    Already looking forward to it, my friend!

      No, just that Anae was a line coach as well

        Any rumors on who the new OC will be?

          I noticed on the Ute board that Utah led the PAC-12 in turnover margin last season. A surprising stat. Ted Miller has some interesting stuff on TOs.

                        Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

                            Bruce Feldman, CBS Sports:

                            From @rkdavidson13 What Pac12 team(s) could surprise and win division and/or conference?

                            I'll be stunned if anyone other than USC and Oregon win their divisions. Both should be overwhelming favorites given who they have returning and who everyone else has back.

                            My sleeper pick in the Pac-12 would be Utah: The Utes should have a salty D-line, led by the outstanding Star Lotulelei (if you haven't heard about him, get used to hearing the name) and getting QB Jordan Wynn finally healthy after battling shoulder problems the past year will make a big difference. They also have slick RB John White, one of the more dynamic backs in the country. Behind White, they have some really physical backs who should complement him very nicely.

                            It remains to be seen how well new OC Brian Johnson, the 25-year-old former Utah QB, will do taking over for Norm Chow, but if Kyle Whittingham is sold on him to flip the keys to him at this stage, that says a lot. And Johnson does have a lot of weapons to work with.

                            The Utes schedule also sets up pretty well. They don't have to face Oregon or Stanford, who are probably two of the best three teams in the league. They get USC at home. They also get BYU at home. I think they have an outside shot to win 10 games and nine wins seems realistic. If USC wasn't so loaded -- and experienced -- Utah would be more viable to be a BCS bowl darkhorse pick.

                                How much are your season tickets? Ours are $500 each + per seat donation this year.

                                Also congrats on being in the top 10 Utes. This little graphic was inserted with the propaganda in the renew email.
