Most USC fans I know would enjoy seeing Whitt wearing the Ketchup and Mustard (or whatever they call their colors).

Wilner ranks the schedules in the conference from toughest to easiest: http://blogs.mercurynews.com/college...the-schedules/
1. Washington
2. USC
3. Cal
5. Oregon4. Utah - Nobody will confuse Fresno State with a top-10 team, but when a trip to the Central Valley looks to be your easiest non-conference game, it’s a tough lineup. And when you play Michigan, Utah State, Fresno and Oregon (in Eugene) it’s a mighty rough September. After that comes a tough October and a difficult November. Life in the South.
6. ASU
7. Stanford
8. Arizona
9. Colorado
10. UCLA
11. Oregon St.
12. Washington St.

Well, because he thought it was good sport. Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.
Anyone have any insight to the Domo Hatfield tweet?

No idea but I hope it means good news. If he does what Clay does and learns his lesson and keeps his head down he will be a better person for it.

I saw that on the Periscope feed this afternoon. The one titled "Trophy".
It looks sweet in the sun.

Pretty stuff. Hopefully the match they uniforms.
And now Sione Sina has left the team.We're getting a transfer from Cal that is a 1 year to play 1 guy: http://www.californiagoldenblogs.com...-utes-football
He has no stats to speak of, so I'll keep expectations low...but hey, he transferred from a P5 team!

It was fun while it lasted.
He'll go down as having played one game in his career.
He just wasn't likely to make the rotation here. DL is deep.

A little surprised about no Travis. Guess he had his chance as a sophomore.
Maybe they got tired of hearing him say 'definitely'.

I blame Chris Hill.

We have a lot of battle tested seniors. You can see the maturity, confidence and determination in Travis, more so than when he was a Soph. Kendal doesn't lack for leadership skills. If these two learned anything last year, it's that the QBs better be ready when their number is called, because it almost certainly will be, for different reasons, and if you're not resilient, you have no business playing at this level.
This team seems richer in player leadership than normal, and with a quiet Booker, the opportunities to lead will be there, for the QBs. Combine that with the change in chemistry among the offensive coaches, and who the captains are is not that big of a big deal.
Heard podcast of Riley interviewing Travis, who made a point of saying his relationship with the OC is better this year. Afterwards Riley noted that Travis has not been the subject of much attention this fall camp, which is a good thing for Travis and for the team. The last two seasons he was the top story. I tend to agree.

is it September 3rd yet?
QB's have enough on their plate, no need for them to be captains as well
Sam Tevi wins the LT job for your Utah Utes.

This is maybe the best news of this season, so far.
I'm intrigued to see how Harding and Roderick do, this year. I'm bullish.

Good interview with Brian Allen. Impressive young guy:

All Pac-12 preseason from ESPN:
http://espn.go.com/blog/pac12/post/_...erence-offense
RB: Devontae Booker, Utah, senior
In Booker’s first season at the FBS level, he rushed for 1,512 yards and 10 touchdowns despite being eased into the offense over the first few games.DL: Hunter Dimick, Utah, juniorNate Orchard garnered most of the attention, but Dimick quietly put together an outstanding sophomore year, finishing with 52 tackles, 14.5 tackles for loss and 10 sacks.LB: Jared Norris, Utah, senior
Norris finished third in the conference in tackles per game (8.9) on his was to 116 total tackles, along with 13 tackles for loss and four sacks.Kicker: Andy Phillips, Utah, junior
Phillips was a first-team All-Pac-12 selection after converting a school-record 23 field goals from 28 attempts, including a 12-of-15 mark from 40 yards or deeper.Punter: Tom Hackett, Utah, senior
Hackett, a native of Australia, won the Ray Guy Award, given to the nation's best punter, and was a consensus All-American.
I was happy to see the Stanford sophomore TE on there. I hope that Shultz kid is enjoying his amazing Stanford education from the bench.
That's 5/25 or 20% of the selections belonging to the Utes. More than any other team. USC is second with 4 selections.

That's nice, but I'd prefer to lean on Phillips and Hackett as little as possible this year. I'd feel a lot better about this year's team if we had a WR or QB on this list.
Amen. USC's 4 includes the all-conference QB. That's worth much more than a punter and kicker combined.
Tom Hackett was also named the preseason All American Punter. Back to Back Ray Guys here we come!

What do ya'll think of this set of pre-season rankings? Utah is ranked 43 in "Tier 4: A couple will play at a top-25 level:"
