The Utah 2011 Football Thread

[LA Ute]

Totally gutted at running back, new offensive system, injured starting QB missing spring practice, very limited experienced at backup QB, big holes to fill in defensive secondary. I'm selling.

Is Miller equally negative in his assessments of the other schools?

The link to his blog is in my post. Read it yourself, you lazy bum. Besides, I hate you.

I didn't know Blechen moved to LB. How do you Utes feel about that? That guy was a homerun or strikeout at SS.

In Kyle I trust. We have three more years of Blechen. Strikeout. Ha!

I think he'll make a good LBer if he takes better angles than he did as a SS.

Also taking some snaps at QB. Go figure.

That should concern you more than him switching to LB. Yikes.

Oh shit, same package, different name. The Blechen package.

Are the Spring games well attended up here? Both Utah and YBU?

I imagine that Utah's spring game will have a great buzz about it with the move to the PAC as well as the arrival of NoCho.

College football can't get here soon enough.

No clue about Utahs. But BYUs has been getting 15-20k the past few years. (Considering they do not have a traditional spring game but an open practice I would say those are impressive numbers).

You are preaching to the choir.

Although, I've been told it's in very, very limited reps.

The dude has potential at safety or LB. He needs to improve greatly at safety if he stays there and if he moves to LB, he will need all the reps he can get.

I think he's way overhyped at this point in his career, FWIW. He shows promise, but he was constantly out of position last season. Some slack should be cut as he was a true freshman.

I agree on his potential. He has shown that he is a playmaker that is for sure. That Air Force game was brutal to watch that poor kid was getting picked on over and over again. But then all is forgot as he makes the two most crucial plays of the game at the end.

I don't recall how many showed up last year for Utah's.

I think there was great debate about whether it was the 500 tha Lya Wodraska reported and BYU fans adopted or if it was the 10K that appeared to be there. Or, the 15K that zoots would want some to believe.

I was there. I'd say it was 8-10K last year.

You were at BYU's Spring game?

why?

[LA Coug]

I was there too and agree.

for some reason this is hilarious to me that attendance at spring practice is being discussed..... I guess I don't see the relevance

[Blueintheface]

My greatest spring game moment was asking the guy next to me who would replace "The General" (Cam Jenson for the uninitiated) at MLB. He just shrugged his shoulders and laughed. It was at that moment I realized I was talking to Cam.

Because your doppleganger does, that's why.
