As a BYU fan, welcome to the Big 12. We got our welcome last year and our record showed it. The challenges of this year will prove beneficial for the Utes next year after your initial welcome. Don't get down, the Utes will be awesome next year. We look forward to seeing you in basketball in the next few months.
@@dfausti66 this feels different tho. BYU was actually playing G5 schools every year before the big 12, so it makes sense that they'd need to adjust. We were already used to playing juggernauts like Oregon and USC, we should not be playing this bad😭
@@bnelson_mtb In the season when BYU last played Utah, BYU "won" the PAC 12. BYU's first string was on par with most Power 5 programs', but it lacked depth so injuries to key players resulted in losses. Now, there's a chance to go the playoff. Getting into the playoff will attract more talent. Having a bigger pool of NIL money doesn't hurt either.
Byu has been beat down by utah every year and have won once in over two decades, utahs beaten them the other 20 times for two freeking decades, so slow down... the pac 12 was a waaay stronger conference than this one and utah won it the last two years, and were picked to win it for a reason , they're defense is literally right now ranked first in the big 12, have the best o line, great running back and the best roster... their qb got hurt and they're playing a true freshman who is not good enough to play college football yet, not for southern utah let alone utah, And EVERY TEAM IN THE COUNTRY WOULD LOSE IF THEY HAD WILSON AT QB RIGHT NOW, if they had a mediocre to avg qb they'd probably win the Big 12, but no team could win with a qb as bad as Wilson is right now... when he's better or replaced utah will again immediately be considered this mediocre conference's best program, so slow down on your utah catching up to byu take when they beat them annually for two decades now... and that the conference is just so tuff when utah won the last two in a way better conference than this mediocre big 12...
@@rhonecherrington2131 real powerhouse teams don't completely fall apart when they're starting qb goes down. just take a slice of humble pie so we quit getting bullied on twitter
@@bnelson_mtblol BYU was scheduling and beating p5 schools in the years prior to joining the Big 12. Hence why they earned a spot here. Good luck getting your train back on the track.
The defense gave up 13 points. I don”t care if they started slow. This isn’t a defense problem. If the offense can’t score 14 points at home that is pathetic. The defense has kept Utah is every game.
I mean it was kind of like watching a Jets game the past few years 😂
Thus is how it felt as a BYU fan last year
At least BYU was getting blown out every game lol.... at this point it would be better for us to be blown out bc I feel so bad for our defense playing like that just for offense to stink
BYU was not blown out by Oklahoma and OK state.
@@bnelson_mtbIt feels like BYU is our Big Brother… Again! We squandered our PAC 12 gift and now we’re probably going to regret our toxic behavior. Anyway, GO UTES‼️
@@theoptimist9605 College Football fans should be humble and realistic. It's good to see that more Ute fans are being realistic and less delusional. Respect
We feel your pain. Congrats on having a good team and fun year. I hope we can give you guys at least an entertaining game.
The teams from the former Pac12 conference are currently a combined 16 wins and 24 losses in the Big12, Big10, ACC.
Half those Ws/Ls have come from former pac12 schools playing eachother and we shouldn’t add Cal/Stanford because teams who travel 3 time zones lose 75% of there games and they decided to join a conference across the country that’s on them lmao. All I care about is seeing USC/UCLA suffer if I’m being honest with you lmao
Oregon is helping out the rest of the sucky teams.
@@gregjross852 A losing record for pac12 teams is unaffected by two pac12 teams playing each other because it will always result in 1 win and 1 loss. The losing record for those teams comes from playing non-pac12 teams.
That stat doesn’t include the Washington State and Oregon State (2 worst PAC 12 teams) historically. PAC 12 was the least talented P5 conference. Fact by stats
@@davidbanner5779 I left them out because they aren't playing football in a conference this year
So much for B12 domination
Coug fan here. Sorry guys. It sucks to be struggling. Been there. The rivalry will always be a good game; I think?
