Utes 2011 Football Discussion

I disagree about the QB position next year. I think it actually looks pretty good next year. You will have Wynn back, hopefully 100% healthy. When healthy, Wynn is a very good QB. Not a world beater, neither was Brian Johnson, and Wynn's defense is at least as good as Johnson's. As backups you will have Hays, with a lot of experience at that point, Shreve as a Redshirt Freshman and hopefully Travis Wilson keeps his commitment. That is depth. Nothing amazing, but Wynn is good enough to not lose games ala Hays, and Wynn can even carry the team at times (see last drive of the first half against BYU and the 4th quarter against USC.).

The QB position isn't great, but headed in the right direction. If Wilson keeps his commitment, we will have very good to great QB's for the next 6-8 years (Wilson then Hansen). They just need to keep building and adding to the talent.

I'm not going to trash Wynn because I'm more than willing to admit that once he went out, Utah looked leaps and bounds worse. However, I still doubt that even a healthy Wynn can give Utah a really great season next season next year.

In the MWC, Wynn is a top 3 QB. In the PAC12, he is bottom third.

I am confident that Whitt will address the QB issue.

I wouldn't worry too much. The QB situation will take care of itself by virtue of being in the Pac12. At the most 2-3 years and Utah will be fine at QB.

Just like UCLA has been.

My point is, even in the Pac12 you can screw up your QB situation.

Ya, but most times it's not going to be because of lack of talent.

I think Utah's defense will be what determines how great next season will be. All Wynn will have to do is not lose games, and maybe, maybe pull out a dream season drive once or twice.

That being said, who cares? This year has been a lot of fun!

Especially when you take BYU's cast offs.

I see your point, sort of. Ben did dis BYU and chose UCLA after the mission, so technically he's not a castoff.

Are BYU fans still bitter at Ben Olsen for bolting to UCLA?

If so, they would do well to remember just how they acquired Riley Nelsen's services.

You might want to re-take your undergrad english classes, yes, all of them.

There was not bitterness from Scat, and none from me.
We were just discussing the nuances of Ben's departure from BYU.

Why don't you get out of my thread, and go back to the BYU to the Big 12 thread. TIA
