Trailgoat replied to the topic Since data/analytics is all the rage now in football. KW counting last night's in the forum Football 5 years, 5 months ago

100% agree KW is not going anywhere until he retires. As long as the stadium sells out, he can not win another game and won’t get fired as long as fans pack the stadium at $100+ ticket prices. My point is his this is what Utah football will be for the next 3-6 years until he retires. As the seasons add up, KW is reflecting as a P12 .500 level…[Read more]

Trailgoat replied to the topic What's the over/under… in the forum Football 5 years, 5 months ago

IMO, Ludwig called a decent game. The offense has some glaring limitations at QB, WR, and Oline…and now at RB.

Trailgoat started the topic Since data/analytics is all the rage now in football. KW counting last night's in the forum Football 5 years, 5 months ago

loss has an overall P12 record of 34-39. His overall MWC record is 35-13 (keep in mind 3-4 years of that success including the Sugar Bowl was impacted by Urban Meyer recruiting. Considering conference records only as head coaches, Coach McBride has an overall better conference winning % than KW.
Time to start looking at KWs results and ceiling…[Read more]

than Utah’s best receiver after four games.

Trailgoat replied to the topic It was a big game. We lost. But there is still a lot to play for. in the forum Football 5 years, 5 months ago

It was very apparent USC has better athletes. USC develops their 4/5 star athletes better than Utah develops their 2/3 star athletes. All things considered penalties, stalled drives in the red zone. Utah is out matched by USC.

Trailgoat replied to the topic Ugh in the forum Football 5 years, 5 months ago

Utah is much farther behind athletically than I thought. USC looked so much bigger, faster, and stronger in the skill positions.

Trailgoat started the topic Man…USC just has better athletes. All things equal man for man, USC 4/5 in the forum Football 5 years, 5 months ago

athletes are better than Utah. Even in full dysfunctional mode Utah is no match athletically with USC. Utah’s DBs are very average.

Trailgoat replied to the topic Why isn't Solomon Enis targeted more? in the forum Football 5 years, 5 months ago

Regarding Kuthie…yeah, I find it entertaining how a kicker gets canned for missing a couple kicks yet a TE drops 1-2 passes every game and there is no accountability. I am sure it’s a depth situation where Kuthie in spite of his bad hands is still the best option. Agree, not putting a lot of stock on a wide-open pass play against FCS teams.…[Read more]

Trailgoat started the topic Huntley looking down field in the forum Football 5 years, 5 months ago

Being nitpicky coaching from the couch. May be exposed later against better teams. Huntley still seems to have a short fuse to abort looking down field for the tuck and run. Utah has had problems with athletic teams that can cover Utah WRs, put on some pressure and close fast. USC, ASU, and UW are going to man up on Utah’s receivers and make…[Read more]

Trailgoat replied to the topic Covey is NOT 100% in the forum Football 5 years, 5 months ago

Covey still seems to be the best/safest option with his catching ability. Of course breaking a big play is a bonus. Agree, on being a step or two behind his normal self. The knee brace can’t help. He’s still a huge threat in the open field.

Trailgoat started the topic Tired of all the Thompson, Dixon, Ennis hype. Thompson and Ennis have shown in the forum Football 5 years, 5 months ago

nothing on the field that teams are respecting. Dixon is legit. WRs are no question high level athletes. General critcism of Utah is stop the run = stopping Utah’s offense. Time for TH to step up and show he can run an offense and pass the ball. No more tuck and run with the eyes down when the first target is not open. If this team is going to…[Read more]

Trailgoat replied to the topic What would the ceiling be for Boise if they were in a P5 conference? in the forum Football 5 years, 5 months ago

They in certain positions have legit players. Some of their offensive skill players would be starting at Utah.

Trailgoat replied to the topic ND vs Louisville in the forum Football 5 years, 5 months ago

Louisville fumbling the game away.

Trailgoat replied to the topic USC Daniels – out for the season in the forum Football 5 years, 5 months ago

Bummer. Feel bad for the kid. He’s been working hard. As for Jack Sears..geez. This is the problem with the instant gratification sports generation. USC in their normal state would tell the kid, don’t let the screen door hit you in the ass on the way out! This is how far USC has fallen. I am sure Helton already made the call. Love how KWhitt says,…[Read more]

Trailgoat replied to the topic Utes vs Northern Illinois -20.5 to -23 in the forum Football 5 years, 5 months ago

Utes will drop 50 on these guys. Would love to see JW and the other RBs carry the load cutting the rug in the next two games. Give Shelly some reps too!

Trailgoat replied to the topic Huntley vs Wilson in the forum Football 5 years, 5 months ago

In all fairness, ZW is not on a very good team. Not sure he would be any better on Utah considering the poor receiver development on Utah. IMO, Huntley is handicapped more by the lack of a passing supporting cast than his ability. Not really the WRs fault as they are excellent athletes. They are not getting coached up or developed.

TH can sling…[Read more]

Trailgoat replied to the topic Another year the Pac-12 takes an early season hit to credibility. in the forum Football 5 years, 6 months ago

P12 is done! Another team will need to go undefeated to be in the top 4. End of story.

Trailgoat started the topic Moss, Oline, and Defense were stellar. in the forum Football 5 years, 6 months ago

A lot of great first game stuff including game control and the best play in football, the victory formation. Great win. Class act by KW. Utes could of easily punched in the last TD. Interview with ZWs parents was a weird attempt by ESPN to appeal to the goony BYU fan base. The entire interview was so forced. Big elephant during the conversation…[Read more]

Trailgoat replied to the topic The Ute receivers are lickin their chops right now in the forum Football 5 years, 6 months ago

I find it interesting very little is said about the WR group other than the TEs, DS deep pass threat and Covey. Ute WR group is the biggest concern IMO. Other than Covey and DS, nobody else has much experience. Nacua seems to be a great leader and makes good plays which is awesome to have on the team.

Other than being “athletic” Ennis and…[Read more]
