Solid post.
Yup. KW > Utah football. KW stays as long as he wants and does whatever he wants, win or lose. KW goes 0-12 next year he keeps on coaching. Let’s be honest, Utah football being bad is really not that important to the University as long as fans keep filling seats and boosters donate $.

AD: If Harlan’s going to be on the field, why did he not jump out and tackle the BYU KO returner running down the sidelines. At least he would of had a meaningful outcome on the game. KW may have given him the game ball. I expect to see Harlan in full football gear for remaining games ready to help the special teams. Plenty of opportunities in t…[Read more]

Man, I hope LK gets some pass action the next three weeks. I always look to see if he’s out there. Fan favorite. The phantom holding call on him was complete BS and was as impactful as ZV holding gate.

Hopefully IW is good to go at QB. It’s officially his team if he wants it if the BR rumors are true. No more BS about who’s playing QB, time to…[Read more]

I thought the same thing Miami. Why not spin up some drama :). Seems out of character for Harlan who is very careful about how he presents himself through the media. To go scorched earth from his usual smooshy persona seems odd. Good on him. That said, he could be fed up with his pathetic football team and needed a public vent. Personally, not…[Read more]

Total bummer. Glad Kuithe got the opportunity to play again at Utah, he showed solid leadership during obscurity that bodes well for future life challenges. Depending on the extent of his injury, Kuithe still has a shot in the NFL. Probably a silver lining he’s exiting the sh&@ show program now as its only going to get worse over the next few w…[Read more]

Vintage KW 2nd half football, vanilla offense, sitting on a small lead leaning on defense to hang on. Everyone in the building knew what the game plan would be from KW in the 2nd half. Jay Hill made 2nd half adjustments shutting Utah’s offense down anticipating KW’s typical playing the analytic clock game instead of playing football. Sure the hol…[Read more]

Pressure is on BYU. Utah has a different kind of pressure. Losing a 5th game in a row and to BYU at home may cause another wave of unhappy Utah fans if we see the same listless QB play, dropped passes, and missed blocks. I think we’ll see where it’s headed early in the first quarter after the initial game emotion wears off.

If there’s one word to describe this football team it’s fragile.

Might take a couple seasons to become more interested in the B12. Still have a P12 hangover, finding more interest in watching USC vs UW than KSU vs Houston. It was so much easier and cheaper from where I live to go see Utah games on the West Coast. Nothing against, Stillwater, Waco, Fort Worth, all the other beautiful locations in the B12.…[Read more]

Pile on alert! Scary when digging into some of the game numbers over the past month. Arizona has not won a game since beating Utah at the RES. In the 5 games after Utah, opposing teams avg 38 points a game against UofA. Utah’s 10 points scored against UofA is the lowest point total allowed all season by UofA equal to NAU. Caleb Lohner scored the…[Read more]

Solid post. Next 4 games should be interesting. KW goes out on his terms of course, rightfully so.

Does MS really want to wait around a couple years while KW ponders his retirement trying to fix what he has stated he doesn’t know what to fix?

MS may find a better growing experience outside the Utah bubble, starting fresh at a well supported G…[Read more]

Add in the anemic offense with its list of issues going against a DC and HC knowing Utah’s flat offensive scheme and tendencies. Hoping Sitake learned from KW how to orchestrate the yearly WTF game next week so Utah has a chance. KW’s taking it to a new level with the WTF season. Maybe we’ll see some optimistic rivalry magic and B12 after dark…[Read more]

Looking forward to a fresh start with MS allowing a new OC to do his job not interfering with recruiting and developing QBs fitting a new offensive system. Unfortunately, KW for all his accomplishments ends his career with the same recurring issues he could never really escape. Beginning to think Ludwig may be the smartest one of all to flee the…[Read more]

Agree UD. Huge Bernard fan. He’s been put in a crappy situation and keeps grinding. Bernard’s role at Utah has mostly been the 2 or 3 back in the rotation adding more of a pass threat with solid run capability. Solid blitz pick up blocker in pass pro. Every down bell cow RB carrying the ball 20+ times a game is not his jam. Problem compounded by…[Read more]

The defense is doing very well considering the complete lack of production from the offense and the amount of time they spend on the field following 3 and outs on almost every offensive possession.

For better or worse, 2 week selling window with a bye week is only going to make it worse. Not sure anything at this point changes the direction of a broken locker room. I’m sure we’ll hear more from players when the season ends after the UCF game.

Wait…UNLV runs RPO where the QB room comprises QBs with the same profile that actually run the ball on the right read. The UNLV back-up QB steps right in. Everyone knows 5’10” 190lb Wilson is not running the ball more than 1-2 times a game, especially with no backup QB worthy of playing per KW. The Ludwig “complex” offense excuse is a cop out.…[Read more]

Maybe BR is content with getting a paid for education, some team NIl cash, drive around in a free truck, enjoying the school and team/friends/college life. Not a bad gig. Crazy what college football has turned into.

Agree on the OC point. Doesn’t make sense for KW to hire the OC if Morgan is taking over in the next 1-2 years. Naming a coach in waiting secures continuity with Morgan and signals KW has his eye on the door. I’m sure there’s perk overlap with the consultant gig in his contract. Good hell, KW makes enough $ for 10 people to comfortably retir…[Read more]

Yeah, filled the golf bags with Uinta Cuthroat and played on. Good times.
