Couple weeks ago watched the OSU game from last year. Forgot how close that game was and OS had several blown opportunities to win the game. Ty Jordan ran for 174 yards with a 6.2 yard avg. Bentley played decent going 18/27, 174 yards, 1 TD, no INTs. Covey’s 64 yrd TD and Redding’s 3/3 field goals were keys to the win.

Agree, that UNLV loss was a total meltdown. That said, can’t overlook Utah starting with the 2019 Oregon loss is 4-5 in their last nine games. Utah’s last four wins are against OSU (who choked that game away to Utah), WSU (come back win), Colorado (probably best game out of all of the nine) and Weber. Call it a no show game against BYU. Bottom…[Read more]

Brewer’s face at the line of scrimmage screams confidence, he knows exactly what the defense is showing him and knows where to go with the ball. Hangs in the pocket and delivers. Utah has not had a QB at this level in a long time. Given another year Huntley would have been there as he is starting to show some of it in the pros.

No excuse at the…[Read more]

Defense needs to pressure and contain Hall and not let him run wild. Stuff the run game, don’t get beat deep on big plays. Score points early forcing BYU to play catch up. Hall has not seen a defense like Utahs, big test for him.

Agree, USC has the athletic bandwidth to overall play crappy then flip the switch at anytime in a game to take it over and win, a luxury Utah does not have against USC and UO (usually UW, not this season). Utah has to play almost flawless football and score points on defense and special teams combined with good coaching decisions against USC to…[Read more]

BYU game will tell the Oline story. Over the past year, of all the position groups the Oline has been the biggest mystery. Hopefully Bam and Daniels made some significant improvement over the past year.

Hopefully the Oline received an ear full. We are going to know very early whether or not the Oline is going to live up to all the hype. Other than Ford, I have no idea who’s starting on the Oline at this point.

Well spoken, smart dude, good insight. Super stoked to have him on the mic with Mitchell, and Riley. Was so fun to watch Sly in the Sugar Bowl get into it with the Alabama OLineman during the coin flip, “I am going to kill you” said the bama player, Sly the badass that he his, stands tall and walks the dude down in his face as the bama player…[Read more]

Brewer, Lloyd, Kicker. Vele and Bernard tied for MI.

The Ute OLine depth chart has been somewhat of mystery. Utes success will be determined how well the Utah Oline performs against the crowded pressure of the USC, UO, ASU, UW defense. Make all the excuses of a short season, first game etc., Utah’s Oline was no match for USC’s Dline last season. Hopefully the new Frosh and Sophs step it up this…[Read more]

Very interesting and good work it seems for these players. Not sure this is the correct title for the article. That said, Tackle football participation at the youth and H.S level overall continues to significantly decline. Interestingly, NFL and NCAA football attendance has been declining was as well (other factors in play here of course). Sadly,…[Read more]

Duck and Ute guys did a solid job outlining the Ute Oline being a major concern now and over the past several years. Some brutal dialogue regarding the missed block on Rising’s injury among other things. Until Utah’s Oline can perform against USC, ASU, and OU, these games are sure losses. Only hope is if some of the Frosh from last season improve…[Read more]

Utah will go where the California schools take them in terms of conference decision making.

Ian Martinez has NBA potential at best. He has not proven much at the college level yet other than some brief moments of athleticism. In fairness, he’s just starting college ball. Martinez will need to put on at least 20 pounds and become a much better outside shooter and ball handler to play in the NBA. The daddy-ball thing may also be a red flag…[Read more]
