TE Question????? in the forum Football 5 months, 1 week ago
I think comparing any offensive player on this year’s team to their production last year is a bad analysis. King is a good TE. We didn’t discover that until later in the season because we had extremely poor QB play and a pretty bad pass blocking O-Line.

Rick replied to the topic FOOTBALL is almost here! in the forum Football 5 months, 1 week ago
I think the offensive line will be a HUGE factor in the run vs. pass mix decision. Last season was not a very good pass protection o-line. I am hoping they have improved in that area but Cam needs the threat of the run both from him personally and our RBs for his type of passing game to be effective. He is not some 6’5″ gunslinging pocket…[Read more]

I think he is sandbagging.

Rick replied to the topic Running Utes Starting Lineup 2024-25: Please fill in the blanks in the forum Basketball (Men) 5 months, 2 weeks ago
This lineup, no matter how it ends up, will not be even close to as good as last year’s lineup at full strength and will not finish outside of the bottom 25% of our new conference. I just don’t see it. No one listed is in BC’s ballpark and there is no one on this roster as talented as Deivon.

Rick replied to the topic Does the Big 12 have a sleeping giant? in the forum Football 5 months, 2 weeks ago
Phoenix is a bigger market than Cincy or Orlando. The city of Houston doesn’t give one crap about their university in relation to the big dogs in that state (Texas and TAMU) and their pro teams. Also, ASU has a massive alumni base in the Phoenix area and they have a good, young coach. Once, they cycle out of the mess that Herm left them, they…[Read more]

Rick replied to the topic This is the year that we should open up the offense IMO. in the forum Football 5 months, 4 weeks ago
I really don’t understand all of the lamenting on this board about JQJ. At best, he was a very moderate success at RB for us. He was an average blocker at best. He ran high and fumbled a lot. He only had 5 games in 2 seasons with 100+ yards rushing. His average yards per carry declined from 2022 to 2023 by 2 whole yards. He was hurt almost…[Read more]

Michigan would be way worse than Utah in terms of throwing downfield!

Well it’s about damn time! They are the state university of the state of New Jersey! Their excuse for sucking is a joke!

Did he play with Wilson last season? I don’t remember him. I love his size and speed though!

Love the size on this kid. Seems super bright too! If we can land Rock Olsen, we will have a decent OL class!

He is BYU’s color guy on their broadcasts now isn’t he?

Rick replied to the topic Utah offers Hans Olsen's son in the forum Football 6 months, 1 week ago
I watched some of his highlights on Hudl and he is a huge kid but he tends to hold quite a bit. Hope he can clean that up this season. He will probably become a zoob anyway.

“Hello Utah” for the win! That would be absolutely hilarious! It wasn’t just Donny and Marie, it was the entire clan, including little Jimmy!

Rick replied to the topic Worst parts of the game day experience and how to fix them? in the forum Football 6 months, 1 week ago
The narrow concourses are a huge problem for me. Running more Trax trains before and after games would also help. Not having the trains wait and wait until they fill up completely to the max along with more trains would speed up pre and post game congestion. Or maybe stagger the train stops and have one on the east side of the stadium along…[Read more]

Rick replied to the topic Which away football atmosphere did you enjoy the most? in the forum Football 6 months, 2 weeks ago
Sugar Bowl #1, Notre Dame #2, first USC game in the Colosseum #3 because it said that “we have arrived.”
Worst: U of A, Cal, anything at Sam Boyd Stadium.
