This game gave me flashbacks to watching Jordan Wynn trying to play at USU, only to get injured and we lost that game. It also ended his career.

I donāt know that Iāve ever said this, but this is on Whitt. It was clear Cam wasnāt up to it after he hurt his ankle. No need to be stubborn about it. Should have switched to Wilson.
I have to wonder if Whitt gets pressure from the NIL money boys to play Cam in exchange for their support. If that were true, and I have no knowledge that it is, college football is totally fād.

I honestly thought 2 weeks ago had to be the absolute bottom for this season. Now, I expect virtually nothing

Wow, they must be confused over who they just beat down there.
To me, D1 CFB is already totally fād.

I suppose we could talk ourselves into thinking itās flattering that theyāre thrilled about beating us. But pulling down the goal posts? Really?
I feel bad for Cam. That said, heās not the first player in college footballācertainly not the first Uteāto have his career severely limited by injuries. At this point, itās reasonable even to wonder if Cam ever truly came back from the latest knee injury. Tonight it didnāt look like the finger was the real problem, unless weāre all missing something. Everybody involved with or supporting the program, from the coaches down to the newest fan in the stadium, just wanted so badly for him to come back We all became almost obsessed with that hope. It would be great if he could still return to something like 95% of the Cam we knew, but at this point, we should know better than to get our hopes up.

Cam is going to be a great coach someday.
Heās a competitor, and he knows the game. He got us to two Rose Bowls. He wouldāve been a great NFL player, but his body just canāt handle the abuse of the game. Regardless of how this ends, you can only be proud of the kid and wish him nothing but the best.

Iāve stayed up way too late the last two games to watch all the hype fizzle. I am sick of two things at this point.
-
Late start times. Itās terrible and I have lost enough love for CFB and gotten old enough that I just canāt see myself losing sleep every week to see the ends of these games.

Rose colored glasses worn to think we have any chance of this season going anywhere. Fans are kept in an information black hole not because things are going well but because they arenāt. We lack depth and other coaches have figured us out. If we win 8 games itāll be an achievement.

Guess itās a good thing I spent the night Imagining Dragons instead of imagining Utah had a chance to win the Big XII.

Thatās a tough call. A bad concert at USANA vs a terrible game on TVā¦.maybe Netflix and bed by 9 would have been the best choice.

Based on what I have seen the past two weeks, I am not sure Utah wins two more games. Really. And that is mind blowing considering we were led to believe this was a playoff team.

They never were. At this point I hope we can beat Houston and TCU. I donāt hold out much hope against the rest of the schedule.

It was my kidās first concert. One of my 11 year old twins was literally in tears of joy when they took the stage, and sang along with every word in every song.
He could not have been happierā¦totally worth it.

Deeply disapointing. I donāt understand why they didnāt put Wilson in for a couple plays just to make AZ see different looks. Especially when it was clear Cam was not playing his best ball. Why does it have to be all or nothing for either QB?

Itās Saturday morning. The sun came up on a beautiful morning in San Diego. I am determined to put last night behind me and better focus on the things I have to be thankful for. My faith, wife, kids, grandkids, a second chance after the heart attack and stroke, and much more.
Last night I watched my beloved Utes and Padres have their collective hopes for a crack at championship seasons end. It was tough to swallow. Iāve realized that I probably invest WAY too much time into my fandom and not enough into things that really matter. I need to get things in perspective.
Donāt get me wrong. Iāll ALWAYS be an avid Ute fan. Itās hard wired. My grandfather was a Ute, my dad was a Ute. All of my uncles too. I was literally carried into Ute games from the time I was 2 years old. Iāll always be loyal, but with a closer eye on the things mentioned above.
This may be an over-reaction, but I think many of us have come to the realization that Cam has probably become the next Jordan Wynn. Tons of talent, will, heart and grit, but a body that just canāt match the mental component.
Playoff hopes have now circled the drain and vanished. I believe itās time to hand the reigns to Wilson and give him reps and experience so he can hit the field in 2025 at full potential. Iāll back him with enthusiasm.
I also believe we are watching Whittās final campaign. He has made it crystal clear that heād go as long as heās having fun and enjoying the ride. That ship has sailed. You can see it in his face and body language. Theyāll build a bronze statue for him and rename the place Kyle Whittingham Field at Rice Eccles Stadium. Heās deserving of it.
Whitt has given all a man can give and then some. I think that a shot at a deep playoff run this year kept him going in spite of realignment, NIL, and the Transfer Portal. Heāll have plenty of fond memories to reflect on and the relationships heās built can never be taken away.
That pretty much sums it up. GO UTES !!!
