i am on board with Frost although not 100% he feels the same way about coming here. If we dont get him and start over then I absolutely love the idea of Kyle WIttingham. I was telling anyone that would listen we need to think seriously about hiring him but then we went and found Mr Rogers. Utah plays defense like we all want to see here. They are physical! Wittingham has fire and seems like a no non sense guy. I mean so did Pelini but this is a bit more tasteful I believe. The perfect balance if you will. However, not sure Wittingham would leave Utah. That said, I think he gets as much out of them as possible and not sure he will ever get them into a consistent mix of contending for pac 12 titles. May have maxed out there. But i guess who could say he would do better here. IDK i just really like watching Utah play. ALmost beat USC last night (cant believe they went for 2). So USC out recruits the shiznit out of Utah but at least they competed with them, right? THats what we're looking for right?

I agree, especially when it comes to Wilbon, cuz that kid looks to have some skills (so does Newby). The only thing I don't necessarily agree with is that Reilly will be a threat with the long ball over DPE and Morgan. That said, we know B. Reilly gets plenty of yards his own way

I can promise you one thing...Riley and the boys are coaching those freshman DB's hard to get better

That's been a complaint for years. Well than lets hope Riley and Stewart can get it fixed because wow that's gonna be brutal throughout the year if they don't

Dude's got heart. gotta give him that

mmhmm

You hit the nail on the head. With Beck, we were big or bust. No in between. Personally, I prefer a grinding drive that eats clock and keeps their O off the field. Agree with the other posters. I think it was by design as we could go yard if needed, but the approach was working. I would also like to think that Riley and his experience maybe actually use games like this to experiment a little to see what works and doesn't in real games. Something I would never credit the previous staff with. Agreed it was nice to see, but its a bit easier to string drives together on South Alabama. At some point Tommy is gonna have to find a deep ball receiver to hook up with now that Kenny is gone. That said, DPE is obviously that dude and he's on the bench...so we will just have to wait.

Gee, I wonder how many times Boise St watched our game film with BYU?!?!

hahahaha

atta boy Fyfe

Boy oh boy I agree. Its South Alabama everyone. Lets not forget how poorly he looked after the scripted plays in quarter 1 last week.

Good chance at least one will. Probably both

i wanna see some Wilbooooonnnnn!

Bo was constantly on Davies a$$. Not good enough for a senior. But I guess he is Bo's recruit so that explains it.

Per Sam McKewon, this is not accurate. The Deadspin transcript said one thing, the OWH transcript said another. Given that the OWH actually had a tape, listened to it, and are making this point, I would go with them. It is very interesting, though, the idea that Bo wishes Shawn had been more involved in his life. Maybe told him what to do a little more. Yeah, I can see how that would have gone over so well with Bo. What staggers me is that Bo could have so easily taken the high road. Not just because it's the class thing to do. Want to make the university look bad? Be a saint. Exit the right way. Let your players be the guys about whom people will say, "The next coach just won with Bo's recruits" by giving them the best possible messages. Be above any possible reproach. But goodness. He can't help himself. Maybe Bo doesn't want the recruits to be successful under Riley. Maybe he wants them to fail in a sense so as to not shed any further light on how incapable he is/was to win at least a conference championship with his own recruits. Im not saying I necessarily believe this but rather see it as a possibility.

What about Kyle Whittingham?? He has done a really nice job with the Utes, especially the defense. He seems like he would bring a nice toughness to the HC position. Turned down Tennessee in 2010.

I would be shocked if Michigan went to BWW bowl over us as SB nation article suggests. If the bowl committee wants to see a seriously great turnout they would stick us in the BWW against Texas. Im gonna go out on a limb and say that would be considered a much watch for a whole lot of people. If anything we should go to the gator bowl over the texas bowl and a possible rematch against Georgia. Do the bowls go off conference record or overall record? I guess that would make a difference because we would lose head to head with Minnesota but then again its not like these bowls are absolutely bound to an exact spot the teams finished. Nebraska will travel better than Minny.

This. OMG this!!!

Bottom line is Taylor and our receiving crew are all very marginal at best and wildly inconsistent. Our receivers are not nfl talent! Bell shows flashes of being an excellent playmaker but is not consistent whatsoever. Those dropped passes could have been caught, yes, but the throw from the quarterback is no where near good enough to catch them on as regular of basis as we need to be a top tier team.

yep ameer was rolling on the edges and we still seemed to want tmart to throw the darn ball. I mean seriously what gives. he is highly ineffective at throwing the football. our running game is where its at. receivers cant catch the ball even when it is on target

hc: bobby petrino oc: scott frost dc: leslie frazier -- not a great head coach but was a good dc for vikings
