Well, I guess Jackson or Ja’Quinden it is.

Wrong. His family has asked to not use JJ.

We’re intentionally holding back the playbook until the big games. Like USC. That’ll show them! Once we have a lead, we are unstoppable, so don’t show anything and run the clock out! 🙂 We could score 40 if we wanted, but we just don’t want to ;).

Nah, after Bentley and Brewer, we were going with Nate, Brandon, and Bryson even if Cam didn’t come back (non-injury, going to NFL metaverse).

I mean, Whitt hasn’t been DC in quite a while, so it’s Scalley’s scheme now ;). I’ve felt that you play zone to cover up an individual talent gap but if you have the talent, you play more man on man. I could be wrong. You need some safety support, but a good passer will find the one on one and exploit it and make the defender beat your WR. Against…[Read more]

My issue is this: if NJ has been in the program a year, split reps with Barnes in fall camp, then got more reps going into games 2 and 3, with 50/50 for game 4 (with Cam), why is he only at 1/2 of the playbook? Is it because Ludwig’s playbook is that large? Seems like he’d be further along, can’t get it down, or has some limitations the coaches…[Read more]

And like that, just like rookie year, he started the season on the practice squad (and can only be pulled up for games 3 times) and is now signed to the active roster for the season (full 2nd year minimum salary rather than weekly practice squad pay). Tough that he has to keep proving himself, but he is a luxury to have as a returner taking a…[Read more]

Expand on this: “no one has left the PAC-12 yet…outside of USC and UCLA” – what do you mean?

CU has been given the letter saying they have no vote. And with the acceptance into Big 10 (UO, UW) and Big 12 (UA, ASU, Utah), are you saying they ‘haven’t left’ just because they are playing this year in the PAC12 and not officially in the new c…[Read more]

Amen

Well, the last 2 years, Cam has hurt his knee in the Rose Bowl. 1st time, he played 14 games before injury. Last year, he came back game 4 so was good for 11 games. So, maybe we only have 8 games out of this knee, so we have to choose wisely. That would be waiting for USC after the BYE and he’d make it into the bowl game … and this is his last…[Read more]

UCLA had speed so getting around the edge was hard, but what if, what if, we actually pulled a guard or tackle to block on an outside run?! Or throw a screen if the defense is over-pursuing?!

All 22 points by Utes on Sunday (Moss with a receiving TD to add to 122 yards), Gay with XP and 5 FG including the game winner and 4 were 50+ yds!

Agree – l-loss and there is little room for error. I’m guessing a 1-loss team and a 2-loss team (with tie-breakers) will be in the CCG. No one is getting out of conference play unscathed, but we have @USC, Ore, @UW coming up and going to be hard to win all of those (if any if we can’t improve on our current offense). Beating OSU would keep some…[Read more]

I set up a smaller TV next to my bigger one so I can watch 2 games same time. It’s been great. YouTubeTV has an option for 4 at a time, but 1) I don’t have it, 2) It makes them all 1/4 of a screen so kind of small – need Lebron’s setup (9 TVs with 1 main game on 4 and other games on the other 5).

You get 1 free transfer without sitting? But since they went FCS –> FBS, maybe they still have one more. But I Shilo went SC to JS to CU as a grad transfer, so he’s probably looking to NFL if possible. Other than NIL, Shedeur probably goes NFL. So, really, it’s just the daughter. I guess we’ll see 😉

Agree. But next year, when there’s no Kuithe (maybe?) nor Yassmin? Juicy

Kids will go where they go, but let’s just take Jericho Johnson, a 4* DL. 247 says he’s warm between UW, UO, USC, and us. How hard is it to talk about playing at any of the other 3 and having to fly 4-5 hours to some games in a time zone 2-3 ahead of pacific? Maybe the B1G is appealing vs Big 12, but the realities might be different. He’s a CA…[Read more]

BR is an interesting one. I had no clue what recovery from a lacerated liver might be, but I’m sure he has to work himself back into shape but also probably doesn’t get as many reps as QB1 (whether that’s NJ or CR or a mix) as they get ready for conference play. Unfortunate and freak injury so he probably is now buried on the depth chart when he…[Read more]

Even if Cam didn’t come back, I think the coaches would have gone with Rose or Johnson. I don’t think they would have necessarily tried to get a starter from the portal. Bentley and Brewer anyone? I think it spooked the process of getting a mercenary qb into the system we do. Maybe they look, but we are still old school and had 2 4* qbs to develop…[Read more]

It is the PAC12 network, after all 😉
