I think it is clear he made the wrong move last year, but you can’t switch it up again and regress. I do think that Utah’s best chance to win in the Pac12 is an offense more like the last 2 years. Power run game and solid defense. We looked like that agains USC and it was a nice blueprint of what we should be doing. Last we came back to Huntly,…[Read more]

I completely agree with you. A mediocre system looks a lot better when players have a couple years to really grasp it. My point was that Taylor is less qualified and has done less than any OC since Brian Johnson and NOW everyone wants to give the OC some slack? So, my question, which truly was a question, is why do people like this guy so much as an OC?

The only defensive stats that matter are scoring defense and turn overs. We’ve been pretty good at both this year. Giving up 30 when your offense can’t get a first down is somewhat respectable.

Troy Taylor also does’t have any experience against “real competition” so him having the balls to go with Huntley really doesn’t mean anything or inspire any confidence.

Two of your points (new OC, and new starting QB) serve to strengthen OP’s point regarding questioning if Whitt is the right coach to take us to the next level. Both of those are decisions that the HC makes. Both haven’t turned out very well yet.

Good God I hope our team isn’t assuming that ASU only beat WU because the stole signals. That’s an easy way to get your ass beat and an ignorant comment. Chris Peterson doesn’t protect against teams stealing his signals? That’s a ridiculous assumption.

It’s not hard. If my high school team could do it, anyone can do it.

We need to spin up the SLC 15 quick or we’ll never be able to recruit with the AZ teams. I volunteer my wife as the first of the 15.

If he can manage to resist the urge to fire the OC and start with a new system and new OC next year then 2018 is looking good. We aren’t going to win shit until we have some consistency on the offensive side of things. Consistency off the field will lead to more on the field and a better red zone showing. The answer isn’t to fire, hire, rinse…[Read more]

We have to win Saturday to keep hope alive! We lose and the south is done. USC has an easy schedule to wrap up and ours gets harder with UW and WSU and a road trip to Oregon. This game is basically a 2 game swing if we lose because USC will own the head to head tie breaker. They would have to lose 2 of 4 against AU, ASU, Colo, and UCLA and we…[Read more]

It’s really refreshing to hear a coach give injury updates.

Common. Nobody would be stupid enough to publish fake texts. He’d be sued in a heartbeat. They were from him and he sounds like a bi-polar head case.

That’s a shockingly strange business move by Garry Anderson. I don’t see him having many options after leaving his last 2 gigs unexpectedly.

We didn’t look that much better with him. This is as much as a scheme issue as player talent issue. We scored 19 on BYU. That says a lot.

ah yes. Thanks for the clarification. That makes way more sense.

Oh sweet jeezus. Thanks for the laugh! That is cringey as it gets.

I would disagree with that. Sure, if you win out you’ll be the national champs but assuming that isn’t going to happen, this next game really isn’t that important in the broader view of the season. Losses agains the north only come into play if you have the same division record and don’t have a head to head loss with the team you are tied with.…[Read more]

Hell yes! Well said.

This should be a “good game” which is embarrassing for BYU. Both team’s are in a death spiral in a race to complete collapse of their programs. I would love to see BYU become the little brother to USU and the whooping boy taking a payday to come play Utah.

I didn’t say he wasn’t a good runner. My point is that his running ability isn’t good enough that he would have won the job if he was even a slightly worse passer. He’s rushed 56 times for a 3.7 average and his long was 25 yards against an FCS school. That is not close to electric in my mind.
