Keep in mind, they were backups so of course their stats aren’t going to be gaudy.
Canada rushed 9 times for 49 yards against Toledo(5.4 avg), 6 for 50 against Michigan State(8.3 avg), and 21 for 88 against Boise State(4.2 avg).
The bulk of Hall’s yards did come against SUU, UMass, and Utah State but those are the teams he got opportunities…[Read more]

This sounds great until you consider that Mangum was a RM freshman and Wilson was a 4 year starter playing his senior season. Surely Mangum will be better as a junior than he was as a freshman.
ETA: Here is a comparison of their freshman season stats vs P5 teams. I omitted Wilson’s USC stats because he was only used as a change up in that…[Read more]

UteThunder started the topic Mitch Wishnowsky makes the Ray Guy Award watch list. in the forum Football 7 years, 4 months ago
Not a surprise, given the fact he is last year’s winner but it is Utah football news.
Here’s to hoping our offense is so improved this year that Mitch wins the award with the fewest attempted punts ever.

UteThunder replied to the topic What kind of defense would you like to see next year? in the forum Football 7 years, 4 months ago
No offense, but I don’t think a video game is a good barometer for whether a scheme or play call is going to be effective in real life or not.

UteThunder started the topic Football Scheduling in the forum Football 7 years, 4 months ago
What is it going to take to get Utah State back on the schedule, even if only on a part-time basis?Hill is handcuffed in scheduling just a little bit with the political pressure to keep scheduling BYU, and the need for one-offs against FCS teams to balance the schedule and get us a 7th home game every other year. But I don’t see any reason why…[Read more]

UteThunder started the topic Utah's scheduling advantages or disadvantages this year. in the forum Football 7 years, 5 months ago
I think I’m going to post anything sports related here that I post over on UF.N. I’m doing this for two reasons: 1) I would like to see this place get more traffic. 2) There are people here who have left UF.N or have never been there to begin with.
Games in which Utah has extra time to prepare: @ BYU, vs Stanford, vs UCLA, vs Washington…[Read more] -

UteThunder replied to the topic Utah Football home and home with Wyoming in the forum Football 7 years, 6 months ago
As is the case with nearly every home and home series we have scheduled since joining the Pac-12.
BYU, Utah State, Michigan, San Jose State, N. Illinois, San Diego State, Baylor, and now Wyoming; the first game in all of these home and homes was, or will be, played on the road. The only series we have scheduled since joining the Pac-12 where the…[Read more]

UteThunder started the topic Spring Game Question in the forum Football 7 years, 7 months ago
Who are the projected starters that sat out during the spring game? Does anyone have a complete list?
I think someone mentioned that the entire expected starting OL sat out. Is that true? If so, I feel a lot better about our offense. If not, yikes. -

With the conclusion of The Masters, I wonder, which accomplishment is better or which one would you want to win if you could only have one?
A. Masters Green Jacket
B. Heisman Trophy
C. Super Bowl Ring
D. Olympic Gold Medal
E. Other Sports Championship/Achievement

UteThunder replied to the topic PAC-12 Championship Game Location in the forum Football 7 years, 7 months ago
For me, it comes down to two options. Either put it in Vegas or put it back on the college campus of the team with the best record. These two options seem to be the most fair to the participants as it will either be a true neutral site in Vegas or the team with the best record is rewarded by having homefield advantage. These options offer the best…[Read more]

While I will concede that males are generally more likely to be the ones who commit crimes, I’m not so naive as to believe this fairy tale that homeless women and children are all good, honest people who have simply fallen on hard times but would never break the law. There is a very high percentage of homeless women who commit crimes just like the…[Read more]
