Still see so many Wilson sympathizers...he had more than adequate time to show what he might be able to do. He got worse and worse as he acquired more experience. Let it go. He is a backup QB. A potential starting USU QB at best.

What could have been... while BYU was winning 4 games by a combined 13 points against teams with a combined conference record of 6-22 (and in the CFP picture)🤭🤣, we were losing 4 games by a combined 13 points to teams with a combined conference record of 23-13. 🧐😲😫

Well there goes that dream. https://x.com/petethamel/status/1863696291017982150?s=46&t=M_Ggxbu2JxkogPPfguzXSg

Mack Leftwich was one of the candidates per markham and Patton. Today Jamarian Ficklin QB previously committed to Texas state just flipped to Utah.

Who can Utes get in the portal that can help the offense rise to the next level for 2025?

Right now I'm thinking:

Miller Moss from USC
Malachi Nelson from Boise State

Anyone else the Utes could go chase? - Or do we just put all the trust in Wilson, who I personally think did well under the circumstances, expectations and pressure he was put under.

I know I don't speak for everyone in our fan base, but I have never seen Utah being hated on as much as we have recently.

I went to Utah right after Urban left. I remember the "bad" years, and felt very fortunate to be there in 2008 and the surrounding years where we were constantly fighting with BYU and TCU for the conference title. Even though Andy Dalton kicked our asses, I had mad respect for him and wanted them to do well. (fuck byu)

Whitts whole mentality over the course of his career has been to shut your mouth and work harder than the rest...But did success change us? did the pac12 change us?

Now that the season is done and all I can do is think about what comes next i have decided on my funniest outcome.

Whitt decides he is done, Scalley gets the HC job, we pull in some great OC, and grab Jay Hill from BYU as our new DC.

Would crack me up to no end. That's all. Go Utes.

Jerome Myles decommitted from SC. Any scuttlebutt on Twitter or the pay boards? I swear if he goes to BYU...

I know he’s still in HS, and who knows what commits will do after this season, but I’m surprised this kid isn’t brought up more on this sub. Any thoughts?

I know it’s just a kicker but this kid hits bombs!

Check the Ohio state sub regarding The Game.

“Fire Ryan day” “Offensive play calling was not creative” “Ryan Day can’t win the big games” “We know better than the coaches etc…”

Honestly it reminded me of every discussion in this sub after a loss.

I point this out, and believe it’s relevant here, because, seeing that other fans react in similar ways helps put context into this season.

Football is hard. Fans are crazy. Luck is a bigger factor than we give it credit for.

Utah came away with a win, BYU has been eliminated. We can officially put this season to rest and behind us!

I know this is not the season that we were expecting. That being said, I am still very proud of our boys for finishing our season strong. Now, we still have plenty of college football left. I was just curious about what teams y'all are routing for as we head into the college playoffs.

My understanding is that 5-7 teams are sometimes able to go bowling, and it's determined based on the number of 6+ win teams and the academic ratings of the 5-7 teams.

Is there any chance Utah gets a bowl invite this year?

Ended last night with a win! Now let’s change our red to an ASU and ISU red. Let’s put BYU right where they should be and out of the championship and playoffs!

I’ve seen a couple (loose) rumors about John Mateer potentially having already made a deal with Utah, wondering if anyone has heard anything.

There was news a couple weeks ago that Mateer has been offered $1mil+ by an unnamed school.

Either way, this guy should absolutely be a portal target for Utah. He’s at 3k passing yards for the season, 28 TDs and 6 INTs, another 770 yards on the ground. (Still has one more regular season game today vs Wyoming)

What if he was used for those 3 red zone trips against Arizona. Or Houston. Or TCU. Man.

its been a tough year for the utes. but all things considered, it will be a year we look back on and ask how that happened rather than say that was the turning point. the future still looks bright and as always, a utah fan am i! SKO UTES!!

Pretty damn awesome that Luke Bottari comes to the rescue again, and finishes perfect in his Utah career as a starter (2-0). Amazing job by our team tonight. Name any other seniors you want to praise. Let’s give plenty of flowers to Micah 💐🔥

If this is Kyle’s last game, I’ll actually be pretty emotional about it. He’s been so influential, and a source of consistency for years. I respect him so much, and feel thankful for who he’s been for this program. Personally, I’d love to see him come back and end on a higher note than this season.

It’s been a rough season for sure. Definitely a lot of unknowns going forward with offense, QB and coaching, but the team looked solid tonight outside of some flags. The defense looked exactly like I expect from Scalley.

This provides a lot of hope going into next year. Scalley looks in charge. Even if Whitt stays on another year, I truly expect Scalley will be doing most of the work while Whitt coaches him from the side.

I’ve not liked a lot of this year’s decisions, but if tonight is indication of Scalley’s directions. We are coming back.

I want us to abandon the double U for a year just to see what happens when we channel that full Ute energy.

So with our poor quarterback situation and Isaac Wilson needing a substantial amount of more time to be ready. Plus with the rumors of him leaving and hopefully not too many players leave next year. Do we take Cam back to hold us over and carry us into next year to hopefully build our reputation again? Because unless you’re getting crazy NIL money, I’m not sure why you’d come to Utah after this season.

Some seem to think today might be Coach Whittingham’s last game as head coach. If true- what’s your favorite memory?

Mine is the 2007 Wyoming game when he called for an onside kick up 43-0. Wyoming coach had guaranteed a victory at Utah in the days leading up to the game. Odd memory given all his accomplishments, but this always comes to mind.

Finally the end of this nightmare of a season for Utah football. Hopefully we can get a win tonight just to go out on somewhat of a "high note" ( if we can even call going potentially 5-7 for the season a "high note", but I'll take any kind of "win" at this point. Also I'll just throw in that I'll be a Houston fan for tomorrow's game while I'm at it.

With that said, good luck tonight Utah Football and I'm more than ready at this point to move on from 2024.
