Utah has made it clear that they value the portal and late announcing high star recruits. Therefore, looking at the early recruiting rankings isn’t groing to tell the full story.

Yup. That guys projecting 2026 during 2024 and not comparing any of the recent years’s trends. He needs to stop being a bitc4 and so worrisome.

Meh. In 2018, Utah took 2 of the top 10 Utah recruits. Utah is loaded with upperclassman. There’s not a lot of open starting opportunity across the board.

I think you’re wrong on this one. Utah needs NFL guys. Most of Utah’s NFL guys come from out of state. Reverse engineer the recruiting and if Utah gets half or 40% of the top 10 Utah kids, that’s about at or above the average nationwide and historically. Of course there have been some up years where they’ve grabbed 70% or 80% but those are the out…[Read more]

How many times do we need to say this: most states lose half their top 10 kids to out of state schools. The end.

If money was not a consideration, I would love this idea.

We do not.

I’ll agree with you there. Cam’s 30+ PPG average is better at 80% than a true freshman with the yips.

I’m going to disagree. Whit didn’t float the ball to Kuithe wide open over the middle. Whitt didn’t run the ball for less than 1 YPC Mike Mitchell. A couple plays hit in the first half and Utah has the momentum early. I will say though that Whitts demeanor carries to the team sometime and seems to bog them down mentally.

He’s better than Mike Mitchell’s 1 YPC.

Is he redshirting to transfer? Just my speculation with zero information. I felt like he could get open and catch the ball.

Agree, Utah passing 40 times and running 30 times with a true freshman QB is bewildering to me. But then again maybe Utah doesn’t have the depth at RB with Mitchell average 1 YPC. Sheesh.

You’re right, we should have rejected the BIG 12 invite and went independent or went back to the MwC.

Some of us still think it’s Christmas that Utah ever made it into the PAC 12 and would have equally been thrilled to leave the MW for BIG 12. I don’t remember playing at Laramie or Albuquerque this year. More change is yet to come. Stay grateful and those good vibes will pay dividends down the road.

Typically, Max Protect only has 3 pass catchers running routes beyond the line of scrimmage. An ‘extreme’ good example is Money Parks 20 yard catch in the second quarter at the 13:00 minute mark. In that play Utah only sends 2 receivers downfield. They have 8 protecting the QB. It gives Wilson time and the Utes pick up a big chunk play.

A lot…[Read more]

Only 1 sac allowed on the year (Fillinger). That being said, they are mostly in max protect.
