That’s a very niche scenario…

Running backs are used way more than just on a 4th and goal. Plus, we also have other ball carriers for that if push came to shove. Kuithe or Carson Ryan could probably be used as an H-back in such a scenario. What big 12 D-line is stopping Kuithe at RB with Carsen Ryan and Dallen Bentley in at TE for blocking? The…[Read more]

I don’t think he said no more Cam Running, right? Just that they won’t need to run him very often due to the WR/TE being great in the passing game. I’d imagine Cam would probably get 2-3 designed runs per game to keep the defense honest, rather than the 5-10 he got before.

What genuinely made you think that a top 2 RB in the portal would choose Utah?

Even if true, RB is the least important position in the sport. With Cam and our WR/TE room, teams are going to have to respect the pass, which will open it up for the run anyway.

Still, it’s infinitely better to be in our position than Oklahoma State. I’d take Cam Rising and an unproven RB room over Ollie Gordon and Bowman.

Well, it depends on what age you are. For us zoomers, when we rank things, we do tier lists in which “S” tier is the elite ranking.

I’ve heard really good thing about Dijon Stanley as an athlete. Are they thinking of making him the PR and/or KR? Or is that still up in the air?

That makes perfect sense. After all, if some guy has improved substantially since spring, you’d ideally like to know early on in fall camp.

Well, that much is obvious lol. Cam isn’t a highly talented QB with an impressive arm. He is a good college dual threat that just has that “It” factor that not many people have. Isaac definitely has a higher ceiling, but for this season, Cam’s leadership, experience, chemistry with players and coaches, and familiarity with the system, far outweig…[Read more]

This is a terrible list. Alabama, TAMU, Georgia, and Ohio State are better home field advantages than Utah or Oregon. Alabama, UGA, and Ohio State just happen to be the 3 of the best programs in the last 6-7 years, with an overwhelming talent and coaching advantage over most of their opponents. So they win because they are good, not necessarily…[Read more]

Even if Rising does miss the game, which if he does, hopefully it’s a temporary injury, how funny would it be if Isaac Wilson as a true freshman demolishes BYU lol.

Yeah, it’s absolutely ridiculous and shameful. Funny how they also say our ceiling is only 11-1. I would bet my entire life savings that 12-0 is more likely than 5-7. Hell, 13-0 is more likely than 5-7.

Yeah, this list is just ridiculous. Utah had the worst injury luck last season of any team, and we went 8-4 in a tougher schedule. 9-3 is this teams floor.

One thing I noticed from the spring game and scrimmage clips is that Wilson is not shy from throwing into tight coverage that would be contested catches. So I’m wondering how Whitt feels about this given we’ve heard rumors that his “no turnovers” offensive philosophy stunts QB development and risk taking.

I want to see Cam, Kuithe, Barton, and Fano look back to their pre injury selves. I want to see QB2 (Isaac Wilson) get meaningful reps to build experience. At the end of the day, Cam might get miss some time, and we need to be prepared for that. I don’t wanna see a bunch of runs to close out a game. Let IW build chemistry with the WR’s against SUU

You’re foul for this. I thought you were talking about Myles or Epenesa lol.

I agree with him overall tbh. Arizona, Iowa State, and possibly TCU will all be tough games, but with the home field advantage, I think we win all 3. Oklahoma State and UCF are iffy to me. It’s funny that he think the Oklahoma state game will be a defensive battle, because I actually think it has a higher chance of being a shootout. Oklahoma S…[Read more]

Not to mention that he’s probably not even ready to play as a true freshman anyway. We saw firsthand how an elite 5 star like Dante Moore fared when he played a defense that wasn’t abysmal, as a true freshman. QB is just incredibly hard to play as a true freshman, and it would definitely be best to have him as the scout team QB.

Top 3:

Joe Williams vs UCLA 2016
Dalton Kincaid vs USC (round 1) 2022
CP3 vs Oregon State 2022

Honorable mention:
Cam Rising vs USC (round 1) 2022

I don’t think Miki’s problem was athleticism, although that certainly helps. There were just some moments last year when his TE play was, uh, questionable to say the least, which is expected from a position change.

Very interesting on Rose tbh. His spring game was just no good, while Isaac looked great as a true freshman. I wonder if it’s just Whitt’s antiquated approach of limiting mistakes, which is honestly playing not to lose instead of playing to win.

But again, this type of speculation and questioning is what happens when the media and fans are com…[Read more]
