The Miami Ute

He didn’t look good this week or last. Seems just like an athlete trying to play QB. I checked out his stats during the three years he was at Toledo and they were pretty mediocre.

True…but those 45 points came against something called Tarleton State. Baylor’s TD was a freak play in the sense that it was a perfect play call for the defense Utah had on the field.

Yeah sure…provided Baylor kept turning the ball over inside their own 5 yard line

Where are you watching that game?

I meant numerically speaking, but I will say that it wouldn’t surprise me if Utah State ended up being better than Baylor.

Yeah, I was shocked to see Charlie Vincent playing today…

I can already tell that Utah better come to play next Saturday. Barnes and Utah State’s offense is better than anyone they’ve played against this season.

You’d like to think so but watch USC and Miami jump over Utah after big wins.

On any given Saturday…I’m scared to death that Barnes will play out of his mind next weekend and Wilson, well, Wilson will play like he has during the first two games of the season. The Aggies are going to come out swinging and it could be a trap game.

Maybe so… however, other than the first drive, the offense was looking pretty ragged even with Rising in the game. I will admit that you can almost physically see the air going out of the offense when Rising is not in the game.

Where would you rather be playing? Utah or Utah State? Plus he was a backup at Logan until the starter got hurt.

We have to give him some time. Maybe the switch will turn on once it’s decided that he’s QB1 for an extended period. To me, it’s absolutely crazy that Utah finds itself in the same situation two years in a row. And, as I said previously, I’d feel a hell of a lot better about the remainder of the season if Barnes was still around.

Betcha Barnes is kicking himself for leaving the program.

Not on us, the coaching staff. They’re the ones that get paid millions of dollars to plan for stuff like this. Hopefully Wilson develops incredibly quickly.

They just gave up one, two to go.

Not trying to be mean, but it’s obvious that Wilson, no matter his potential, is nowhere being ready for prime time. The offense with him under center looks decidedly worse than it was with Barnes. FFS, we’re back to square one because Rising can’t stay healthy. What’s going on to happen from here on in until Rising comes back? Stack the box…[Read more]

If he has a broken hand or finger, he’s going to be out a while
