Ute Dub

You know who has a worse defense than Wazzu at #115? How about New Mexico at #130.

The point about WAZZU is that many fans had a huge boner over their OC and QB. Yet New Mexico beat them while having a worse defense and worse recruiting.

They hung 52 points on the #43 defense AFA, but fair point on the rest. But if you’re going to acknowledge that, you have to acknowledge the other side of the coin. THEY’RE NEW MEXICO!. Why don’t you go recruit to New Mexico. Oh, so a mid level MWC team outside the P4 played a #90 average defense schedule? Yeah. That’s about what I would expect.

New Mexico beat Wazzu who had the other OC and QB that we wanted.

Utah with only 7 rushing TD’s means a whole hell of a lot. Utah in ‘21 and ‘22 had 37 and 38 rushing TD’s. What happened? Should we bring Ludwig back?

K-Whitt is an anchor of Utah football, but is he now a drag on finances? His $7mm per could be used in a lot of ways…hopefully to win more than 5 games. Rumor is Scalley is upset that Whitt is making all the decisions, despite Scalley being told he could be part of the hiring process. This is just pure internet rumor from those claiming to know…[Read more]

What’s the difference between Cam Rising and One Dollar? You can get 4 quarters from a dollar.

If he’s not “all in”, you know the rest.

I thought Ludwig made the call on Wilson, right? It’s well documented. Also, Wilson is Ludwig’s recruit, no?

Also, Ludwig stepped down.

I agree, but a coach as good as Urban is not going to stay at Utah, therefore, Whittingham is the greatest coach Utah could have that would stay long term.

We don’t have a full running back. Sorry. We don’t. We have a 6-10 play running back. We can’t close games.

Agree. Make the kid earn it based on merit. It’s seems like this didn’t happen here and it didn’t sit right with the team.

You’re not wrong. Everything Utah built as far as culture and long term development, was squashed. We traded the long smoked meat dinner for a microwave dinner. Now we have to eat it as sports fans.

Agree. The problem is if he’s mid at pass blocking, and the RG is woeful at pass blocking, then we have some problems straight up the gut.

I want to believe, but there’s not one area on offense that we are good at. Running? No, except maybe Iowa stat is really bad at run defense. Our RB is 220 ish graded at his position. Passing? All 3 QB’s are ranked below 300 in passing grades. I just don’t see it.

They look nice. The curse of the interlocking UU continues.

Bills’s PFF Grades were in the low 70’s for 2022 and 2023, which puts him top 100 for all Guards in College Football. Mokofisi’s grades were 63 for 2024 and 2023, which puts him outside the top 200 in CFB.

But why? Why are these guys not improving? Poor technique? They don’t watch film? They’re not getting stronger? I’m ok with a change from Harding.

Laumea was drafter last year.
Braeden Daniels was drafted in 2022.
