He had surgery last Wednesday so I’m doubting he’s in a position to be at a game.

Yeah, a few of our fans were SO over-the-top obnoxious before the season. It was embarassing.

Every fan base has those, and CU is definitely no exception.

Of course he is.
When was the last time a Utah QB started and finished the season?

Maybe it’s true but the quick retraction could also mean that it was just that. A rumor. He played the whole game and was jacked up and jumping up and down on the sidelines all game. Whitt just had a presser and didn’t even come close to looking worried about Rose.
So while it’s possible, this is a rumor I’ll just ignore till we hear something definitive. The whole world is crazy atm. No reason to believe everything on the internet.
Well except predictions of doom. Those seem pretty credible atm.

Rose didn’t seem destined to have a 300 yard game in the coming weeks, I think Kuithe is a much greater loss. Do hope Brandon is well and feel for any player getting hurt. Can only imagine what it is like to go through the pain and rehab of a major injury. Been fortunate that I’ve never broken a bone and most significant problem I’ve ever had was needing my appendix removed (didn’t rupture) about a decade ago. Took a couple of days of mild recovery then I was fine.

Hopefully just a rumor, but Bottari against CU again? Maybe if Wilson is dinged up but playable, he could be the emergency. But still hope Rose is ok, can get well enough (seemed like there was a limp in the 2nd half), and the offense can look like Q2.

What has happened to Utah football the last 15 games is utterly perplexing. The fall has been fast and hard, and I can’t begin to understand why. On Oct. 21, 2023, Utah won a thrilling, satisfying game at USC, 34-32, by drilling a field goal as time expired. Bryson Barnes was clutch, and Sione Vaki was dazzling. Beating Caleb Williams yet again was so sweet. It put Utah at 6-1 overall and ranked just outside the top 10.
Since that memorable victory, Utah is a paltry 6-9, with none of the six wins coming against good opponents. The team has suffered an inordinate number of injuries (though those injuries began to pile up before the USC game, of course). A coach has resigned, players have been kicked off the team or quit, and other promising players have been benched, not developed as hoped, or otherwise underperformed. It has been an inconceivable fall.
So how has this happened, and what does the program do going forward? I have zero expectations that Utah will win again this season. Likely, the team ends the year on an eight-game losing streak, which would be its longest in-season losing streak in program history. Let that sink in. A team that was once 4-0, No. 10 in the nation, picked to win the conference and make the playoffs has a very good shot at having the longest in-season losing steak in school history. It’s unfathomable.
It would be so sad to see Whit go out this way after the career he has had. Maybe he comes back next season to atone for this debacle. I have no idea. But the program certainly needs an overhaul. Whoever is in charge in 2025 and beyond will have to hit the portal hard. Hopefully there’s some mega donor out there willing to dump millions of NIL money into the program. Sadly, that’s what it takes nowadays.

Fast, yes. Hard, also yes. Perplexing, not really.
Utah pushed every single chip in on a guy who has played two games in three years. Hard to win when you do that.

There has to be more to it than that. That is a huge reason, no doubt the biggest.

In addition, residual stuff from Ty and Aaron (e.g. impact on Jackson [+NIL]), poison from Tavion Thomas, NIL decisions that put non-producers making money while producers weren’t, … but yes, putting all the chips in on Cam and getting little out of it has not been good.
The USC was the last game I went to, so …

So, you’re saying it has been a perfect storm of crap?
What do you mean about Thomas?
From what I recall TT was a bit of a cancer in the RB room last year. Almost to the point the Bernard was ready to leave the team.

I think its simple. You’re team is only as good as your QB. I love Bryson Barnes, but he wasnt a quality D1 QB. We haven’t had good QB play since the first quarter of the Penn St. game.
Bryson beat USC/Caleb Williams, but so did four other PAC12 teams that year. That was not a good USC team.
With a healthy Rising this year, I’d argue Utah is 8-1 or 7-2.
