Official UofU homer thread

I didn't post this last night because I figured it was the emotion talking and in that emotion I deleted the game so I can't double check today but is it just me or did all 3 of Cameron Smith's INT's happen at almost the exact same area (within maybe a yard or so) a 4 to 5'ish yard route and just a yard or two outside side of the offensive tackle area. To me they all also looked like that was the design of the play and not just the last option check down, still doesn't matter because Wilson should've never thrown the ball just frustrating that 3 different players on the 3 different routes all designed to end up at around the same depth and area on the field. Anyway I could go on but it's just me being frustrated I'm sure.


I'm hoping the players, coaches and just as a team overall can grow and learn from this game and from their mistakes, so they can move forward, become stronger, better and improve overall individually and as a team. Can I get a FAMILY on 3!

That's why I'm not worried going forward, doesn't mean I'm not wrong or it can't happen but I think this team is behind that mantra and is a "family" and will stick together.
 
^ the usc lb made good reads, but you are right they were around the same area, with wilson staring down the receiver those were predictable passes. The passing game is still unreliable and has been all season, we've just been able to get away with it up until this point thanks to strong defensive play and wilson not making dumb throws. guess it was inevitable at some point wilson's poor decision he's shown through the years would show up. think it's the coordinator's job to recognize when your qb is out of sorts, we should have ran the ball a helluva lot more against usc in the 1st half. we put it on wilson to make the play and it cost us.

Dropped to 13 & 14 in the polls which sounds about right. still every week utah will have to grind games out because that's what we do. We should still be favorite to win the south but at this point gotta figure Stanford is the favorite to win the pac-12 championship, their offense looks way better than it was last year. our offense still has issues.
 
How is it possible that the Utes still haven't found a replacement for Brian Johnson?

How do you out recruit BYU at ever position but the most important one?

Could you imagine how good you'd be if you had Taysom's freshmen backup? It's sad when BYU's 2nd string QB is 100x better than your 4th year starting senior.

What's the solution? Fire Roddick's and hire yet another OC?

You mean the QB that threw for 55 yards against Michigan?


BYU and Utah both have bad QB's. BYU's just has no pressure and plays against mediocre defenses most of the season.
 
Cam Smith was so bad in coverage in previous games that I didn't even bother mentioning him in that paragraph or so I wrote on SC's D in the topic because I still considered him a net weakness. Travis Wilson aside, I'm still in shock by how well he covered his portion of the field in that game.

It wasn't just Wilson. Utah called a bad game offensively. They abandoned what had gotten them here from the get go and then there was no going back. Defensively the early pressure was a good call. They could have deflated USC if they would have stuck to their offensive schemes. Everybody was trying to strut their stuff and show off, that is not what I expected. Tonight is on KW, first and foremost.

I've said this 100 times since Saturday. This, this, this.

Utah went away from what made them successful. They quit running the ball.

If you ask Wilson to throw it 35+ times, you will lose more than win. That isn't his game. He isn't all pro, but he isn't bad either. You just need to put him in positions to succeed. This game is on the OC. They tried to get too cute.

Reality:

Utah is all alone at the top of the south division.

Utah's schedule is much easier from here on out than it was before.

Utah still has a great defense and will play a lot of suspect defenses going forward.

Utah controls their own destiny.

This loss changed nothing.

Sure, but It's weird to negate your best weapon(Booker) while simultaneously showing off your QB's greatest weakness. The coaching staff deserves a lot of the blame. They too get hyper analyzed. That's just how it is.

The coaching staff called this game like they were a MWC team playing a P5 team. They tried to get too cute. A "giant" as Whitt likes to call Utah, would have lined up and ran the ball down USC's throat. Come the third quarter, we would have started breaking off bigger runs and crushed them.

I still think if we would have ran the ball 40-50 times, we win and win easily.
