Official UofU homer thread

Also, how great has Wilson been this year? #15 in college football and #2 in the PAC-12 in QBR.

And that's with the #6 toughest SOS so far. And he sat out vs Fresno St, so he hasn't had a game to pad his stats.

AND his talent is...not good. His best reciever is his RB. The next best? A SR whose been playing at Utah since McBride. I think Scott Mitchell threw passes to Scott. Scott is slow and has no agility.

His next best receiver? A five foot tall, 120lb future missionary.

Can you imagine how good Wilson would be if he had decent recievers?

What a awesome season so far. He deserves it. Kid has been through hell and back and keeps fighting. I've been saying this for years, but he's the best QB in the state, hands down.

Love that he's a Utah Man. He embodies that perfectly.
 
Props to freshmen:

Covey - wow. I had no faith you'd ever play for us. Wow. So impressed.
The other half of our Utah County future - Hansen. QB of the future. Making plays on special teams and at safety for us. May be our starting safety vs USC.
Repp - beautiful catches.
Smith - from almost dropping out of high school to starting as a freshman. Impressive.

The future is bright folks. We are coming into our own.

My point is...It's not enough for you that the utes are undefeated and ranked so high and have a shot at a championship.
You want everyone to believe that they also have endured horrible injuries, played toughest schedule, had to get to the games on foot in the snow uphill the whole way and just fought through so much adversity that it's amazing they are still alive.

That's not your point at all. You are here trying to show that Utah is "lucky" and if BYU was as "lucky" as Utah, they'd be #3 right now.

The simple fact is BYU is lucky with their Hail Mary's.

Every team has injuries. BYU has had them and so has Utah.

Good teams have depth and overcome injuries (Utah). Poor teams don't have depth and don't overcome injuries (BYU).

BYU is a very lucky team. Without luck, they are 3-4 right now.

You are way off (like usual)
My only point is that utah has been fortunate injury wise.
Your own teams fans agree with that statement (since its obvious)

I don't think byu would be a top three team even if they didn't have a single injury. Utah is better than byu regardless of injuries.
Michigan beats byu no matter how healthy they are this year
 
Speaking of injuries, Whitt said that Patrick may play this weekend. Finally.

Also, Utah started huddling up due to ASU stealing plays. Crazy. Good for ASU. We need to do a better job hiding our play calling.

I'll say otherwise. Ahmad Christian, transfer from Southern Carolina hasn't gotten on the field. Dimick missed two games. Wilson has missed time. Our top WR hasn't played yet. Troy McCorimick was supposed to be our home run guy on offense. We just moved our third string QB to safety and he may start vs USC (Hope Hansen can get back to QB). Our starting TE is done for the year. Domo missed two games due to racism.

We've had 4 starters out for the season so far.

My point is that the utes have not have long lasting injuries to their most important players at the most important part of their season. And that has played a part in their undefeated season.

Utes have been lucky with injuries so far this year. To say otherwise is dumb.

Depends on who gets injured and when and how bad the injuries are.

Seems pretty obvious what i was doing.

One more for ya naos just in case you still have not figured out my point. (i reached the limit of how many posts i could quote on my last post)
 
Utah has a pretty impressive strength of schedule. Pretty much the only three cupcake games are Fresno, Oregon State and Colorado. And even those teams are not horrible.

If Utah State and ASU can break into the top 25, 9 of the 12 teams they play this year will have been top 25 at some point. This schedule is insanely good.
 
fishonjazz said:
This is where I disagree.
I think if the utes had a season ending injury to Booker, Wilson, Scott or even the punter that they would have a couple of losses by now and probably end the year with about 3 losses.

Even p5 schools need their star players to have a chance at the playoffs.
How many of the undefeated teams have lost their starting qb for a bunch of games this year? I would guess the answer is zero.
I don't think that is a coincidence

You're right, we'll disagree. McCormick was going to be one of the offensive centerpieces for Utah this year. Our most productive returning WR has yet to see the field in 2015. We've lost 2 starting TE's to season ending injuries. They started the season without the 2 projected starters at CB in Hatfield and Christiansen (the latter still has yet to play this year). I could go on but I don't think I need to.

I'm also lol'ing at all the Coug fans still bemoaning the Taysom injury. Imo, you guys are BETTER with Mangum. Taysom was always going to be a limited passer. But please, keep playing the "We lost our starting QB" card. Your tears taste delicious.

Do you think utah would be better or worse if they lost Wilson for the year and booker never played a snap?

And freshman mangum is not better than hill

Also. I'm not crying about it. **** happens. Byu is having a pretty good year. This season has been quite fun compared to what I thought it was going to be when I saw the schedule and then realized taysom and jamaal were going to miss the whole season
 
I don't think you can call "being healthy" the same thing as "being lucky."

But, since your exercise is merely one of repetition, please continue.

You're a good guy, fish, but coming into a Utah homer thread and using BYU info to try and make an unnecessary point like this (we all know that injuries can derail a season without you telling us) has a less than minuscule chance of going well.
