Do you not have any hope that Morgan Scalley will continue to be successful?

I think Morgan is a good coach. Yet to be seen if he will be a good head coach.
Jdoc
10/14/24 2:21pm
I worry that they take a hard run at Jay Hill if Scalley doesn't work out year 1
YankeeCoug
10/14/24 2:33pm
I think Scalley will be given 3-4 years. That puts it 4-5 years out for us.

He and a number of other Utes are solid contributors and are more than welcome

If they hang on to Rising they’ll keep falling. Stick with Wilson.

Maybe, we'll see. I do think the whole Cam Rising thing has been handled

There will be a drop off when Kyle retires. I think that will happen at the end

Why do you think that?

Should win the next too. The last 4 will be pretty tough. 2-2 would be a good
Jdoc
10/14/24 1:36pm
i think you finish with 3 or 4 total losses, not bad considering not having a QB
franklyvulgar
10/14/24 1:42pm
Four losses including the bowl loss is the gold standard for Utah football
Greg4BYU
10/14/24 4:23pm
I think they need to turn the page for good on Rising. Wilson is very talented
rivercitycoug
10/14/24 1:34pm
Wilson keep y’all relevant for awhile. He looks to be a pretty good college QB

Utah enjoyed 11 years of being in a power conference over us...

everything goes in waves. Utah is ending the best football run in their history
Cougarclaw

I appreciate a Ute with open-minded takes on his program. My thoughts ...
runnincoug
10/14/24 1:55pm
I agree with all of your points.
Jdoc
10/14/24 2:01pm
I'm not sure BYU will be a whole lot better TBH, so rivalry games will be epic.

Yes. Rivalry games should be fun, but I wouldn't be surprised if BYU starts to

Nah...BYU fans have been saying this since 2004. Utah will be fine.

Utah had a clear financial and recruiting advantage for over a decade, and

Like I said, every year for the past 20 years, including Utah's invite to the Pac-12, BYU fans
TFL
10/14/24 2:18pm
I wasn't predicting a demise of the Utah program in any of those years.
ldssdl
10/14/24 2:33pm
Yeah none of us really were but it's convenient for utes to misremember we were.
Brandoblueblood
10/14/24 4:28pm
Because clearly BYU cannot or will not recruit non LDS athletes.
WillsPitStop
10/14/24 3:36pm
Hasn't BYU done better now with the TP and the Big 12? It's more the naive assumption
TFL
10/14/24 3:47pm
QB recruiting is considered a strength at Utah? I’ll give you TE, but given your
ldssdl
10/14/24 4:34pm
Compare Utah recruiting at QB 10 years ago or 5 years ago, to the last 3-4

I guess if all you care about is recruiting stars, then sure.

Typical yewt fan, I literally didn’t say any of those things.

To answer your question, BYU has a great thing going. Hopefully they continue to win and get to the CCG
TFL

Like our starting and backup QBs

I agree that they’ll be fine. But I don’t think they will differentiate themselves from any of the other Big 12 teams,

seriously... the biggest problem BYU fans have with Utah is the obnoxious fans.

Wrong. Utah sucks and I want them to suck more. But Jdoc is one of the good guys

Who is writing them off? But Ute fans saying Utah will never dip and go through tough years is the delusional viewpoint.

Nope. Dance on their grave.

deljdc

I think they will do fine. They will never be as big as their X.com fans say they will be, but will always compete.

Admitting that about many in your fanbase earns a lot of good will.