Wow so much more wholesome than the other BYU fan comments on here lol
@@BDEntertainment423I wish we hadn’t made toxic and delusional comments about BYU for a decade. We squandered our PAC 12 gift and now it feels like our Big Bro in Provo is about to make us pay for our bad behavior (basketball season might be even more painful for us). GO UTES‼️
@@theoptimist9605 Forgiven! Good attitude. Hope it spreads. Hubris has no place in a sport with increasing parity.
@@theoptimist9605 There's no way you are Utah fan saying BYU is our big bro😂 this is a troll account
@@bnelson_mtbas a BYU fan, Pretty sure you’re right
It can be hard living here at the truckstop
We gave $$$$ to Cam. This is who we don't have from last year. Vaki, Ellis, Vele, Jackson, Bishop. Maybe we could have spent Risings $$$ different. Kyle's lost this team.
We have to blow the whole thing up. If whit decides to retire then it is what it is but he still is the guy of the future if he decides to stay. Honestly I hate that scalley has been named the head coach. The game is built for offense and we have to adapt to that. We have 3 and 4 stars everywhere and we can’t score more than 1 touchdown, that’s embarrassing. We need an offensive coach as our HC next year or whenever whit is done but if he stays, we need to bring that offensive guy in to be our OC and just promote him from there. People don’t like it but Brian Johnson should be our next head coach. Someone had to get thrown under the bus and unfortunately it was him in Philadelphia but I do believe he could take us to the next level. We as Utah fans often are too stubborn on the way “we do things” and we are going to get left in the past because of it if we don’t adapt to current times.
Agree completely
Rumblings of a broken locker room. Absolutely makes sense given how they played yesterday
Great players… not a great team
Whittingham says that they will evaluate? Here's my evaluation: Five games remaining and we will lose at least four of them.
I'll put what was so gently said on here about Ludwig more bluntly: He is myopic and obstinately predictable.
He & Whittingham are both easily out-coached. We've all seen it for the past three games in a row (almost four - OSU fighting back to within 3 points before we were saved by the bell).
The other deficiencies we all saw on the field are merely the symptoms.
Ludwig needs to go.
It doesn't matter what you dial up when your QB is the worst starter in college football. Wilson is complete garbage. He has one decent throw a game. One. The rest are too short or too long. He is absolutely painful to watch.
Some of yall don't seem to remember 2009 to 2019... when our offense was God awful.
We have a QB development issue fornsure... but just firing Andy isn't the issue... it can get a lot worse... more to it is all I'm saying... this is like Fire Whit folks in like 2014, we can't necessarily just get a better OC, it hasn't been that simple.
I’ll take whittingham as my coach, anytime, all the time. I remember Andy Reid struggling his last couple of years in Philly. They wanted him out. Said he was washed up
@staleydu1 Most fans, like most crowds in general, hv always responded to and operated on emotion. The overreacting and quick calls now to "Fire so-and-so" are a reflection of this! The fans in Tuscaloosa right now are completely unrealistic with their expectations of DeBoer. The idea that he was simply going to keep the Alabama program running along the same 1-loss a year clip is ludicrous. A coach like Saban comes along every century or so. Utah fans as well! Keep wishing for Kyle to retire or get fired morons! Thinking that it's as simple as purchasing another "Saban-type coach" on Amazon is laughable nonsense. Better realize what you hv already and, realize that it isn't always easy!
Cam on the bench smiling and having a good time while his back up was struggling and team losing to tcu.. Not a good look.
@@viccram70 cam wasn't even at the game fam
@@bnelson_mtb Really Fam? Read my comment again. 🤔
@@viccram70 he wasn't on the bench... He wasn't at Rice Eccles last night
@@bnelson_mtbdid you watch? I clearly saw him on the bench.
@@viccram70 oh maybe he was then... I didn't see him but I'll have to go back and look
What a waste of a great defense.
Kyle’s seemingly salt n pepper hair seemed to turn to grey this past week 😂
Good job guys! Arguably the lowest point under Kyle Whittingham's tenor! Never hv I ever witnessed such an atrocious level-of-play with this program. The loss to ND in 2010, after getting boat-raced by TCU the week before, is somewhat close as far as disappointment but, that team wasn't in the Pac-12/Big-12 and didn't hv the same type of talent. If this drop-off continues, we could see Kyle call it a career at year's end!
