Trailgoat replied to the topic On the bright side… in the forum Football 6 years, 3 months ago
Agreed…needs to focus on pro career. Playing another year at Utah makes no sense the way KW grinds his RBs. Zach is a beast with a promising pro career ahead of him. Hope he heals fast and keeps the team pumped up!

Trailgoat started the topic ASU Game and Beyond in the forum Football 6 years, 3 months ago
We all kind of knew this game was coming considering the trend and history of the program in the P12 under KW. Seven years in the P12 Utah has 32-38 (including this season) with a rough average of 4th place standing in the P12. The bowl win record is a nice accomplishment although most of the bowl game victories were against teams Utah was favored…[Read more]

Utes have at least 2-4 losses ahead of them. UofA is not one of them. ASU, Oregon, CU, or USC

Trailgoat replied to the topic How good IS Huntley? in the forum Football 6 years, 4 months ago
We’ll know after the next four games. Way too early to tell. Utah’s victories are very dependent on turnovers and the defense scoring. I want to see Utah’s offense control a game independent of the defense getting lopsided turnovers. That is just not going to happen in most games.
Utah has historically struggled against the mobile QB spread the…[Read more]

Trailgoat replied to the topic This might quiet the "Fire Whit" crowd. His buyout is $9mil. in the forum Football 6 years, 4 months ago
And poor enough to keep a head coach as long as the stadium is full and the Crimson Club donors keep cutting checks. KW is going no where. CH made the mistake of playing into KWs hand signing the last contract. KW, and his agent are smart-savoy business men first, winning enough making everyone believe Utah football needs KW or the program will…[Read more]

Trailgoat replied to the topic Other 3-10 Power 5’s in the forum Football 6 years, 4 months ago
“Go Bowling” Talk about a cherry picked stat. On the surface, KWs bowl record is a nice accomplishment. Looking at time in the P12 Utah did not go to bowl games in 2012 and 2013. Last year beat a depleted WV (7-6) team without their starting QB. The other lower tier bowl game wins against Indiana (6-7), BYU (9-4), CSU (10-3), Georgia Tech (8-5)…[Read more]

Trailgoat replied to the topic In post game – Whitt says the stats don’t tell the story of our offense because in the forum Football 6 years, 5 months ago
KW is extremely intelligent in how he responds in post game interviews crafting words pointing towards circumstances of the game impacting results. Takes mild accountability then points to penalties, missed plays as the cause. IMO, KW once again gets out coached in the 2nd half. KW is a very average high paid D1 football head coach.

Trailgoat started the topic KW is here to stay in the forum Football 6 years, 5 months ago
KW is not going anywhere. Losing p12 record of 28-37, six wins a season is all KW needs to do to keep his job. Win a bowl game against some crappy team and celebrate success with all of his tactful coaches speak going into the next season. This game is mad as it makes Utah fans is a typical coached Utah football game by KW.
Firing KW now is not…[Read more] -
Trailgoat replied to the topic Random thoughts on our off/bye Saturday. in the forum Football 6 years, 5 months ago
Too bad Utes play USC late. Their high school senior QB (crazy JT was a junior in H.S. last year) is getting exponentially better and the USC receivers will be a big challenge for the Ute DBs. I don’t see Utah scoring any where close to 30 points unless the defense scores a couple TDs or Covey runs back a punt for a TD.

Trailgoat started the topic In all the years of watching college football. in the forum Football 6 years, 5 months ago
don’t recall ever hearing TV game commentators calling out a coacing staff and QB for not keeping a player safe. Greise on an early game play made a subtle comment about one of the receivers pulling up on a play to prevent getting hit. This was before ranting about Covey getting blasted by the crappy QB pass decisions and throws. This offense is a…[Read more]

Trailgoat replied to the topic College Gameday Recap in the forum Football 6 years, 5 months ago
Bottom line for this game.
Receivers and Oline I’m sure have heard plenty about the poor blocking, crappy route running and butter fingers. I personally as a fan will be watching these guys step up to the challenge. Utes will need sacks and plus turnovers to win this game.I hope the game does not come down to end of game coach decision-making…[Read more]

Trailgoat replied to the topic Whittingham has not had it easy against Petersen. in the forum Football 6 years, 5 months ago
Petersen is flat out a better coach. Develops players for the needs of the team and does the little things to get victories in close games. Last year was a great example when Whit got cute and paid for it. That game should of been put away by Utah long before the last series. Whit struggles to close games when given the advantage. Petersen does a…[Read more]

Trailgoat replied to the topic Another clear targeting call NO call? in the forum Football 6 years, 5 months ago
Probably already covered yesterday, so advanced apology. The missed call on Browning yesterday was deplorable. That missed call could be argued it cost UW the game. I don’t believe for a second the refs hold safety over making calls they know may impact the outcome of a game. This is one of the main jobs of the head referee standing behind the QB…[Read more]

Trailgoat replied to the topic It is week one. BUT in the forum Football 6 years, 5 months ago
Will come down to eliminating the two WTF losses plaguing this program. 100% on coach KW. No more depth, and player excuses. Coach KW needs to get over the hump on the UW, Oregon, Colorado type losses that have kept the Utes from winning the South. IMO, Gary Anderson will be the difference from a coaching perspective. Great opportunity to get it…[Read more]

Not if you’re a Dodger fan. That was a crazy ending. Machado’s response was classic. Dodgers do not have enough guys that can get base hits. Puig is one of the most overrated players in baseball.

Trailgoat started the topic Over the hump keys to winning the South in the forum Football 6 years, 6 months ago
A lot covered already with waaaay more informed fans on this site than I. Utah has been so close to winning the South. Easy to point out the WTF Colorado loss at UC with poor red zone play. OU at home etc- and all the others. There were also a number of good wins that made it close to start with that Utah stepped up. The key is closing on the…[Read more]
