There was an incident with Wilson in the days leading up to the game. I’m a little surprised he dressed. The leadership council basically voted him off the island. I’m not sure where that leaves things going forward, but I’m not sure the coaching staff felt like they could have put Wilson in the game. That might have led to some poor decision making regarding keeping Rose in the game. Whit did say publicly they would move forward with Wilson and Bottari this week, so I guess we will see what happens. Maybe Bernard also got some time at QB in high school?

The years in the 90’s when we had a pretty good team, but always lost too many WTF games to really be in the national conversion, but we finally started beating the zoobs with some regularity. 1993-1995 were great, but abusing Kevin Feterik at their place, with Darnel Arceneaux coming off the bench to lead the offense was probably my favorite of those (1997, I think?). 2004 and 2008 were special for reasons having nothing to do with the rivalry.

Here’s to another good one this weekend!

The final play of the circus defense didn’t go so well for us, though, with Harline still being open and all. That is one of my least favorite plays of all time.

I do like the idea of trying something off-the-wall to throw them off, though. The Duck will always have a special place in my heart.

Worst:
Johnny Harline. I can still see that circus defense in my mind. Ouch.

Best:
Honorable Mention: 1997 – Darnell Arceneaux cleans up after Jonathan Crosswhite (again), and our defense (John Frank the tank) ate Kevin Feterik alive. I think we ran a surprise 3-man front most of the day, and still got pressure and sacks.

2004: We beat the snot out of them to secure a trip to the Fiesta Bowl. What a day.

2008: My only time rushing the field. We want Bama 🙂

In the immortal words of Morgan Scalley, and Jaylon Glover, F#%$%k BYU!

Someone on the training staff. I’m hoping the bad feelings have been exaggerated, but at this point, who knows?

Well, since it sounds like the team doesn’t seem to care much for Wilson, and he hasn’t exactly been leading them to victory, the situation seems to be spiraling into the center of the toilet. Who knows, though? Hopefully they can get it together. Maybe the defense will start scoring more.

Ghost, or anyone else who might know:

What’s up with the reported “team chemistry” issues with Wilson? Is he playable at this point, both due to this supposed issue and his health? I’m hoping these things have been blow out of proportion by the rumor mill, especially since he is one of our two remaining QBs for the year.

It would be great if we found a way to use Stanley as a legitimate weapon. I worry that he only looked amazing because the USU and SUU D are kinda slow. It seems like he should be getting/faking some sweeps.

I also would like to see more creative use of Lohner on offense (why not?).

One thing I think we are sorely missing is that Cam was almost as heavy as Tavion Thomas, and could really do some damage on short yardage situations and in the red-zone. A lot of Utah’s really big plays in 2021/2022 were him just trucking a defender (or two or three) to get a first down, or into the endzone. If Rose can be a legit threat with his feet and/or run like bowling ball, that would help a lot.

My doctor has cleared me for all kinds of liquor, but I will make a decision after warming up. I might need to wear a glove to hide all the tape on my hand. My grip strength hasn’t been the same since I punched a hole in the wall during the Baylor game.

I heard Cam’s doctor had a press conference, and said he might be cleared by gametime.
