The Miami Ute

I am thinking he is more like Jake Heaps. Practice weekday warrior Saturday let down.

Lol good luck with that Poo Poo.

I think the defense will be fine. Offensively you have to get to 30 Ppg. It is like 2012 all over again.

Bitching about the call in the TSPP game was the most animated he seemed all season.

The offensive chart had Utah in the lower left. There were only 6 teams worse on both axes (axesses? axis?). The word is pronounced ack-cees but it doesn’t look right when I type it. No matter how it’s spelled it was putrid and the chart backs it up.

I didn’t like the attention it got at the time for those very reasons. A leased truck isn’t a tangible benefit. And who is going to take that over someone else offering 10k more in cash?

I just think the Ute collective outsmarted themselves in thinking that something they would find valuable in their world – a company car which is a nice perk…[Read more]

haha, didn’t even notice that. I guess you did use the possessive for entry

I think there will be more entries than commitments. Unless I have the rules wrong, the only people officially in the portal before today were grad eligible. The announcements we’ve seen were “intend to enter” but only the schools can officially put their names in the…[Read more]

Working now and the charts match perception. The Colorado and Iowa State games hurt Utah’s overall defensive rankings but on a pure by play analysis, that was a top level defense we watched in 2024. With even a competent offense we’d be talking about it being one Utah’s best ever instead of thinking that the defense could/should have done just…[Read more]

more entries

Got it working I think again.

I’m sure I’m still naive about it but I just don’t think every player that goes somewhere else is strictly because of NIL. At the same time, I feel like the truck thing was a miscalculation on the part of the Ute collective. A company car is a nice perk but I wouldn’t sign a deal for better perks and less base money. These kids aren’t any…[Read more]

I’ll say this, Whitt seems REALLY motivated and pissed off about last year. I think can be a great thing if it’s channeled correctly and not at his assistants. I think Scalley and Beck being such good friends is another positive in this staff staying cohesive. I’m optimistic. Let’s get to work. Go Utes!

Defensive link isn’t working for me

I’m with Rick on this one. Until I see the defense fail, I’m going to assume that they’ll get the job done. I don’t think they will be as good as 2018 but that’s a really high bar with seniors all over the place.

D Line – Luther and Powell have earned the benefit of the doubt that they will have those spots ready even if Fano is the only name…[Read more]

Me? say stuff just to say stuff? couldn’t happen

If we hear Rising has entered the portal, that to me would be an indicator that he thinks he can still play and would be healthy in time for spring ball. My guess based on Rising wearing a boot and using the push cart thingy to get around at the next game is that it was ligament damage but at…[Read more]

Usually tying a record for futility is a game changer

Utah was about 7-10 points per game from going 10-2 this year?

Interesting. You think the assistant’s Utah might be targeting are on playoff teams? I’d imagine that anyone else would be fair game since bowls haven’t seemed to stop people from taking other jobs.
