UteDuke replied to the topic Francis Bernard with Utah in the forum Football 6 years, 1 month ago
Very exciting news! Now, realistically, what are the chances that he is able to contribute meaningfully this season? Is it too much to ask that he come in and compete right away?

UteDuke replied to the topic Which SPECIAL special teams play will we see FIRST this season? in the forum Football 6 years, 1 month ago
If I’m not mistaken, Covey is listed as the back up holder for field goals. If this is the case, I expect at some point a fake field goal attempt that makes use of his special talents.

UteDuke replied to the topic A Utah football hypothetical in the forum Football 6 years, 1 month ago
I considered that as well. I might pick Isaac Asiata over Bolles just for the sake of consistency and avoiding those troubling penalties.

UteDuke replied to the topic A Utah football hypothetical in the forum Football 6 years, 1 month ago
I hadn’t thought of Dunn! That is saying something too, as I was at the Cal game when he ran back the two 100 yard returns and it has been one of my favorite Utah football experiences to witness in person.
A special teams unit with Gay, Wishnowski, Covey, and Dunn would be otherworldly. (Although it might be anyways if all works out) -
UteDuke replied to the topic Utah really has had some dynamic returners. in the forum Football 6 years, 2 months ago
We have. Boobie took it to the house at least once (against Colorado). There may be others that I’ve forgotten as well.

UteDuke replied to the topic Francis Bernard in the forum Football 6 years, 4 months ago
Assuming he does qualify and play, I have it as Hansen, Thompson, Barton, and Bernard as our LB corps. Is there anyone else that we should expect to contribute at the position? What about guys like Lloyd?

UteDuke started the topic I have a friend who is interested in going to the Utah volleyball game this week in the forum Other Ute Sports 6 years, 11 months ago
And I plan on trying to get tickets to go. I’ve never been to a Ute volleyball game though, and admittedly don’t know much about the team.
Can anyone help me out with tips on how best to go about it? I noticed that they sell tickets for general admission and reserved floor seats, how significant is the difference? Finally, any good info on the…[Read more] -
UteDuke started the topic What a game! in the forum Football 6 years, 11 months ago
Wow, what a game by this team! I felt that they had a chance in this one, but I didn’t know they’d be able to take it right down to the wire!
The loss hurts, I get that. It is going to skew things a bit. I personally felt like Troy and the rest of the team played a great game. We missed some opportunities, and that cost us. We have a lot to look…[Read more] -
UteDuke replied to the topic Speaking of Tuttle in the forum Football 6 years, 11 months ago
I’d say we are recruiting him because he is a fantastic QB and perhaps an even better guy and leader. It’s true that Taylor’s system is supposed to work best with a mobile QB, but if you listen to his interviews it is also supposed to be adaptable to the QB’s strengths. One of the best examples of this is what he did at Folsom with Browning, who…[Read more]

UteDuke started the topic Won the battle, but hoping we didn't lose the war. in the forum Football 6 years, 12 months ago
Praying for Fitts and Huntley! It will definitely be a blow to have them out for any length of time.
Credit to Troy, Chris Hart, and everyone else who stepped up when called upon!

UteDuke replied to the topic Travis Wilson vs Tyler Huntley in the forum Football 7 years ago
Absolutely agree with this. Travis may never get the respect he deserves, but count me as one fan who has gained a greater appreciation for what he brought to the team when he was here. I personally don’t feel like the read option or that pitch on the outside have been the same since he left. Didn’t always make the right decision, but when he was…[Read more]

UteDuke replied to the topic Phew!! in the forum Football 7 years ago
That’s what they said initially for Fitts last year too. Is it certain? Would hate to lose him for any length of time!

UteDuke started the topic The Carrington Effect in the forum Football 7 years, 1 month ago
Darren Carrington II brings so much to this team if all works out and he can stay out of trouble. What he means to the offense has been talked about here already, but what about the defense? One of the consistent critiques of the otherwise stout Utah defense has been the inability of the corners to cover some of the top flight receivers of the…[Read more]

UteDuke started the topic In regards to this season's game with BYU in the forum Football 7 years, 3 months ago
I’ve heard a lot of opinions from both sides of the spectrum on our game with BYU this coming football season. I think this article best summed up my feelings though:

UteDuke started the topic The Utah rushing attack in the forum Football 7 years, 3 months ago
The rushing attack is in a very interesting position going into this next season. All the talk seems to revolve around finding a suitable replacement for Joe Williams, and the fact that the Utes have a deep stable of potential talent to fill that position.
What I feel is a huge point that has not been discussed nearly as much, is how the running…[Read more] -
UteDuke started the topic Troy Williams in the forum Football 7 years, 3 months ago
I’ve heard a lot of mixed opinions from fans about our incumbent quarterback. Troy was a big time recruit out of high school, but hasn’t seemed to show that same ability on the college level. A lot of the blame for last year’s shortcomings may rest on A-Rod’s shoulders, but how much? I like Troy and his commitment to Utah, but my questions are…[Read more]

UteDuke started the topic Continuing the trend of trying to have good football talk in the offseason, in the forum Football 7 years, 3 months ago
Which of the fall incoming players are you most interested to see in camp?
This recruiting class has a lot of potential, especially at some of the positions of need. A lot of those players could be pretty big for us, but who are you most excited to see now? This excludes anyone who participated in Spring Ball such as Bateman and…[Read more] -
UteDuke started the topic Is it possible Utah's secondary may actually get better than last year? in the forum Football 7 years, 5 months ago
The secondary has been one of the main question marks after losing every starter but Chase Hansen to graduation or the draft. That is a major obstacle for any team to overcome. That being said, there is a fair chance that the Utah secondary could be even better this year than last if some big things go our way. We might have what we were missing…[Read more]

UteDuke started the topic Considering how big a win in the Coliseum would be this year, in the forum Football 7 years, 5 months ago
I think it ought to be one of Kyle Whittingham’s top priorites to find some way to allow the Utes to wear their blackout uniforms despite being on the road. The Trojans really seem to struggle against those.
Also, if they happen to return a kick on us for a touchdown we shouldn’t be too concerned as long as we can get them into fourth and short…[Read more] - Load More
