The Miami Ute

Yep, welcome to 2012 Utah Football. Hope to slow the other team down enough so that the defense or special teams can make a play to provide the difference.

Against FBS teams: offense 19.0 ppg, 356.3 ypg; defense 18.86 ppg, 325.4 ypg. That’s the definition of mediocre

that’s the key: the competition level. Utah has played the 120th rated schedule in adjusted win % and can’t be counted on to score 2 TD’s. It’s hard to play the “we’re only a couple of points from being great” game when points are so scarce.

to be fair, only SUU would be a win if they were to replay the schedule again and that would be close to a tossup. Definitely wouldn’t want to face Baylor again now that they’ve figured their QB out.

whoever wins the Big-12 was always predicted to lose their first game in the playoff, even when many thought it would be Utah. Getting the 4 seed means playing probably #5 which is looking like Georgia, Texas, Penn State, Ohio State or Alabama at this point. That’s a tough lift. I’d love for Utah to have gotten that chance but it would be folly…[Read more]

Vegas set their win total at 3.5, they were only returning 2 starters on defense, and needed to replace 4 of 5 starters on the OLine. That doesn’t mean Holgerson ran them into the ground but they also weren’t a team primed for the next coach to get them back to respectable right away.

Lagway is who got hurt. QB3 was a transfer from Yale if I saw the story correct

Sports is cyclical. Maybe 2024 is their 2004 like we had. When we went undefeated (they won’t finish undefeated) in football and Bogut was #1 pick. Just gotta tip your cap. This has been an excruciating last 2 years. But we will back. I have no doubt.

chaos week and Utah isn’t in a position to take advantage of it because they pissed the last 4 games away. sheesh

Is this what Bernard was alluding to when he said he knows why the season nosedived but wouldn’t say why?

I think it shows how much unhealthy stuff has effected this team. Drama, playing time, politics, NIL, defense pissed we can’t win even when holding teams to 14-17 points. When so much of it is effort and attitude related, that’s a big problem.

And Fifita always plays great against us. Legacy kid who wanted to play here that we whiffed on. Of course.

and with all that, their 3rd string QB just ran a nice two-minute drill for a score against a top 15 defense that shut down Ewers

I wasn’t real impressed when I saw that Utah’s only non-conference home game next year was Cal Poly while they were travelling to Laramie and UCLA.

If I was a season ticket holder I’d seriously consider not reupping with a slate of Cal Poly, ASU, Colorado, Texas Tech, K State and Cincinatti. Be prepared for a lot of late night games that…[Read more]

I was hoping this was for our offense.

Wilson and Ludwig were tied together. Especially in his recruitment. The fear of Wilson transferring etc etc. The politics of modern day college football. Bajakian deserves a shot as well the last few games. Everything is finally on the table. For everyone. Earn your damn job.
