Given that we saw Rose come in with no change in the players’ demeanor, I’m guessing Huard lights things up in practice and players feel he should be starting instead of Wilson.

When and where did Scalley make that comment about offense?

Offense or Defense?

As a position coach or a coordinator?

Look at the talent he had at NW compared to the rest of the B1G. It might explain some of his offensive struggles there.

No he didn’t. When he came back, Ludwig made a comment about this being his last coaching stop and when Whit goes, he will too.

Looking at this remaining schedule and our putrid offense, we are looking at an 8 game losing streak this year.

It was 8 wins, but your point remains.

Ludwig won’t be fired mid season, Whit won’t do that to one of his best friends. I also doubt he will strip him of play calling duties. If he does, he won’t announce it.

Others to consider:

1994 Utah 34 – BYU 31 (Second 34-31 game, share of the conference title, and validated the previous year’s win)
2003 Utah 31 – California 24 (Alex Smith vs Aaron Rodgers, Utes win on a late touchdown run by Warfield)
2004 Utah 41 – Texas A&M 21 (Beginning of the 2004 BCS busting year, announcing to the world just how good Utah…[Read more]

Passing up FGs on 4th down inside the 30 would be one reason it’s coaching. (I hate analytics)

Ouch. So, in other words, bet the under against TCU.

It’s Rose. Whit confirmed in his presser today.

And how many times did BYU luck out in 1984? There’s at least a couple of games they were lucky to get out of with a W.

I don’t know who Mike Samford is, but he isn’t the coach at UNLV. That would be Barry Odom.

Yes and No.

ASU is better than expected, they were picked to finish last in the Big XII but are currently 5-1.

However, they aren’t that good. How many passes did Cam miss his wide open target by a mile? ASU didn’t stop us, Cam’s inability to be effective stopped us. If Cam had been able to throw accurately, we win that game going away. Even if…[Read more]

If Friday’s team is who we are moving forward . . .

vs TCU – Toss-up
@ Houston – Toss-up
vs BYU – Loss
@ Colorado – Loss
vs Iowa State – Loss
@ UCF – Toss-up

You think he wants to come back for a rebuild after the way last year went and the way this year is going? Next year’s team will likely be worse than this year’s team.

He has said he doesn’t see himself coaching into his late 60s. He turns 65 next month. Odds are, he’s not coming back.

The announcement that Scalley was named HC in waiting (again) combined with Whittingham making comments in the last year about getting close to retirement and how he has missed too much time with his family – specifically with grandkids.

I believe the years on his contract were put there so as to not hurt recruiting.

I don’t know when he is r…[Read more]
