We did better than I expected this year with 9 wins. Remember, we only won 7 games last year. We won the PAC 12 South, beat BYU and some really good teams like Oregon, UCLA, Stanford and Arizona and played in the Holiday Bowl. The loss to Washington and Northwestern should leave a big chip on the shoulders of our returning lettermen, I hope. We’ve got to get a really good Offensive Coordinator and hope that Moss returns.

D—Bradley Anae, he was on the cusp of being a Nate Orchard reincarnated.
O—Samson Nacua, he made some big catches last year as a true freshman.  However, he’s got to stay away from penalties and he has a lot of competition in the slot (Covey).

Is he related to Ute Pace Mannion?

These are just a few thoughts on the Huntley versus Williams discussion. I don’t suggest one QB over the other but merely make some observations about our QB situation this year.
1. With our porous offensive line, it was probably better to have Huntley at QB rather than Williams. Huntley was more mobile and it seemed as though Williams sat in the pocket too long and took the sack or threw up the ball up for grabs. The porous offensive line also created pressure that Williams couldn’t handle as well.
2. Huntley has got to learn to RPO to Moss rather than play “hero” ball and run it. It makes him vulnerable to hits and injuries. I understand QB designed runs are part of the Troy Taylor offensive scheme but the RPO adds more runs to Huntley’s snaps and potential injury.
3. The one thing that Williams couldn’t do on a consistent basis is “keep his eyes downfield. (remember USC on the 2 point conversion)” That’s one thing that Huntley could do after scrambling. It meant additional yards, crucial first downs and continued offensive flow (there were too many times when we couldn’t keep the defense off the field because the offense sputtered. Our defense tired.)
4. The reason Tyler Huntley beat out Troy Williams despite Troy’s experience was that Huntley better fit Taylor’s offensive system, especially with the dual threat concept. I don’t know if Taylor is flexible enough to fit his personnel into his system rather than the other way around.
5. Finally, I wish Taylor could incorporate a traditional screen pass into our playbook. It would take pressure off of the quarterback and especially on third down, as was the case against West Virginia.

I’m a Redskins fan dating back to the ’70s.  As long as Snyder owns the team, it will be a mess!!!!

By the way, Max Browne the former USC QB and now Youtube sensations has picked Utah over UW.

I love this site because it’s primarily aboout Ute sports. I go to UFN to bone up on my political argumentation skills. The problem is that even though the leftists get creamed by my arguments, they still don’t know why.

There’s an old saying in sports and coaching, “It’s not the X’s and O’s, it’s the Jimmy’s and Joe’s.” How much is it the coaching versus the maturity, basketball IQ, chemistry and discipline of the players themselves? I’m not sure.

The tiebreakers are the Arizona Wildcat losses, twice by Cal and once by Utah, rather than Arizona State Sun Devils.

I live in California and the state is dysfunctional.  

We expend billions of dollars on a high speed rail that goes from nowhere to nowhere while our Oroville Dam that provides water for the rest of state has been in disrepair for decades.  Repair could cost $200 million.  

We allow tens of thousands of undocumented immigrants to cross the border that according to the National Acadamy of Sciences reports “…illegal border-crossers shows a net fiscal drain of $74,722 per illegal crosser.”  

The Sacramento Bee reports that “About 5 million Californians left between 2004 and 2013. Roughly 3.9 million people came here from other states during that period, for a net population loss of more than 1 million people.”  

One of the previous posters referred to California as the 6th largest economy in the world.  Since I’ve lived here we, we’ve dropped from a higher ranking.  

The the eductational community and body politic tries to legislate teaching Russian hacking in our educational cirricula, allows professors at Orange County Community College to declare that the presidential election was an act of terrorism and allows the University of California at Berkeley campus to burn down.

What’s there not to like about California?
