The Miami Ute

Here are some Utah guys that are missing:

– Luther Elliss
– Dave Costa (Four time x Pro Bowl selection at DT/DE)
– Bob Trumpy (Four time X Pro Bowl selection)
– Mac Speedie WR (Two time x Pro Bowl selection)

Yeap….and Fleming also won four Super Bowls in his career. Two with the Packers and two with the Dolphins. Before the advent of the Patriots’ tyranny with Tom Brady, he held the record for most Super Bowls won as a player. Fernandez was a beast with the “No-Name” defense. He probably should have won the MVP award for Super Bowl VII over Jake Scott.

Crazy that we’re still talking about a guy that was only in Utah for one semester plus…he couldn’t even win the starter’s job or get on the field consistently at Indiana, and that was even with Penix suffering season-ending injuries every season he was there. I will say that Tuttle is a very smart dude, book-wise, and is set for a civilian…[Read more]

Yeah, I guess you could add Latu to that list Latu to that list…but those Wisconsin teams he played in were pretty mediocre, going 14-12 during his two years there. He definitely got more playing time there but his stats were pretty ho-hum.

During my time following the Utes, the only player I’ve seen go to an arguably better situation after transferring or entering the portal is Nate Johnson going to Vanderbilt. And I say arguably because of Vandy’s academic reputation and it’s membership in the SEC. Everyone else has gone to lesser P4/5 programs, G5, or FCS.

Given their internal circumstances and the timing of Fish’s departure, this was the best hire possible for the Wildcats. It’s also interesting to hear that guys like Fifita and McMillan look poised to stay in Tucson, which, if true, will still make the Wildcats a dangerous team.

So, the only scholarship QBs currently, or soon to be in the program, are Rising, Rose and Wilson? I guess you can also count Steve Smedley in a pinch, but he’s a walk-on. What about Luke Bottari? I thought he had some eligibility left.

He looked horrible when he played us with ASU. He was 5 for 22 for 41 yards and 1 INT. I would question whether he’s a legitimate FBS QB.

Eagle, in my view, that was a bad move on his part. I find it doubtful that he’s going to beat out Cooper Legas and win the starting job.

!. Williams
2. Maye
3. Harrison
4. Daniels

That’s the likely draft order. If the Bears don’t pick Williams, they’ll trade the pick to a team that will. Next up is the Commanders, who need a QB, and so will select Maye. After that are the Cardinals, who need offensive weapons now that they’re keeping Murray and thus will select Harrison. Last…[Read more]

He’ll be the #1 pick, book it.

No worries brother. I just knew it because I watched every USC game and the announcers made a point to say how Singer’s production had dropped. I essentially lifted my comments from their commentary. Maybe it was a playbook issue or maybe Williams felt comfortable with the guys he had developed a relationship with or maybe the guys that USC…[Read more]

LOL…reminds of a military briefing I took part in about 15 years ago…the briefer kept referring to the Russians as the “Soviets.”

Listen, I followed this dude at USC because I liked him at Zona and was hoping the Utes would get him when he entered the portal. Not to be argumentative, but the reality in that, other than routine bumps and bruises, he wasn’t dinged up. I mean, he literally played in every single USC game all season. His problem was that there were better WRs…[Read more]

Exactly, there’s going to be a mass Exodus from both schools. I fully expect Arizona and Washington to bomb next season, especially Arizona.

They weren’t good last year either but Utah somehow lost to them at the Huntsman.

Yeah, but somehow Stanford has lost to seven other teams this season. And didn’t Wazzu just beat the Arizona team that destroyed Utah? Utah killed Wazzu in the Huntsman late last year.

Well, another away game, another away loss. This time to a mediocre Stanford team. Disappointing to see the Utes not have the capability to win games like this. Having a .500 conference record isn’t going to cut it come March.

They’ve got a lot of talent on that team. Fisch is going to need it to replace all of the players Washington is going to lose to the portal after DeBoer’s departure.
