Utes 2011 Football Discussion

considering how many times we shot ourselves in the foot the score should've been 54-10. Washington's offense is legit, our defense was good enough to keep it close through 1st half.

i will try and stay positive, although i'm now convinced that the QB issue will remain throughout the season, we played good 1st half but made some uncharacteristic turnovers that killed us. I mean a fumble on opening kickoff? That is reserved for teams like New Mexico, not for Kyle Whittingham coached team.

Don't forget the dumb personal fouls that would have otherwise turned into Washington punting rather than giving them 1st downs on 3rd and long. Ultimately that drive lead to the FG that ended the half. We gave them 10 points with the opening kickoff fumble and those personal fouls .

Judging from Whittingham's comments on Red Zone, it looks like Hays will be the guy next week
 
So when do the Utes come off their bye week? j/k

So Wynn did get hurt, the people who ruined the game for me made me think he got pulled for playing poorly. I saw most of the first half and I was recording but before I could watch the 2nd half somebody ruined the game for me and when I saw the blow out score I thought it wouldn't be worth watching.

Guess it's time to go check the box scores and start checking for other updates.

Wynn played well. He threw the ball downfield and the offense moved well with him running the show. He did throw one interception (in the red zone, grrr) but overall he played very well.
 
I might be nuts but I thought Hays looked pretty good. Granted, it was against a bad pass defense that allowed him to make the throws he was getting late in the game, but I have a tough time believing that he could be worse than Wynn in the USC game. AND you can realistically expect Hays to make some real progress. And as it all pertains to winning the division, the Utes are still fine in the race.

The biggest concern I have with the QB sitch is... what happens if Hays goes down?

Yeah I saw that INT in the first half that was part of back to back TO's inside the 5yrd line (other one being Dres's fumble), sad thing is if he would've floated that ball high like he's prone to do it likely ends up to TD.

I personally think he just didn't see the safety sitting there. That ball was straight to him.

I am curious to see what Hays will do after a full week of practicing as the starter. If he can develop some timing (and accuracy) then his running ability will be nice.
 
Why not start Shreve? He is a freshman and the experience would be valuable.

Hays is a JC Transfer (Junior) along with Wynn. If Wynn is out for the year or an extended period, Shreve's experience would be worth more for next year and beyond.

Judging from this video, Hays can make the throws given the time and he was actually hand picked by Chow i believe

Let's give the guy a shot

If something happens to him or he doesn't work out than we turn to Shreve