Something to keep in mind looking forward- I'm not so sure I'm comfortable with Wilson being the starter going into the 2025 season either. Still very raw with some definitive flaws! Utah's qb situation and recruiting has always been somewhat questionable!
BYU fan here. The one comment that was so true. “When was the last time you gave up fourth and two at home to seal a game for an opposing team?“That’s exactly right. It is so weird to see the Utes playing this way.
Been saying for weeks wilson aint the dude
He's a true freshman!! Why didn't KW have a better QB ready?
Wilson has certain tools and potential but, he is still far from being QB #1 for 2025 even! Even with talented freshman, you can see where they'll be after a couple years of being in the program. With Wilson, I see a qb that's going to need A LOT OF GROWTH AND COACHING to become a solid D-1 quarterback!
@@edkiely2712 You're not wrong. We need depth and never should have thought Rising would have come back just the same. Seeing him laugh it up on the sidelines should get him a seat in the booster section.
@@zscooterz Even though Utah has had Johnson and Rising under Kyle's tenor, the recruitment of quarterbacks has ALWAYS been a weak-spot for Whittingham's recruitment over-the-years, especially to the point where, their back-up qb situation has mostly been a disastrous one if the starter were to go down. Some of this history can be attributed to Kyle's "defense first" approach but, him not having at least ONE stellar qb in that time is the result of other issues. Even Brian Johnson was primarily recruited by Dan Mullen before Kyle became the HC!
@@edkiely2712 Wilson was solid too...
I think development is the issue not talent... it's always the smart ones that separate themselves.
Also Huntley was good QB too.
Ready for a coaching change.
I'm going to stop at 30 seconds into your video and answer your question about why it all went wrong: Utah is just not that good this year.
This reminds me of 2017 for BYU. You didn't recruit the QB spot smartly. The development of QB's is questionable at best and playcalling is subpar. Looking at the sideline tells you what you need to know. The team doesn't believe. As a cougar fan I've experienced it and it stinks. If I were a Ute fan, I'd be concerned with how Utah is going to keep up with the NIL and changes in college sports, it's just different now.
So sad to see mainly because the Utah fan base is so humble and respectful
@@gbrew839 Now that is funny!
What really brings down a team trying to get better coming of some great years is running onto the field at Rice Eccles Stadium only to see the stands half empty and even more empty after halftime. The is actually sickening. "Ah, I'm a huge fan, but I'm going to sit this one out, but the team better win." Even some of the MUSS left at half when they had a chance of winning up until the last five minutes. Our fans need to step it up too.
It’s a great point. Looking at the stands was shocking to me. The lack of loyalty boggles my mind. If Whit is done, good luck for the next several years. The first team to offer him a spot, even if it’s just consulting, will be the team from Provo.
@@staleydu1 yeah, he could coach the, ah, be a grad assistant or consultant like Gary Anderson.
@@zscooterz wow, I hope he leaves and Ute nation gets their just desserts
With all the skill we have in the receiving corp this year, it seems like our guys were not getting any separation. That left Wilson with no choice but to throw into tight coverage. Is there something about our passing game that is too predictable? Opposing secondaries seem to know our offense as well as we do.
The comment about the light had me rolling
JT, I’m feeling for ya chief! As an Az fan it is absolutely insane to me that both of our teams are just shit this year
Utes put all their eggs in the Cam Rising basket and it obviously didn't work out. That is going to happen to teams more and more with NIL and having to basically commit to a single player for them to stay with your program and give up on having any depth. So this year is down the toilet, but my hell Utes fans have been so spoiled for like 15 years of climbing the ladder and becoming one of the most respected and successful programs in the country - grab a beer, relax, and take a breath.
Welcome to the Big 12.
Utah is awful, Big 12 is awful
@@bnelson_mtb And you are awful...there, Triple Crown.
@bnelson_mtb nah bro, not all Big 12 sucks. Still 2 undefeated teams.
@@bnelson_mtbbecause teams you thought were bad are playing well? And Utah is playing, well, less than stellar?
