Utah started the topic Great article on Travis Wilson: in the forum Football 7 years, 4 months ago

“Look,” Palmer recalled telling Snead, “I’m going to the combine next week to tell everybody about Travis. So you can work him out now, or you can wait for me to tell everybody about him.”
The Rams worked Wilson out and signed him on the…[Read more]

From hardest to easiest:
Tier 1 (national title hopes): USC, Washington

Tier 3 (hopes of being ranked): Oregon, WSU, UCLA, Colorado
Tier 4 (hopes of a bowl): Arizona, ASU, BYU
Tier 5 (crappy OOC team): SJSU, FCS team
I get that BYU has hopes of more than “just a bowl” but that’s because their schedule…[Read more]

find you” as an excuse for a really talented kid to come to BYU.
Did they not just see what happened to Harvey Langi?
Had Langi stayed at Utah, I have no doubt in my mind he is drafted as a LB.

Utah replied to the topic The Utah rushing attack in the forum Football 7 years, 4 months ago

This. I don’t know if we run as much as Urban. Urban has it right, in my opinion. His 200/200 goal is the right idea in my opinion (200 yards rushing, 200 yards passing).

But, we our run game will be very similar to last year’s, just less of it. Instead of 30 passes and 40 rushes, I’d bet we see 40-50 passes and 25-35 rushes.

Utah replied to the topic Keeping it vanilla. in the forum Football 7 years, 4 months ago

I say yes and no.

Many offense has a core 10-15 plays. I say you have to be perfect at those. So, game one is those 15 plays over and over and over. So, it may be vanilla, but there should be some explosive plays (I’d say 5-8) that you run a couple times each. So, it’s vanilla but feels big.

Then, vs FBYU-P you throw in another 10 plays that…[Read more]

Utah started the topic So, I found out that North Dakota is primarily a run team. in the forum Football 7 years, 4 months ago

That will make it really tough for them to get anything going. Our front seven will be incredible this year. Not too many teams will be able to get their run game going vs us.

I think he does a good job of trying to make BYU relevant. He’s dead wrong, but a good job anyways. I’ll post my rebuttal over the next few weeks.

Fitts started until he was hurt. Actually, I think they did the five man front a lot early until Fitts was injured.

Nice write up. Very fair.

Heres what I’d tell you:

I’m glad your DL is so good. As you know, our OL is somewhat inexperienced and it will be nice to be tested early.
