Joe Williams' heart wasn't in it. Just watch his plays. You can kind of tell. Especially when compared to last year.

He said he was thinking about it the last 2-3 months, still came as a bit of a surprise to me. Thankfully we have strong RB depth.

Butler-Byrd is back in action this week

I don't know what happened to Caleb Repp but apparently he hasn't been suiting up, hopefully nothing too serious

It sounds like the coaches feel that they have enough WR's and have given Repp a year to put on weight and become a TE. So, in other words, he is redshirting.

Utes are looking pathetic so far.

Slow start but coming along nicely now, the OLine is still a concern.

 

[Joe Bagadonuts]

Yep, Utes looked terrible in the first quarter but they sure turned it on after that (both offense and defense). The defense gave up a big gain in the fourth but saved the touchdown, then pulled off three plays for loss in a row (two sacks) and took SJS out of field goal position. Impressive. And Patrick had the best game I've ever seen him have.

Williams with another pick in the red zone. I love that three headed monster at rb though

Anyone else surprised the Utes don't seem to have any sort of running package for Williams at qb? This would do more to open up the running game and add another dimension for defenses to worry about.

I'm not all that surprised. They wanted a pocket passer for 4 years, now they have one it's not so far fetched that they want to move as far from the Travis Wilson offense as possible early on. They may add that back in later on.

That seems dumb to me. Let's not let our duel threat qb run, because that's what Travis Wilson did. What the hell??

Well the other side and another reason is that they have 2 scholarship QB's and the backup is 18 years old. Why get the only guy with real experience hurt running him like a RB?
.
I was guessing with the 1st reason and it might have some impact on the decision. But this is probably the real reason.

I hope that isn't the reason. Injuries are part of the game and will happen if it happens, but to completely ignore it is stupid regardless. Limit it sure but to completely throw it out seems like a weak move and handcuffing your offense some.

It's not a bad strategy to save this sort of thing for when you really need it, and the argument about avoiding injury is a good one. Saying that injuries are part of the game and therefore you shouldn't take precautions with your starting quarterback makes no sense.