@@staleydu1 I mean there are definitely a few good teams in the Big 12, but Utah hasn't played any of them yet. Let's not act like they're losing to juggernauts every week, they just have no offense. TCU gave up 30+ PPG prior to this game. The Big 12 without Texas and Oklahoma is objectively worse than the Pac-12.
No QB will succeed with the horrible offensive line. I do not care what people say our O-line is horrible they cannot protect anyone. Ludwig needs to let Wilson play in the shotgun spread offense. If not we will lose every remaining games. Offense is back to run, run and pass on 3rd down, very predictable.
MUSS WITH the horn frog you loss. Sad to see Utah crumbling apart after the huge glowing spot light of the Pre-Season.
Truly I believe the NIL is the root of the cancer of disloyalty and envy among the player’s. Human nature is not suspended because you are a Utah Ute!!!
Wishing you had a Pig Farmer now? Shouldn’t have disrespected him by waiting 4 years to give him a scholarship and act like you appreciated him.
I guessed last year, Cam would last 3-4 games before getting hurt again.
But hey, offer to pay him a couple million again and he’ll come back next year and make it another 3-4 games.
You’re not wrong
That’s all on KW and his blatant ignorance believing he could bring back a damaged, and overrated player to lead them to glory, instead of entirely cutting ties after last season.
@@Carrollavirus I’ve been saying cam is overrated since his first injury. But the blame for these losses are on the defense more than the offense. Yes we have injuries. But the defense has nothing this year.
@@DerkSpringer the defense held TCU to 13 points..... How is that a defensive issue???
@@DerkSpringeris Well, at least we know that our DC is the next HC. How stupid is that?
Could you look and play worse than you did at Az St? Yes you certainly can! We have MAYBE one more win in us this season if we’re fortunate. We’re getting our azzes kicked the rest of the season. No wonder Dunn de-committed.
Quit spending money on a 50 year old QB!! Respect the Big 12.
This is my take. Whitt has gotten lax this year. Maybe, he's left everything to the asst. coaches, thinking things will be fine. The asst. coaches also got lax, thinking Rising will manage things fine, and no plan if that picture crumbles. Wilson cant be blamed, he's a fresh faced kid just out of high school. As he matures and learns more he may be awesome, like his brother was, but his brother wasn't thrown into the fray way early like he was. Whitt gets paid 5 million a year to run things, and the problem starts at the top.
Could the problem be the doaner with the NIL money wanting to get their money’s worth. Use to if a player was not producing the coach would replace how but now but now the coach is getting pressure
Held to 13 pts there's no reason why Utah should've lost poor offense! I'm on board for Isaac but he's not going to be at the top of his game until his last 2 years ! You got to have a top QB to put up points in CFB ! Look at Oregon 1/2 team in the country they went out and got Dillon what move ! Utah is trending in the wrong direction ! I get it you got cam you don't need a QB but cam was a bust because of injuries now there banking on Isaac so its put Utah in a bad situation! Look at fafiti he's a baller at Arizona but still young there not having a good season either ! Even know it's not all on the QB it looks that way Utah! The have been almost non existent in the red zone and getting into the end zone ! Utah was projected to win big12 and make the playoffs ! To possibly not even having a winning season ! If you look at Utah most of there winning season the QB was on there last 2 years of there college stint ! Utah has been neck and neck with oregon last couple years since then Oregon made all the rite moves to become a top 5 team in the country ! Utah needs to follow suit !
Guess you should have given Wilson more reps in the summer
Who would've guessed that this year would actually be worse than last year😬
I find it interesting how a whole team can be judged by winning or losing. If you compare BYU with Utah their is one major difference
The quarterback. You have a kid just out of high school who has only 5 games under his belt. On the other hand, BYUs quarterback has had 2 years of JC experience, a full summer to evaluate what he did right and what he did wrong by playing the last 4 games of the previous season. He knows where to go when throwing the football. Unlike Wilson, he is in his comfort zone.
This is on the coaching staff. It starts with Ludwig who should be fired now!
At this juncture. I’m just hoping to make the prestigious crawdad or New Mexico bowl, perhaps even the Tony the Tiger bowl.
