Anyone have an update on Wilson?

The season changes completely if he's out for an extended period of time. Kendall, bless his heart, just isn't a d1 QB. He's a d1 athlete. But not QB.

Mark Webber, the former oline coach of Byu, is single handedly destroying that program.

Under webber BYU's oline took a nose dive. He was awful. He was the oline coach during those dark Heaps/Riley Nelson years. He was one person who was flat out fired by Bronco a few years back. I have no idea why Wells hired him. He's an awful coach. If wells doesn't replace him and fast, wells might be the one looking for a new job.

As long as your oline can't block, your team will always sputter.

He probably isn't helping things. To be fair to Wells and Co though....Weber does have a long coaching resume that on paper would stand out in the search probably in comparison to other OL coaching candidates. But I remember how happy BYU fans were when he was no longer with the team, so that's never a good sign.

I'd be curious to know how these college coaching position searches go. A lot are based on previous connections. And I know they open up the application process a lot of the times like they would for any other job at the Universities, but there's been a lot of times when local teams hire somebody that's hopped around from team to team......where I'm like.....why didn't they didn't just hire this high school guy or something. Like Joe Wong. Or Tony McGeary. Dave Peck. Those types of guys. Maybe they wouldn't want the job for whatever reason even if it were more lucrative, but I think there are a lot of guys like that out there that could coach any position in college even if that wasn't their specific coaching duty in high school, if that's where they needed to start out from, a lot better than some of these old timers. Just because they are good coaches.

Last Night I thought: I wonder how Covey would handle QB(having played that POS in HS)? That dude is an itty bitty football god. That game was ugly for both teams except for Covey.

Seriously every article I read about byu I go to the comments section at the bottom and find ute fans making comments.

I saw a post on Facebook about how Utah was in the top 25 and I'm was going to post congrats and that they deserve it and as I'm reading the comments I see a comment from a ute fan saying how byu sucks and didn't deserve to beat Nebraska and they were lucky..... This comment in a story about utah being in the top 25 with no mention of byu anywhere.

Then you see jazz fanz posters that are ute fans that never even post on jazz fanz except to discuss byu in a negative way.

It really is strange

This goes both ways. BYU fans do the same thing.
.
Honestly I still vote for BYU to lose every game. But I don't feel anywhere near as strongly about that as I once did. To me the rivalry started dying when they were no longer in the same conference. It will take a long time but the end game of this rivalry is going to be exactly what USU now means to Utah. USU gives everything for that game and to Utah it's just another non-conference game against a team they are expected to beat. If BYU gets into a P5 conference that may change back. But if they get into a P5 conference they may stop playing all together.

I agree. If Wilson is out for an extended period of time I expect Chase Hansen to become the starting QB. Thompson looked terrible throwing the ball. All he has is a bomb and his feet. Can't hit crossing routes or out routes on time or on target. Almost every pass he made last night was poorly thrown. Maybe if he gets the snaps as the starter the timing will get better but he should have been picked off 3 times last night.

Sounds like Utah dodged a bullet and Wilson is only expected to miss one game with a shoulder sprain. Utah can beat Fresno with Thompson, but they shouldn't try. Perfect time to put in Hansen and give him some starting experience. I doubt Whitt does it though.

I already know what Thompson can do. I honestly wouldn't mind seeing Chase Hansen. Is he much better than Thompson? Probably not. From what I gather his passing is about the same right now. But I'm willing to give him a shot.

Thompson is basically worthless right now. Why? Utah's WR core is weak this year. Thompson does throw a decent bomb. But without a speedster, how often can the bomb be thrown? Scott and Covey aren't deep threats. No Dres no bombs!

Michigan turning the game against OSU into a route early in the 4th. I realize Gary Anderson's team wasn't supposed to be great this season but what I am seeing is making me feel a little bit better about Utah's win over The Harbaugh's.

I guess. But playing at rice is different than playing in the big house, no?

Obviously it is. After they played Utah, I felt that the Michigan front 7 was absolutely legit and was going to give everybody they faced major problems. I also felt like they'd be able to mount a decent rushing attack against other teams. Today was only one game, but it was nice to see those thoughts seem to be on point thus far. I was just pointing that out.

If they keep improving each week, Michigan and Harbaugh could go on quite the run in his first season. The next month of the schedule is extremely winnable for UM.
