UTE98

Should have known that was the kind of head coach Whitt would be. 
I think we lead the nation in leads lost during the 4th quarter, or most games lost by less than 8 points.
Yesterday about four top 15 teams scored less than 30 points, and that includes Penn St v. Ohio St.
Last week four of the top 15 teams scored less than 30 points and of the…[Read more]

So reading the board I just realized something one of my old bosses used to say, “You’ve got to score!”
Do we really care if we rack up 1200 yards on offense if we fumble the ball, get stopped on 4th down, or throw a pick all after we’ve driven 98 yards to the 1 yard line? NO!!!!!!!
It ain’t about the stats it’s about putting the ball in the…[Read more]

We are not as good as we’d all hoped. Pretty much every year I look at the scoring happening with other Pac-12 teams and I think we’ll never outscore them.

This year may really be the year we can’t outscore anyone.

Games from last year and my prediction for points.

Arizona 2017 – 30 points, I’m taking the under.

Stanford 2017 – 20 points, I’m…[Read more]

Don’t get me wrong the Pac12 South is definitely in the running. After today it will likely be the only P5 half without a ranked team.
Other potential victors:
Big10 West – Purdue, Nebraska, Northwestern, Iowa, Minnesota, (6) Wisconsin, Illinois.
SEC East – (3) Georgia, Kentucky, Missouri, Tennessee, Vanderbilt, Florida, South Carolina.
 

1 a, b, c Oregon, Stanford, Washington I think we lose to all three. However we might get a second shot at one of them.
4. Washington St (I think Utah passes them for the #4 position, but we won’t get any higher)
5. Utah
6. Cal
7. Colorado
8. ASU
9. USC
10. Arizona
11. Oregon St
12. UCLA
I think the winner of the Pac12 South is going to…[Read more]

…must be paying them to protect the North. I don’t usually blame things on the refs. They missed way too many calls and the replay crew missed just as many. Okay, we were sledding uphill due to the refs but really all complaints about the refs are negated by the following.
Huntley has about as much touch on short throws as a jugs machine turned…[Read more]

Okay, I’ll go in reverse order, I can’t sleep and thought I’d throw these out there.
The Ugly 
Our special teams, other than the kick offs, and receving kick offs. I’ve been watching for which teams take the fair catch inside the 25 and which don’t, I think the fair catch is the best option, unless the ball is kicked directly to you and the…[Read more]

He was the beginning of this offensive lack of consistency.

I’m confused how we can’t even get out guys out of the way so Covey can catch the ball, and half the time Covey doesn’t have enough time to catch and run. 
1. Are opposing punters skying it short? Thus causing our blockers/Covey no chance to return.
2. Two blocked FGs and a missed FG, how does that happen? Any chance we can see Chayden Johnston?…[Read more]

That last series they throw the ball deep twice and then punt. They can’t win on one play, why not try to get some points even if it’s a FG, you need to narrow the gap. A few first downs would have gotten some momentum. Smell the desperation.
Not worried about Arizona if they keep this kind of play calling.

Unicorns????? and John Heder???? I really can’t believe even TDS is that stupid.

I’ve seen enough evidence of the positive effects of cannabis oils and other non-THC derivatives to form my opinion. Also living in Colorado, I haven’t seen the absolute destruction of society as we know it.
 
Back to football.

I’ve heard three best DBs in the nation in only about four games this weekend.
It’s kind of like preseason rankings, premature.
 

I was at the VaTech BSU game at FedEx field in D.C. I was cheering for VaTech, and yes, I’m from Boise and grew up a Broncos fan. 1998 ruined it for me, I want to see them lose. Though now that we’re in the Pac12 I’m softening on the non P-5s.
Peterson will somehow make this look better. Not guaranteeing a win, but I think it won’t be a blowout.

Jackson ran to the spot and stopped. The WSU player hit him and pushed him into Huntley.
I think Jackson learns from this, I’m not football stud, but even I know it is better to administer the blow than to receive it on a block or tackle.

…the team and coach to win that one game?
 
Just a little trivia to get the football memory juices flowing.