This is what happens when you come into a new conference with zero respect and think nobodies gonna touch you. You end up as the bottom 3 of said conference and your big brother ends up running the conference. Your guys attitude has restored order in the world thank you 😂
Is this what happened because "zero respect" or is it because they lost their QB. Either one I guess
@@mooseclampsHubris.
@@mooseclampswhatever is wrong very clearly goes far beyond simply losing Rising.
Better to be humble and celebrate your success
This is a Utah football fan podcast with only 521 views and you, a BYU fan, purposefully seek it out just to leave a hate comment😂 dude are you serious? And you talk about respect...
I guess I only watch Utah in Rose bowls and big games but they looked like this many many games in recent years.
We’re a garbage football team…plain and simple.
This is 4th or 5th season in a row relying on an injury prone QB without suitable backups ready. Couple that with poor WR recruiting, and the definition of mediocrity at OC. This is on Whitt. I don't think Scalley will be answer either.
Be patient, you are in a new conference. It just takes time to adjust.
Has nothing to do with the conference ... They are just an awful football team
What an asinine comment.
Being in a new conference has absolute zero with taking time for adjusting.
KW already has an established team, but has failed immensely with his incompetent coaching, it’s not like they are in rebuild mode.
I’ve been saying this team is bad all year, and other Utah fans have only had excuses. We SUCK
Worst team in the big 12
Witt is starting to look like Biden on the sidelines. Open mouth, confused, looking around to see who is actually in charge.
Kyle will get it fixed. Problem is that it won’t be fixed this year. We are going to struggle to get to a bowl game.
And you said we’re going g to win!!!!! Utah will lose all their games this year! Ludwig needs to go Issac. It sure about him
BYU fan here. Super frustrating when your QB room fails. When Jaren Hall left, 4 star Conover was originally lined up to take over but he ended up being so bad he transferred cuz he knew he was so bad… had to revamp. Gotta one year rental in Slovis and took a shot on a high rated Juco transfer for the future. Ended up having a really really bad year, cuz the qb room failed.
So my fellow BYU fans can come in here and be cringy about it but likely it’s a one year set back. (Side note yesterday was horrible for BYU’s strength of schedule resume with Utah, ASU and UCF losing)
Utah has a similar situation where they have nothing between the 7th year senior and the true freshman (making an assumption on Rose). QB room failed just like BYUs last year.
Utah is one Isaac Wilson busting his ass in the off-season away from being back in the top 3 of the conference.
Damn. It must be pretty demoralizing to have more of your rival’s fans watching your stuff to pay your bills. Hope Utah turns it around, this is getting sad.
All teams go through transitions. Oregon has been through several
Everyone is talking about the QB, but this isn’t a QB problem, this is all about the offensive line. Utah couldn’t get a running game going against one of the worst run defenses in the country. Isaac was scrambling for his life on almost every play.
Wilson needs to be benched. He’s not it.
Totally agree. I don’t believe he is ever going to be good, just all hype.
@@Carrollavirus bro just got out of high school you expect him to be Caleb Williams?
Definitely an overreaction! However, to me, while Wilson is far from being the undisputed starter for even 2025, due to the fact that he still needs a lot of work, coaching, and experience; I do believe Wilson could be an effective starter by his Jr/Sr season(s) with the above investment.
Isaac Wilson he's not comfortable in the pocket,he holds the ball too long and panics when he feels the rush and takes off running instead of stepping up in the pocket,I know he's just a freshman but he's not even showing signs of progression. Go UTES 💯🏈💪
@@mariovigil3100 He's definitely showing signs of progression, he had basically 0 picks last night. It takes time for most freshmen to learn the college game. Won't happen in just 3 or 4 games
Remember Ute fans Utah in its 2nd year in the PAC did not compete for anything other then relevance.
So hoped for a titanic battle in the Holy War. Now - it will still be titanic, but all that can happen is BYU wins because they should - or Utah ruins the Big 12’s bid for 2 or 3 CFP spots. Not good regardless. Love my Cougs, but this is just hard to watch.
