Who is the best offensive player on this year’s team?
The obvious candidates are Moss, Huntley, and Covey, but maybe Dixon, Simpkins or Enis jump up there, especially with Covey coming off of multiple injuries.
I say Moss is our best offensive player. He is the only sure-fire NFL skill player we have right now and he is just a beast. Huntley has…[Read more]

I’ve been too busy lately to sit down and watch the Spring game but finally got around to it. 
Huntley looks much improved. He does look bigger, as someone else mentioned before, but he will always be slight. He’s just not a big frame guy. I was most impressed by the touch on his passes. He wasn’t just rifling the ball in there every time. He…[Read more]

I can’t help but laugh at the people protesting. They CHOSE to attend that university knowing full well about its honor code and the way it is enforced. If they don’t like it, then they should transfer to another school. Period. End of story.

Ron Mcbride is the most BELOVED football coach in University of Utah history. He restored Utah football to a consistent winner and he was just so likeable. To many, he was like a father or an uncle or grandfather. And it seemed quite clear that Utah is the place he wanted to be.
Urban Meyer is the BEST football coach in University of Utah…[Read more]

First of all, the name of the league. AAF? Doesn’t exactly roll off the tongue.
Second, the team names, logos, and uniforms all remind me of the fake teams you would see in a football movie like Any Given Sunday. So ugly and lame.
Third, and most important, is the talent level. A bunch of fringe NFL guys playing with a bunch of washed up NFL…[Read more]

Third is the weird rules. Is this American football or a mutated pro-bowl version of it?

Fourth, and most…[Read more]

It didn’t happen!
Utah did average 36.9 ppg that year AS A TEAM, but when you take out defensive and special teams touchdowns the offense averaged only 33.7 ppg. Ludwig’s offense was also gifted 5 FGs that year. What I mean by that is, the offense took over in FG range due to defense or special teams play and his offense wasn’t able to get a…[Read more]

After having a little more time to digest the news of Ludwig being hired, here’s how I see it.
It’s not the most exciting hire, but I’m glad we didn’t go with Harding or some unproven/inexperienced guy.  We were hoping for a homerun big name hire. Ludwig feels like a single stretched into a double off of a fielder error.
Quite possibly the best…[Read more]

When will the new OC announcement be made?
If it is Ludwig, my money is on tomorrow or Saturday which will tell us a lot about how even they view this hire. 

….. and Harding would be VERY disappointing.
Not only would Ludwig be a very underwhelming choice, but I think this hire would put Whittingham on very thin ice. Going from 4 years with Ludwig to the 10 year OC carousel we’ve been on to then ultimately end up back with Ludwig who was fired/encouraged to leave originally would cement the idea…[Read more]

Whittingham needs to hire someone like RichRod AND THEN let that guy clean house on the offensive side of the ball!!!
I don’t want a single one of these offensive coaches to come back.
IMO, this has been one of the problems with all of the OC turnover. Kyle hires a new OC but then only lets them bring in maybe one of their own guys and keeps the…[Read more]

It would be funny if it wasn’t on full display during our biggest bowl game since the Sugar Bowl.
And people here want this man to be our next OC. SMH
