SantaVaca replied to the topic Is there a reason anyone feels like Harding deserves a pass at this point? in the forum Football 3 years, 2 months ago

Ya I’ve lost faith in Harding. Although is it his fault that the play call on 4th and 2 was a run up the middle? That had, at best, a 15 – 20% chance of working in my opinion.

Why not run a sweep or roll Brewer out for a short dump off pass to a TE? Anything but a predictable run up the middle from shotgun would have been better. When we…[Read more]

SantaVaca replied to the topic Everyone is jumping ship a little early in the forum Football 3 years, 2 months ago

I hope you’re right. I’ve made it through the 5 stages of grief and I’m looking forward to how they look against SDSU. But I just don’t see how we somehow get stronger and better in 6 days on both the offensive and defensive lines.

I’m still shocked that we looked so bad in both areas. When was the last time, you saw any team – ANY TEAM line…[Read more]

SantaVaca started the topic This loss came down to 3 things in the forum Football 3 years, 2 months ago

Our piss poor offensive line. I made a post after the Weber game that I was really worried about what we were going to do when it’s 3rd and 4 and we need to get a first down to keep a drive going. And those fears were realized last night when we only ran 54 plays because we couldnt convert a 3rd down to save our lives. I thought Brewer looked fine…[Read more]

SantaVaca started the topic So I think the BYU game will come down to 1 thing in the forum Football 3 years, 2 months ago

Turnovers.
I think Utah will be able to move the ball ok and while I’m scared of what we’re going to do when it’s late in the game and it’s 3rd and 4 and we need a first down, I think our passing game is much improved so hopefully that will swing those plays in our favor.
I think BYU will probably score 20-25 points and will have the crowd…[Read more]

SantaVaca replied to the topic Does anyone know if we will be allowed to be at full capacity for football games in the forum Football 3 years, 6 months ago

My guess is we will start the season at full capacity but will probably need to show vaccination cards. In fact, it wouldn’t surprise me if airlines and hotels will start to require this as well.

I’ve always felt that once government has a certain amount of control, they are leery to let it go.

I just wish everyone would just get the vaccine…[Read more]

SantaVaca replied to the topic Secondary in the forum Football 3 years, 7 months ago

I think everyone has kind of touched on this but there were so many plays where the Dlineman literally stopped before hitting Brewer. In fact, I think we might be getting a little ahead of ourselves with our offense. Let’s see how Brewer reacts when the bullets are live and he can’t sit back waiting for receivers to get open, knowing that he…[Read more]

SantaVaca started the topic First half standouts in the forum Football 3 years, 7 months ago

I think the 3 players that seem to look the best are: Brewer, Carlton, and Vele. All 3 looks awesome.
Also, the stadium looks awesome! Can’t get over how great it’s going to look when it’s completed.

SantaVaca replied to the topic Live from the stadium and Sweet Caroline… in the forum Football 3 years, 7 months ago

Nah. It’s fine. I don’t know why people care so much about that song. Live and let live.

SantaVaca started the topic With Jenkins coming over from UNLV, how many scholarships do we have open now? in the forum Basketball (Men) 3 years, 7 months ago

I can’t remember but did Worster from USU commit officially? Also with Gabe Madsen signing, how many more guys can we sign?
I know Timmy Allen is gone, but if he actually came back, this team might just make the tournament.
Any guesses on who else we might sign?

SantaVaca replied to the topic What are your expectations for next year's basketball season? in the forum Basketball (Men) 3 years, 7 months ago

I think if Smith can just keep the core / starting players from leaving every year, we should be a tournament team 80% of the time.

I really liked Coach K but if Smith can just keep the players around, I will be happy with that for a while.

I’m also hoping that Smith lands some unknown recruit that no one knew about. IF we get 1 extra player…[Read more]

SantaVaca replied to the topic Obviously, Alex is in negotiations with Harlan in the forum Basketball (Men) 3 years, 8 months ago

Right, cause the team with the best record in the NBA with 2 months remaining in the season could never make a long playoff run.

SantaVaca started the topic Obviously, Alex is in negotiations with Harlan in the forum Basketball (Men) 3 years, 8 months ago

If Alex wasn’t interested in the job, he would have already turned it down by now. So I guess it’s a god sign that he’s still in play. My guess is either he is holding out for more money from the U or the Jazz are trying to offer him more money to stay. I think the appeal to return to your alma mater and run your own program sounds very…[Read more]