If BYU loses to Utah they can still get into the championship game and playoffs tho
Terribly coached team from start to finish.
3 minutes left in the game and absolutely zero urgency. Same as the AZ and ASU games. Nobody cares anymore
Geeze give Wilson a break. The kid was in highschool 5 months ago and has been pretty much thrown in the deep end. So what do you expect. Let him develop.
Problem is, he isn't developing. He is the same or maybe worse. He is a freshman, what expectations should we have for Wilson right now? What is the frustration is that apparently he is all we got and he is just not ready for this. He has aways to go, terribly inaccurate, missing open receivers. Same things week after week is not getting better. This is not doing Wilson any good in getting better.
They got 2 other more experienced qbs! Why not give them a shot!
The dark days haven't come yet. What are the odds Wilson and Bernard make it through the next couple games without an injury. They get hit way to often.
When the time comes, we have Morgan Scalley to get us back on top. 😂😂😂
Imagine if rising doesn't get hurt against Baylor, wild
How do you convince yourself that a true freshman is your best option after a starting quarterback that’s been injury prone is schedule to make a comeback? Cam and kuethe ( probably misspelled ) both are done Cam of you want to play again go somewhere else. I would give Rose some run to see what he can do or he will probably transfer out and then you will definitely be tied to Wilson. What’s his potential? He may be alright but that young man doesn’t have the juice to take this team all the way , good in high school, just don’t see it transferring to him being an elite Qb . Nonetheless gotta get behind the young man.
Wilson is complete garbage. It doesn't matter what the OC dials up, Wilson can't execute the play. We MUST start someone else. They can just load up against the run when you know there is no throwing threat.
#FireKyleWhittingham
The reason is the "Curse of Dorian Singer". He likes to "Better Deal" every program he goes to and then he "bails" and the team he transfers to instantly sucks.
Isnt Utah the two time Pac 12 Champions? How can you say "it is not walking".
Whittingham has become complacent and needs to go! Utah doesn't need to give Scalley the reins either! Utah needs a fresh start, from scratch!
Out of the top 25. That will hurt recruiting!!!
I think NIL and cam rising is hurting The Utes because he’ll never play again. He always gets hurt.
Utah is losing games because they have absolutely no offense, and it has affected the rest of the team. They have totally mismanaged the QB position, so hopefully, they learn from their mistakes.
Everyone needs to stop being so extreme, no this isn't a 'welcome to the big 12' moment, this isn't doomsday - this is simply a quarterback transition year - to a 18 ye old true freshman - yes we were overconfident coming in, yes it was foolish to not have a good backup to rising, and yes the offense has gone stale. Because we have a true freshman QB. Do people forget that the pac-12 had oregon, Washington, usc, etc? BYU was in this same quarterback transition period last year, and look how good they are now - I'm dreading Nov 9th personally but at least someone will rep the state this year. Last year everyone was saying the same thing to BYU 'welcome to the big 12' 'wish you could go independent again right?' Etc, etc. Look how good they are now that they have their QB situation figured out. Utah can do the same as long as Wilson develops/they get an actual QB next year
If you have true freshman QB who is garbage, then he shouldn't be starting. In this game he should have been benched at halftime.
@@thearsenalfan2005 Wilson won’t be good next year.
@@Crusader-p8x But his junior year he could be the goat
@@bnelson_mtb Yeah…won’t happen.
@@thearsenalfan2005 my initial comment to this thread intended to say “we had a good backup” (Bryson). Was he perfect, No but he knew the offense in and out. He managed it well. He had some great games but also had some struggling games (example: last years bowl game when the few remaining starters hit the portal then decided not to play leave a skeleton crew for Bryson to try to work with) He too could have decided not to play but took the risk and probably hurt his transfer options. But remember, the kid paid his own way for 3 1/2 years, worked at freaking Lowe’s to make ends meet, stuck it out and could’ve started this year giving Isaac time to learn a system that HONESTLY takes even great QBs a few years to get comfortable with. Just saying!!!
All the shit Utah talked about how they were gonna run the B12, where is that energy now? TCU should have won by 30, just like they did last time they played there. Humbled! TCU was just better at everything. Better athletes. Was surprised that TCU was able to match Utahs physicality.
