The Miami Ute

1. 15 October 2022 – Utah 43 – USC 42. Two point conversion to win it.
2. 1 January 2023 – tOSU 48 – Utah 45. Cam rips off a 62 yard TD run to put the Utes up 35-21 at HT.
3. 2 December 2022 – Utah 47 – USC 24. Cam shreds USC for well over 300 yards and 3 TDs as the Utes romp to a second consecutive PAC title.

That’s a good question. I will say that the name “Utah Hockey Club” is getting traction live and online. I like the throwback and minimalistic vibe it exudes.

The Knights went to the Stanley Cup as an expansion franchise. The Panthers went to the Stanley Cup in 22-23 as the lowest-ranked team in the playoffs. Anything is possible. This UHC, with all of its young talent, is definitely on the way up. In a way, they remind me of the Islanders of the mid-70s and Oilers of the mid-80s before they hit the…[Read more]

Oh, I agree. I personally don’t want Cam back as a Ute next season. However, I have zero input in the decision. That’s all between Whit, Lud, and Cam. And Whit might feel that he’ll be damned if he’s going to let a healthy Cam go to another school and lead them to glory.

Who knows what will happen? Of course, this whole conversation becomes…[Read more]

Yeah, she’s wrong. I mentioned the case of Cam McCormick, a TE at the U, who’s a ninth-year senior as we speak. In addition to a normal redshirt, he missed three seasons due to injury.

Are you familiar with Michael Penix Jr’s injury history? If you’re not, it makes Cam look like the Teflon Man.

2018: Tore his left ACL three games into his freshman season – missed the rest of the season
2019: Right shoulder injury (Shoulder Clavicle Fracture) – missed the rest of the season
2020: Re-tore his left ACL – missed the rest of the…[Read more]

I agree. I also think that he’ll be playing football again next season. And it’ll be, as I said, with a top team looking to make a run and needing an experienced QB to run the show. That’s Cam to a T…if he plays his cards right, he might be able to make more money than he ever did at Utah.

NIL is too good to hang it up when you have remaining eligibility. I can guarantee that if Cam can prove by early next year that he’s fit, some top school will take a chance on him if Utah lets him go. For example, look at the guys that Notre Dame has brought in the last couple of years (Sam Hartman, Riley Leonard, etc…). A healthy Cam is…[Read more]

So, you’re saying there’s a chance?

Well, you better be ready because it’s going to be all the rage until it gets resolved.

Betcha he’s coming back…

It’s really up to him, isn’t it? He doesn’t have to come back to Utah but he will qualify for a medical redshirt and I already mentioned the example of Cam McCormick over at the U. If Utah doesn’t want him, I’m sure that there will be a market for him somewhere.

Not trying to be a troll, but there’s a point where toughness crosses over into stupidity and, dare I say it, selfishness. You’d think that Cam, having probably the worst game of his life (late in the game he had a 30 percent completion rate), would have tapped out and allowed a healthy Isaac to take over for him. The other side of the coin is…[Read more]

I was about to ask the OP if he didn’t like Travis. I can’t think of a more enjoyable Utah victory than the ass-whooping that Travis led in Autzen in 2015.

That’s one way of looking at it. Another would be why would Whitt and Lud allow someone with that type of injury to play the entire game and jeopardize Utah’s season. It isn’t like they didn’t have proof right in front of their eyes that something was massively off with Rising. That to me, is a severe case of coaching malpractice.

Well, no one will ever be able to take the two Rose Bowl appearances and that electrifying TD run in the first one away from him. He was 1st Team All PAC in 2021 and that’s also something that no one will ever be able to take away from him. I sincerely hope that the school does something for him in the last home game. That being said, that last…[Read more]

Exactly…the best thing about that game was the W.

Surely can’t make it any worse. Make no mistake, an almost healthy Rising is better than Isaac all day long. But, we’re not there and probably never be…Isaac is the best shot we have to see some competent play out of the QB position.
