    According to Utahs latest depth chart John White is the 1st team RB, followed by Vakapuna and Lucky Radley is third. Langi and Palamo are nowhere to be found.

    Then again that same depth chart (released by the school) has Luke Matthews as the starting fullback. A position that he has yet to play during spring or fall camp.
    I think that Fullback is going to be a mix of players that are mostly used as an H back would. I predict we will see Vakapauna in the backfield with White when we are in the power I or splitback set. Murphy, Matthews will be used more on passing downs, IMO.

          O.C. and Jan have just put to rest last week's speculation that Wynn might not be healthy.
          Gunther tweets from Saturday:

          "Ute practice report from last night: J Wynn hit 6 straight completions in the team reps versus the #1 defense. Nice zip on the ball. . . ."

          "Wynn's decision making looked quick and well executed. Then after 6 great throws in came the backup QBs."

          Gen. Burkhalter: "Klink, I am a staff officer."
          Col. Klink: "I didn't mean you sir, you're not clever."

              Amen.

              The season cannot get here quickly enough.

              This preseason for Ute fans his fraught with uncertainty. To use a nerdy analogy: the Utes' equation for success this season has too many variables and not enough constants to make an attempt at an informed prediction. Rather, I get a feeling that we (most of us fans) are all SWAGging.

              Conference realignment, depth/injury/inexperience at key positions, and coaching/system changes (Chow) all in the same season, have my head spinning in terms of establishing and trusting my own "gut feeling" for the success of this season, and rather than attempt to guess, I would prefer to get some results in order to do some empirical analysis.

              As such, I am leaning harder on the opinions of others for discerning talent and putting predictions in perspective.

              So please post frequently JiC and HL.

                        WTF is with his hair? I'm tired of it. It was funny for a practice or two. This is almost as weird as Riley Nelson's hair/midriff combo. At least Nelson is backup.

                        I'm looking forward to a time when Wynn has reasonable hair and no mexi-stache.

                            What? Are you promoting BYU dress and grooming standards for Utah athletes?

                            Appropriate for Men
                            • Slacks, jeans, sweaters, and sport or dress shirts with sleeves
                            • Clothing which cover the knee.
                            • Neat hairstyles, trimmed above the collar and leaving the ears uncovered
                            • If worn, neat mustaches which do not extend beyond or below the corners of the mouth
                            • Clean-shaven appearance, modest sideburns
                            • Footwear worn in all public places
                            • Men must wear shirts at all times


                            Inappropriate for Men
                            • Any sleeveless clothing and clothing that exposes the underarm and waistline
                            • Earrings or excessive jewelry
                            • Beards or noticeable (grubby) facial hair
                            • Body piercing and visible tattoos
                            • Patched, faded, frayed or torn clothing
                            • Bandanas
                            • Any athletic shorts or sweats


                            I think Wynn's 'stache would pass at BYU, unless someone decides it is grubby.
