The Miami Ute

Morgan even had that haircut in his playing days!

It’s not for lack of effort. 32.3 passes/ 35.4 runs per game. About 3 plays closer to 50/50 than norm but not completely out of line. To me, the question would be why isn’t Utah running the ball better this year?

Defenses not respecting Utah’s throw game, only one effective back, Utah’s interior O line not being adept at run blocking, TE’s not…[Read more]

And mentally knowing you held the opponent to under 20 again and it’s not enough. Hell 14 isn’t enough.

“The defense clearly has not quit. Scalley has clearly kept them engaged and motivated.“ Another great sign for our future HC.

2017 was also a completely new OLine after the 2016 crew all went to the league.

These aren’t linear degradations:

P – has been subpar since Wishnowsky left
K – has been subpar since Gay left
LB – has underperformed since Lloyd/Sewell
DB – has seen flashes of brilliance but not up to the standard of the 2019 squad that had 4 drafted. Other than Phillips/Bishop who would have been anything more than a backup on the best Utah…[Read more]

If anything, this season has lowered Wilson’s value. His warts have been put on display for everyone to see. No top program is going hard after an undersized kid who can’t cope with pressure in his face.

It really comes down to whether or not anyone thinks Whitt is capable of calling it a day before there is no shred of doubt left that someone else would be better running the program.

I’m of the opinion that he should get to finish out his current contract if, and only if, he is willing to completely overhaul his staff. I just can’t see him…[Read more]

The Utah coaching staff making puzzling quarterback decisions? No way!!!!! 😝

That’s the big news? That Scalley’s rolodex is so small he’s contacting local coaches to be on his staff? How can people think he’s not going to be Whitt 2.0 if he isn’t trying to find the best available assistants to fulfill his vision for the program

I thought Rose looked confident and that he had control of the offense but what can you expect from him when that was his first live game action since he has been at Utah.

Take it for what its worth but I have heard that Huard is killing it in practice as scout team qb but doesn’t sound like the coaches even are considering him to play, which is…[Read more]

I thought it was illegal to have weddings in the state of Utah on holy war weekend?

Unpleasant questions for sure. It wouldn’t be the first time Utah chose the wrong QB to start.
Rose looked good to start. Those drops and mistakes just make your jaw drop as well. The play calling didn’t improve either. Still very disjointed in what kind of system Utah wants to run.

The money for these athletes is where I hear Harlan has been meddling.

I’m curious which of those two things you find most likely? To me they are opposite sides of the same coin so I’m interested why it’s one or the other

The only spoil in this team is playing like spoiled milk.

What an insane season. 36 days ago we were #12 and just beat #14 OSU in Stillwater. Massively disappointing turn of events. I still trust in Scalley for the future but this season has been disastrous.

Yeah I don’t understand the Harlan thing. He came in with a already long tenured HC. Harlan has nothing to do with what’s happening right now with the football program. And I don’t see how he would impede Morgan as HC in anyway.

I totally get it.. This is what I posted earlier: I still truly believe the future of Utah football is still in good hands. I know right now with how raw and ridiculously disappointing everything feels like the program is completely lost. But it’s not. The thing about this day and age of college football is things can turnaround in a hurry. The…[Read more]

You’ve hit the nail with that one. Harlan has already hired the next coach. The only thing we are really discussing should be timing. If Scalley doesn’t work out, then you change the AD and let the new guy hire Scalley’s replacement.
