You’re right.

Utah is 2 for 2 when playing for P4 conference championships with Cam Rising at QB.

Utah is 0 for 12 when playing for P4 conference championships without Cam Rising at QB.

The solution is simple. If we want to win a conference championship, we need Cam Rising at QB.

Win now is typically any program’s goal. A coach doesn’t have time and tolerance on his side.

Add to this taking the next step of CFP, the small and fleeting window of P2 opportunity and talent and experience on both sides of the ball, we have been in win now mode ever since that 2nd Rose Bowl.

Cam Rising gave us the best chance to win and max…[Read more]

Being cleared to play and throwing the ball effectively are two different things.

You think the doctors are opining on Cam’s velocity and spin rate?

Stop fixating on doctor clearance as if it’s the end all, be all. It isn’t in this case.

We have been literally armchair quarterbacking Cam Rising like we are capable of throwing a football to ti…[Read more]

My info was index finger and I shared in a post here. My info was wrong.

This^ has been and will continue to be my position on this going back to 2023 till now.

Everyone is toeing Whitt’s company line.

Indeed

Drake Troll is a hack and Utah hater.

Even if there’s a shred of truth to anything he says about us, he has no credibility.

I don’t click, I don’t listen.

No humble brag intended here, just want to second your comment with this. I told my son before the game we would have to score more than 24 to beat Zona.

Overall Defense did its part.

Burning 20 minutes and 3 precious possessions with 3 points to show for it, that’s where we lost this game. It’s how we got behind in the score and imbalanced and…[Read more]

@Jim, it wasn’t having a big back in TT that made us red zone elite for 1 season (yes, just 1 season). It was TT’s elite vision combined with a really good OL.

Yes, TT was big, but he was 4.8 slow and mediocre after contact, not nearly as physical a runner as his size suggested. His height played a part, he ran pads high. But, TT could see the…[Read more]

You want a bruising back that gets 2-3 yards every time?

This fanbase fascination with Armand Shyne just keeps on going.

Did you assume we’d be 4-1 with Cam or with a FR QB?

I think if we adjusted our expectations to the latter we would be good with our current position.

The future on the other hand…coaches have to be better, we need a smart Cam Rising back, we need Reid back, some luck at RB and a fire in the belly week in/week out.

If not, plates of crow for…[Read more]

I agree Central, Isaac uses WR more than Cam.

Let me say I have Cam as my Utah QB GOAT and posted this here with mixed response. This is because he wins conference championships, 2 for 2 when he plays a full season.

IMO he is a great leader and a great competitor. He is not a great QB. He doesn’t have arm talent, at least not since the s…[Read more]

Every RB, college and NFL is running hurt in September and throughout the season. It goes with the position. So, that in no way says MB is less durable or injury prone (see label slapped on JJ last year).

For the record, if the goal is season long activity and career longevity, I don’t think any RB should be getting 25 carries a game. What I t…[Read more]

What has surprised people about MB is his durability and workhorse capability.

The narrative, which I never believed, was MB couldn’t carry a full workload. Whitt was saying just last week MB is not a 25 carry a game guy. Well, Coach…

MB has done everything asked of him, reduced and specialty roles, bigger roles, offense, defense and special tea…[Read more]

And the scheme should have been fit to NJ strengths. Instead Ludwig forced him to stay in and play from the pocket.

It probably had something to do with NJ fumbles/ball security and our coaches’ risk aversion, but they never let that peacock fly (translation RPO with NJ given the green light to keep and run or keep and throw).

Barnes is a one read QB.

Keep Becker left of the right hash and he’s fine.

Unfortunately since the injury Cam is laterally slow. He’s okay straight ahead.

Isaac is much more of a threat to break big runs.

This is even more reason Cam should just throw the ball away. He has to adjust his game.