This will not just blow over in 2024....With the NIL and transfer portals players will leave and de-commit , Utah will learn to play the new game or continue to lose 🤬
When a team has an inefficient QB nobody else stays motivated. This team doesn’t look anything like a UU team from the past ~10 years. They seem to lack intensity knowing their QB isn’t likely to produce decent results
Utah game plan went south. They should have gone off script and went to the other qb. What is whit afraid of? They were losing with no momentum anyway. That way if the other qb does better, you can give him more reps next weeks practice... and if wilson still can't get over the learning curve, PULL HIM FOR PETE SAKE !! what are going to do, just sit there and watch the slow death occur with no confidence in a very very green qb, cmon coach !
Give Huard or Rose or Bottari a try, if they are worse than Wilson then Utah has a horrible stable of QB's.
Be patient Ute fans. This is your first year playing in a Power 4 conference. It will take some time to build up the talent and depth needed to be competitive in this league.
Our NIL collective is collapsing. I think things will just get worse! Go Utes!
Are you forgetting the Pac-12 had oregon, Washington, USC, etc? We definitely need more depth but it all comes back to the QB and offense. What we needed was to assume that Rising would insure himself again and bring in a good backup - not think we could run thru a true freshman QB.
Lmao! What an asinine comment.
This isn’t their first year in a power conference, they played in a power 5 conference before this you dolt.
KW already has an established team, but has failed immensely with his incompetent coaching, it’s not like they are in rebuild mode.
@@mmiller73 this wasn't supposed to be rebuild year tho
😂
Every team is focused on 33:12 Utah’s predictability. If you don’t have a QB then you are crippled offensively. It allows teams to take more risks to beat you.
didnt cam make 200,000 last night
Any offensive recruit committed to Utah should reconsider. Whittingham is incompetent in overseeing an offense
That’s what happened when you throw a lots money to Qb and you’re teammate found out they make less money so now they’re thinking you make more money go win the game
GO BYU!!!!!
I think this whole season all started off wrong with the distraction of coach Whitt starting off this year as the headliner and a giant distraction about this being his possible last year. Plus we probably lost possible future recruits just because hes already named the future head coach. Why the hell are we not using certain great players Landon King, Damien Alford, Munir McClain, Jaylon Glover? I wouldn't blame half of our teams good players for transferring because they aren't even used. Terrible personell coaching to go along with our terrible ass play calling Andy Ludwig. I'm tired of seeing Brandt Keithe run the ball and EVERY PERSON ON THE ENTIRE PLANET KNOWS HES GONNA RUN IT! WTF LUDWIG? get it together and stop being so predictable and play to Wilsons strengths and figure it out! We should not have lost this game or Arizona St. Get some creativity and stop being so damn stubborn and running the same old predictable tired plays, run some new shit. Also linebackers and Teo Johnson learn how to wrap up and tackle. The ONE good thing about all of this is Isaic Wilson is getting valuable experience and will be better than Cam Rising if he doesn't transfer and next year will HOPEFULLY be better, and get Dorian Singer the ball Isaic Wilson and Ludwig that kid is a dawg.
Have watched in amazement as Whittingham makes one bonehead decision after another. Should have sent Cam into retirement and kept Barnes!
It is what it is eh...rather give the ball to Isaac this yr than Rising. Willl be way better next yr n at full speeed
Whittingham is in way over his head. So he sacrifices Ludwig. Pretty pathetic as far as I'm concerned.
So Two Youts not dominating the XII any longer?
59-35. Now, please make your way out of this Utah comment section.
Ngl, it's hilarious seeing Utah fans and the media eating crow. Arrogant delusional fan base talked so much 💩 about the truck stop conference only to turn into the creampuff of the conference.
We don't want to go to the Big 12 , it's such a lesser conference , if you ask nicely , maybe the new Pac 12 will take Utah back
🍿
No worries, we will still beat BYU. That victory alone will make the season memorable!
