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]

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]

So I know that many of Utah’s spring camp practices will be closed to the media and public this year, but I heard talk on the board that you can still go watch at the fence? If this is indeed the case, does anyone plan on keeping the rest of us up to date on what is going on?
Utah did a fantastic job yesterday with his report, and I am going to…[Read more]

With spring camp soon or now starting (I’ll admit that I didn’t check the date) here are my very early predictions for players at each position. I am listing each player in order of where I believe they will rank on the depth chart. Disclaimer: I do not claim to have spelled any of these names correctly.
Offense:
OL – Lo Falemaka, Salesi…[Read more]

I know there are those on this board that would prefer that we not discuss TDS at all, but it is our first real game of next season and will tell us a lot about the team. In addition to that, I got into a discussion with a pretty disallusioned BYU fan and needed a place to use actual logic to evaulate the game.
The way I see it, I expect that our…[Read more]

Kansas City’s loss tonight is just the latest wound. How is it that everything Utah or Utah related (The Chiefs because of Alex Smith of course) struggle so intensely to put points on the board? The defense prevented the Steelers from scoring a single touchdown and they still couldn’t muster the necessary effort to come away with the win?!
I feel…[Read more]

First of all, the game yesterday was outstanding. I don’t know that I could have imagined a better, and frankly more ironic, end to the college football season. I was thinking a lot about our Utah team while watching the game, and here are some of my thoughts:
1. Alabama’s linebackers are unreal. They made plays all night and dismantled Clemson’s…[Read more]

The 2009 Utah vs. Alabama Sugar Bowl game was playing earlier on the PAC-12 Football in 60. It is easily one of the most mentioned games, is it the best game in Utah Football history? If not, or even if so, what are some other candidates that should be considered?

The PAC-12’s chances of getting a team into the playoffs just increased significantly. Louisville was a hot pick to steal away one of the bids with Clemson also being projected to grab a spot. Houston was in the backfield on virtually every play and gave Lamar Jackson fits.

“Utah has to be careful not to look beyond Oregon to a showdown with Colorado that will likely decide the PAC-12 South Division Champion.”
Before this season, would anyone have imagined that the above would be a valid statement? This is the same Oregon team only two years removed from having played in the National Championship game, and the same…[Read more]

That being said, Utah has absolute control of their destiny and seems to be playing some of their best ball as of late. It sure is nice to have players like Marcus Williams back as well!
One interesting thought though, if USC beats UCLA next week and Colorado loses to WSU then Colorado would be out of the South race because USC would finish at…[Read more]

So, I can’t really say that I fully understand the tiebreaker rules in the PAC-12, but it seems that it would still be possible for Utah to win the South regardless of what happens in Boulder at the end of the season. It would be a long shot, but I see it as needing 3 things to happen:
 
1. Utah must beat Oregon at home next week (A good chance…[Read more]

These are just some thoughts I have had about the performance of some of our players to this point in the season. I have chosen just a few players that have been on my mind. I appreciate others thoughts on whether they agree or disagree with my analysis.

Boobie Hobbs, #1: Holy heck, I have a mini heart attack about every time the other team is…[Read more]
