Does anyone know where you’d be able to find concrete data on NIL spending? There seems to be a distinct difference in payouts, with BYU opting to pay large sums for individual players, and Utah going for more of a moneyball approach. Ryan Smith rightfully gets sh*t for nosediving the Jazz until ~2035, but we may be singing a different tune on the…[Read more]

Stinks, but the flip side of the NIL coin is being able to reach out to other teams players. If we want him, donate and cross your fingers.

If I had to guess, it’s probably both. Whitt’s offense seems to play to the players strengths, but not at the cost of risking turnovers or negative plays. I remember going from almost never having a fullback in 2021 to Logan Kendall committing padded homicide in 2022. I’d be interested in seeing how the offense changed from just one year to the…[Read more]

Exact same archetype as Kuithe. I love it. Earning praise from Whitt as a freshman isn’t easily done.

Good work tomahawk

Utah’s gigantic recruiting and portal class may be considered an overhaul, and I feel the coaching staff deserves the benefit of the doubt. Their response to the Ty and Aaron tragedies was absolutely textbook on how to get through something that terrible the right way.

The past two seasons have been poor, but the majority of players showing what…[Read more]

Whoever the new person is, I just want to have butts in seats. The revenue sharing program coupled with the of new students since 2022 will hopefully help. I’m about as good at collegiate athlete economics as the next couch GM, but this program seems stuck and in desperate need of any enthusiasm to get finances, recruiting, etc. going again.

You’d be hard pressed to find another team who started ten (I think) QBs the past two years. I’m okay with a recruit who gets dinged for a slow 40 because he has obscenely thick and durable joints in his knees and ankles.

As we’ve learned the last few years, preseason rankings mean jack sh*t. If Utah stays healthy, we will be fine.

Defense has earned the benefit of the doubt. My therapist says the offense from 2024 was actually just my imagination and any mention of it or something about TCU in 2010 should be ignored. I don’t care what the offense looks like, just as long as we don’t have to sit through another year of run for 2 against an 8 man box, run for 3 against a 7…[Read more]

Portal could actually be fun if there was any transparency. Would I read into it? Probably not. But at least the figures would be out there. Players wouldn’t get absolutely shafted like that Rashada kid with the Florida collective, and fans would get to see things like Cam was paid like 50 grand to appear in three MACU ads, Ryan Smith is naming…[Read more]

Repeat after me:

I.

“I”

Will not drink the kool-aid until the season starts.

“Have had a small sip”

Dammit

I think it’s best if everything happens in that first second. Alabama ran it extremely well (the four first round WRs, first round RB, and three starting NFL QBs on the roster may have helped) because Tua would either hand it off or immediately fire it to a WR. Offensive lineman might get downfield… but the ball is gone by their third step.

Not disagreeing, but any idea on what the time of possession or average starting field position stats are? Utah has had a good record over this time frame, and teams like Michigan, Wisconsin, Stanford, LSU, Michigan State, Wisconsin again just cause I love me some fullback, and even Bama have had less than exciting offenses for periods of time in…[Read more]

Well.. I’m old…

I wholeheartedly reject the short-term-memory, “what have you done for me lately”, rats jumping off of a ship when they feel a drop of water idea that this staff is inept. The thing about riding or dying is that sometimes you’re riding, and sometimes you’re dying. It’s important to realize you have to give your confidence and support through both.…[Read more]
