I have a suspicion that if OSU had played Southern Utah, OSU’s D would be ranked higher.

It is going to be a tough matchup Saturday and for years to come.

Thanks for being here and lending reason to the madness that is college football!

Their receivers looked really good to me. Big, fast, strong.

We know their RB can be fantastic. Gundy said in his presser that they didn’t try to run through the stacked box and took what the D gave them. He also said he knows Utah will stack the box as well so we should expect a lot of passing attack.

I am hoping to see our D pressure the QB…[Read more]

Of course I am optimistic about our defense- does not mean I am certain they will shut the Cowboys down.

We are playing a good team on the road. A win here sets up a fantastic season. Such wins are hard to get.

This is the exciting part of college football!

Who down voted “Go Utes?”

WTF?

He is a mash up of Sylvester Stallone and Mike Leach with a little Kyle Whittingham thrown in. The mullet would make his presser a bit better.

Obviously he knows his business and is a formidable opponent.

Call me crazy but Ludwig seems the obvious answer. Convince him to stick around for a few years to facilitate the transition. He is only 60.

Oklahoma St. is good

Do any of the coaches express public interest in replacing their bosses? I don’t remember ever seeing a coordinator-in-waiting announcement.

But I have no idea about Shah’s aspirations or intentions.

How about we actually support our colleagues?

I’d like to see Utah win the conference championship vs another undefeated or 1-loss B12 team and see both teams make the playoffs and get some wins. It takes time to create bonds but it would be absolutely fantastic to meet another B12 team in the playoff semi- since we are simply imagining a fun…[Read more]

Bingo. I want to see him stay calm, make good decisions, and pass accurately when he throws the ball.

If he does these things I expect him to look fantastic.

Bemoaning our conference seems like bemoaning cold during winter and heat during summer. There is nothing I can do about it so focus on the positive aspects of both seasons rather than feel miserable about the negative aspects.

The positives about being in the B12 as I see them:
-Access to the playoffs. If Utah is really so much better than all…[Read more]

I’ll be shocked if it is not Shah. He is charismatic, played at Utah, great recruiter, has two degrees from Utah (undergrad and Law), has more knowledge than anyone else on the staff regarding Utah’s defensive schemes and strategies, and has been very loyal.

You would think so. Announcers said they saw blood but I didn’t.

There are lacerations and lacerations. If it is an inconsequential nick then it doesn’t matter when he comes back. If it is a significant lac with suture over or on the side of the knuckle- it needs time to heal or it will split open again. It could be bolstered with tape or steri-strips for game time. But playing with a not-healed and significant…[Read more]

“make it known that they want somebody, they confidently make their pitch, and they let the chips fall and move on regardless.”

I suspect this to be exactly what the coaches are doing. The fans are the ones being a little gross. The coaches are recruiting and will be fine whatever the outcome is. I am sure they want him but I am equally sure…[Read more]

D? Did you see that they won the game?

If Rising has a finger sprain it will not heal quickly if he is gripping and throwing. He will need to be shut down in order to recover properly. QB2 has to be QB1 for preparation.

I don’t think anyone is wanting to judge Wilson’s career or value to the program- people are observing that he has not been good. Which he has not. This is not to see that he won’t be good. But over two games he has played poorly and it is fair to say that this type of play will not be good enough for Utah to achieve the type of season that most…[Read more]
