Utah Jr.

This is why hearing coaches whining about NIL and transfers and everything makes me laugh. They are cool with the system as long as it keeps players not paid, not able to transfer but the coach can leave whenever they want, do commercials, shop their services around, etc.

This is really interesting. I think the strategy before this rule was get your young guys in the games early. Use their 3 games in OOC that don’t matter, when you are up big. Now…this can be huge for depth.

I still think you play someone who could contribute vs SUU. But then, you probably save them for later in the year. If you could have a…[Read more]

Good.

I hope he gets cut and then ends up in Philly.

Huntley isn’t a starting QB. But what he is a QB who doesn’t turn the ball over, athletic, can get the ball to his playmakers. If you build a great team around him, he can get the job done.

That is what Philly needs. A QB that you don’t feel like you need to rush Hurts back if he gets hurt. Someone…[Read more]

Totally agree. Completely different person in real life.

When he left, he let slip that he put on a front because of the way his wife was treated by fans. He just shut down after that. He was there to do a job and he felt good at BYU, and they paid him, so he stayed, but once he knew he couldn’t succeed how he wanted to and how the fans wanted…[Read more]

I mean…he’s in the MWC, right? There is no great team there. No Utah, no TCU. He might not have the best athletes, but he’s a great coach.

They will win 8+ most years and let’s be honest…taking down Boise St…isn’t that hard of a feat.

This. I don’t like going conservative in games like these. These are gentlemen’s games. These are games you pay a lot of money for so you can practice vs someone other than yourself. So practice. Open the offense up. Let Rising get comfortable and then let Wilson air it out and get some real, live reps. Let’s make sure our guys’ first snaps aren’t…[Read more]

New Mexico was up like 31-7 and lost.

Playing Florida week 1? Yup.

Playing SUU week 1? Nope. Not at all.

It boils down to what I’ve been seeing all summer long…

If you are more talented than Utah, you can beat Utah. If you have the same talent as Utah or less, you will lose.

Here is my reply to all this: Sure. But the Big 12 teams have the same issues with us. Iowa St, Baylor and TCU will all go through that. Plus, they all have to prep for us having never seen us, and frankly, we are more talented than they are.

We are a deeper team than UCF. A couple injuries and they are an average G5 team.

They still need a couple more years recruiting to get to where they are contenders.

UCF at the beginning of the year is a much better team than UCF in November.

Huh. Thanks for this info. I’ll definitely have to look into this.

WHAT!!!!! Don’t buy this stadium bullshit. Utah has played at Michigan, Autzen, Florida, the Rose Bowl, Husky Stadium.

This stadium nonsense is just that. Nonsense. The crowd noise will not be a factor because it ain’t that abnormal.

Utah will struggle at Oklahoma St or Orlando Florida…lol. Give me a break.

Shit, we went to Baylor last…[Read more]

Do I think OSU and UCF are better than Florida? UCF – nope. Not even close. Florida is a much more talented team than UCF.

OSU – yes…and no. Look, Florida had more talent than Utah. Florida recruits better than Utah.

Cam Rising is 19-1 vs teams that recruit worse or about the same as Utah. And the one loss was Rising’s first ever road game…[Read more]

Awesome. Thank you.

As far as playing Boise…this ain’t your momma’s Boise anymore and we actually have QB’s now.

The years Boise played and beat us, we never had a healthy QB.

We would absolutely destroy Boise St today.

For the record, this post wasn’t calling anyone out. I don’t think anyone on this board is saying these things. I just found it interesting that Utah really doesn’t fail to live up to expectations and usually exceeds them. That’s all.

Utah isn’t a school that performs better as the underdog, or fails in big games or anything else like that. Utah…[Read more]

There are days I walk, there are days I run. Some people tell me to run, we shall see as I want to run but sometimes I walk.
