It's not a bad strategy to save this sort of thing for when you really need it, and the argument about avoiding injury is a good one. Saying that injuries are part of the game and therefore you shouldn't take precautions with your starting quarterback makes no sense.

I said u should at least use him as a runner on a limited basis. U do have a point that they may be holding back till conference play opens.
 
Even running run plays for Williams on a limited basis will open up the run game some for the rb's. Running Williams should not completely be ignored.

Ignore Williams' running ability. Did you not see Huntley last night? If We're Liam's gets hurt we may not win another game.

Didn't u hype up Huntley a day or so ago along with half the team?

Also I put no stock in garbage time. I still remember Ronnie Mack throwing away Alex Smith's redshirt year. That didn't look good either

Even with USC being 1-2, I think Utah has to play their best game by far to beat them. The Trojan's are going to be FIGHTING like hell not to fall to 1-3. In fact, I don't know if I can even fathom them falling to 1-3.

A bright spot for Utah as the season rolls on: This amazing 3-headed monster at RB. Every one of these guys are legit, and since there's 3 of them, Utah can play their ground it out strategy without having to worry about burning out a single workhorse back like Booker.

Troy Williams still has to get better at the turnovers but I think it's fair to say at this point that Williams and Utah's WRs are superior to what Utah had in the passing game last year. They could really hammer teams on the ground with these 3 RB's and actually have a QB that can make a defense pay for loading up on the run.

I think Utah is slowly becoming the team many of us envisioned at the beginning of the year. Problem is, they still haven't put it all together yet. They'll absolutely have to this week.
 
Re: USC
Ya, this game is going to be TOUGH.

Re: Williams running
Whit has said that the reason they're not going to run him as much this year is to keep him safe. He outright said that Travis was good at it but got hurt and it was scary. With only two scholly QB's they want to use the RB depth. He said this during the Crimson Club Coaches Luncheon and I'm pretty sure it made it to the press but I don't have a source for you unless I'm the source because I WAS THERE MAN

Yeah, I did. I said that Huntley has all the talent in the world and in a couple of years has potential to be really, really good.

The kid is a true freshman. I'm not silly enough to believe in a true freshman. True freshmen suck at QB.

Like you said, look at Alex Smith his freshman yr. How did that go? How did that end?

Keep true freshmen off the field at QB. It doesn't help them at all.

That's true. A FCS team, a crappy mid-major and another crappy mid major. I'm just glad our schedule has been so weak because 10? TO's vs a decent schedule and we are 0-3.

Thank heavens for cake walk OOC teams. Especially that second game. Who wins a game after having 6 TO's?

Chris Hill may have scheduled us a bowl game with how weak that OOC was.
 
This week will be a huge coaching challenge for Whitt. Last year, this team wasn't ready for the USC game. This game has me extremely nervous. USC is already on the brink of not contending for the South division should they lose.

Usually, when things seem to line up too good for Utah, they **** the bed. You have a chance to send USC into an 0-2 conference record and Stanford lined up to send UCLA to 0-1 in conference.
 
Yeah, I'm not feeling confident.

Obviously it's an excuse, but for the 2nd straight year we are playing USC when their backs are against the wall. Sucky.

It does suck. The flip side to that is that it sounds like those kids are about to quit on Clay Helton. If Utah can jump out to something like a 14-0 lead early, I think they'll fold their tents and go home. Conversely, the longer USC is leading or 1 score behind, their resolve will grow. The early game plan will be key.
 
Hard to believe players have quit on Helton
Seems like they campaigned vigorously to keep him last year
Who would want the USC job now if he gets fired
 
I'm going to the Utah @ Cal game in a couple weeks and looking at tickets.

Trying to decide if I'd rather sit in the Utah section which is in the end zone, or sit more along the side/corner and be with Cal fans. Price is about the same, just deciding if it's worth taking a worse view to be able to cheer and high five with Utes fans.

What do y'all think?

I'd sit with my Ute homies.

It was one series in garbage time don't be overly dramatic. Winn didn't set the world on fire as a freshman but he won his first game as a freshman and looked like he belonged.
