Official Utah Utes Football 2012 Thread

[SaltyDawg]

This debate is getting bogged down in semantics. The bottom line is still this: When Utah finally has Pac 12 quality QB's, and Pac 12 talent and depth at all the O line spots, they will compete at a quality level. Until that day comes, they will struggle.

Obviously anyone can win if they have enough talent. My argument is that we had enough talent for a .500 (or better) team this year. If Whit was good enough to be above criticism, he would have taken this team to a bowl game.

If, for example, we had Boise State's coaching staff, I have no doubt this team goes to a bowl game this year.

Besides, after 2.5 recruiting classes, we still lack talent? When do we start holding coaches accountable for not recruiting the talent we need?

[CONAN]

You have to be .500 to make a bowl game, so it was the same argument.

So why move away from that then? Just trying to keep things fresh I guess. lol

Mrs Swenson, 7th Grade.

I'm forever grateful.

Actually, there might be a special place in hell for her as well.

[CONAN]

It looks like everyone is at least coming around to acknowledging the lack of Pac12 talent on for the Utes. Now to figure out why that is. Most of that is on the coaches.

Start the Utah 2013 thread now.

This.

Good hell, Salty. Give it a rest. You're never going to convince someone of something when their whole reason for being in the thread in the first place is just to tweak you and piss you off. Don't feed the trolls.

And for the jealous BYU troll brigade... Poop on you.

They looked solid. Not that BYU is anything special this year, but Utah is clearly at stage 2 in the rebuilding process now. Stage 1 was to clear out the junk. Check. Stage 2 is to establish a culture/system and get guys to buy into. They played solid team basketball and ran some good defensive schemes so it looks like that is going well for them. Stage 3 is to get bigger talents on campus to amplify that new culture/system. Loveridge is a nice start, he'll probably end up a pretty solid D-1 player, but they need a few more high caliber guys. Not too bad, they could be good consistently again in a few years.

Joe Kruger leaving early? Is it just me, or is anybody else wondering what he's smoking?

[CONAN]

After the game Paul had yesterday the Kruger name is front-running.

Yeah I heard it on Friday I think, was very disappointed he was leaving, he didn't have a bad year but didn't live up to expectations (partly due to injury) and maybe that's the reason why he decided to leave, didn't want to risk injury.

I worry that he'll end up like Sealver Siliga 2yrs ago who surprisingly left early and went undrafted (currently on the Broncos roster).