😂
We'll need a miracle
Good at bullying though
Big 12 shouldn’t have allowed this trash program into the Big 12. Utah belongs in the Mountain West. Big 12 deserves better.
When the tds and ISU are the top, undefeated teams... Kinda looks like the Big XII is trash. Even the ACC is laughing at it. Hilarious.
@@THEeyepatch11We made toxic and delusional comments for a decade & we squandered our PAC 12 gift. Now it feels like we’re about to experience a great deal of pain (basketball season might be even more humiliating than football season). Anyway, GO UTES!
@@theoptimist9605 Who's "we" exactly? You, your mother and the 10 personalities inside your head? Hilarious.
@@THEeyepatch11 There you go again! I tried to warn our fans about what was coming. We kept making demeaning comments about the Big 12 and BYU. BYU has always been our Big Brother. They have much higher Academic Admissions requirements and they have more fans and a bigger national profile (and stadium). Do we have a National Championship? Do we have a Heisman Trophy? I think the next few decades are going to be very painful for our fans. Let’s just be humble and do our best. GO UTES‼️
@@theoptimist9605 So I am correct that when you say, "we", you're talking you, your mother and the 10 different personalities in your head? Hilarious.
Best in the Big 12. Ummmm ok Utah.
😂🤣😂
Our Big Brother BYU deserves an apology for the toxic and delusional behavior of our fans during our short-lived “glory days” in the PAC 12. It definitely feels like BYU is about to Dominate us in Football and Basketball for the next 35 years…Again! Anyway, GO UTES‼️
I will never apologize to BYU just because they are having a fluke season. 😂
"oh BYU deserves an apology we were so mean to them 🥺🥺 lets pwease be nicer to daddy BYU-chan, I hope I don't make them mad 🥺🥺" do you have any idea how pathetic you sound right now
@@OhShiitakeMushrooms I think basketball season may be even more painful and humiliating for us than football season. The future doesn’t look bright for our athletic programs. Anyway, let’s be humble and do our best. GO UTES‼️
dude, I am so sick of your fake fan base comments. just be a Byu fan and stay there. You are not all-seeing, and you don't know the future. dumb ass predictions. so what do we suck this year? Anything can happen that same year and the same for the following years. and basketball hasn't even played one game, and you're predicting their downfall. screw you.
Come on little brother wake up. This is no fun when you guys just suck
@@seanbrower4701 ik can't we just have a year where we're both awake??
@@bnelson_mtb BYU is. Perhaps you need to take your medicine.
@@stischer47 BYU stunk it up last year
Scam Rising

Look as Utah fans we need to collectively take a deep breath. I know expectations were high this year, but this is what happens when you step up into a P4 conference. It took us a few years to build depth when we stepped into a P5 conference, it may take use a few years now that we took another step up into a legit P4 conference. We can do this! We can run the Big12 just like we ran the Pac12 in a few years. Just gotta build depth to compete on this level.
@@acrsde bruh don't act like the big 12 is good... we just stink this year😂
Say all you want, but our depth just isn't what we thought it was. Sure it's not the SEC or Big 10 at the top of our conference, but we've gotten used to beating up on a ton of weak, Mtn West level teams with most of the former Pac12. We were top dog there, and we still will be here, but the bottom level of the Big12 is higher than what we are used to. Since 2002 Utah has been one of the best teams in college football, and we will be again, but coaches need to focus on recruiting DEPTH so we can compete.
It sucks that Cam got injured because with him we are likely competing for a national championship DESPITE our other weaknesses, but we need to get tougher in the trenches and need solid guys so we can compete with the top end of our conference like Kstate, BYU, and Iowa State. They've had time to develop the depth they need, and I know we'll get it quickly.
@@acrsde What are you talking about? Do you watch football?? You realize Oregon, USC, and Washington were in the PAC. Tell me with a straight face that that TCU team was better than Bo Nix's Oregon and Michael Penix's Washington last year. Awful take. The PAC was absolutely a tougher conference than a big 12.
The inability to detect humor and sarcasm is running high in SLC.
@@staleydu1 Either he's being sarcastic or he genuinely doesn't know football 🤷
Bryson Barns is way better!!!
