UTE98

Watching the replay of the first play of the second quarter was a thing of beauty. On the replay it was so fun to watch two UCLA defenders crash into each other. Not a pick play as the outside WR had come inside and the DB was playing trail, then BOOM!!!!! Took out the guy covering McCormick.
And McCormick’s second TD was also beautiful. I was a…[Read more]

The past is the past.

Funny joke whoever is trying to convince me this is the same team from the last two weeks. 

Watching him at the halftime interview and just glancing at the first few minutes of his post game interview he seems content.
Soft you might say.
I just don’t see the same fire in his belly, has his halftime speech transformed to, “Guys look we’re only down 8, I know we haven’t scored an offensive TD since Lincoln was President, but we can keep…[Read more]

unless they’re scorin pick 6, we ain’t winning.

OSU looked better against Stanford than we do right now.
What happened?

It’s our only hope.

I’ve mentioned it before, probably on UF.N, but I really want to avoid the Nebraska/Solich factor as I call it.
Solich had the following records at Nebraska
1998 9-4 (Lost the Holiday Bowl)
1999 12-1 (Won the Fiesta Bowl)
2000 10-2 (Won the Alamo Bowl)
2001 11-2 (Lost the Rose Bowl)
2002 7-7 (Lost the Independence)
2003 9-3 (Fired before…[Read more]

Carrington catching the winning TD in the back corner of the end zone with less than 20 seconds on the clock.
CACAWWWW!!!!!
Though I’ll just take the win, no matter how it comes.

Well at least we can continue to say we overachieve with 2 and 3 star players.

I am so tired of our offense not pulling their weight. Is this a letdown from the loss at USC? We get up for USC, and Stanford and fall flat against ASU, Colorado, etc.
KWhitt, this ain’t the Mountain West, every game, every week!!!!!

I am so frustrated with the way this team is playing, and I have no faith they’ll make the correct adjustments at half time.
If KW ain’t winning at half, not much chance of him engineering a comeback in this game.
And it’s on the offense. Can’t expect the defense to play over 20 minutes of defense in a half and not finally give up a TD.
I’m so…[Read more]

Smith Sr. will be at this weekend’s game.
Just don’t be “Gross”ed out. 
Man I make myself laugh. 

Or should I call it road rash rally?
Road teams were 1-5 this week in the Pac, only win was by the hapless Buffs and an even sorrier OSU. A game neither team deserves to win, but the Buffs squeaked out a 3 point victory.
My prediction, Utah wins the South the same year we play, all the games against the North at home (except for OSU), and also…[Read more]

I haven’t gone back and looked at the play so am looking for some insight.
1. Did we actually sub? Whit kept yelling, “WE DIDN’T SUB!!!!’
Was that true?
2. It looked like the defender kept running around for like three or four seconds not knowing where he should line up, which the ref kept watching as he stood over the ball.
Why wouldn’t a…[Read more]

With Huntley I give us even odds at wins in the rest of our games.
With Williams, I give us wins against ASU, UCLA, Oregon and Colorado, losses to WSU and Washington. He really played pretty well tonight in the first half. That second half I’m blaming on the coaching staff and lack of adjustments. And man I wish he’d looked up to find Carrington…[Read more]

Remaining schedule looks very difficult.
ASU team which lost to TTU and SDSU, favorable.
ASU which just beat Washington, difficult.
Oregon which just got curb stomped by Stanford, favorable.
Oregon which beat Cal, Wyo, Nebraska and SUU, difficult.
UCLA which lost to Stanford and Arizona, favorable.
UCLA which beat aTm, difficult.
WSU which…[Read more]

Didn’t notice until the replay that TD pass was from the opposite hash mark. Well thrown ball.
Keep feeding Moss, keep Williams clean and we’re in good shape.
The D is playing well other than the blown coverage on the TD. Keep the ball in front and let USC put the pressure on themselves, grind this out on the ground.
No turnovers and we should win.

Seeing the post by rbmw263 below about the salt waterfall made me think, yeah it’s time.
Some of you may remember on UF.N I posted Utah was going to the Pac12 about six months before it actually happened. I probably wasn’t the first, but I confirmed it. I was shocked it took so long because my source told me it would be announced within two…[Read more]
