It's hard to fault Whit's scheduling when you see how well Chris Petersen's formula for making the Final Four has worked.

True. It's not Utah's job to make Jon Wilner happy.

Unfortunately, it looks like that's mine.
Good luck!

As long as BYU is on the OOC, scheduling another P5 is career suicide for Whitt and Hill.
Let's also be real. At this point, Utah is playing for second place in the south and hopefully USC wins the PAC-12 and Utah gets a Rose Bowl Bid.
Playing a tough OOC will only hurt that goal.
Rose Bowl is the playoff site this year

Ha. Then we don't even have that. That's alright. We have a really tough schedule this year anyways and a new offense.
If our offense stays the same, we might be a six win team. If is better, we might get to 8 wins.
My point still stands. There is no reason to schedule up OOC. Not one.
Switch BYU for a P5. Any P5. Give us a chance to an interesting locale somewhere.
That is all I ask. At least give us an interesting OOC.
I would LOVE this. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like the LDS-eslature will allow that.
Yeah, like Indiana.
No, but when we dropped them for Michigan, that was okay. If we can get that kind of a series, I'm alright with dropping them for two years.

Tufele to USC. Boo.
I second this. Their Podcast comes out every Tuesday and is informative and funny.
The latest episode Hackett talked about a Utah punter tradition that's been handed down from punter to punter for almost 20 years. It's pretty comical. Hackett said that when he finally told Whitt about the tradition and why it suddenly ended, Whitt was laughing hysterically.
They also mention that Taefele is likely a Ute, except that Stevie T. swayed him USC's way.
Stevie T. seems like a young man who bears a grudge.

I'm questioning Jaylon Johnson's vertical. 38'3" seems hard to believe

38.3" is easily plausible. Mine was 35", and I wasn't that good of an athlete.
Read the article. They listed it as 38'3". That's 38 FEET 3 inches

http://www.mercurynews.com/2017/02/1...uting-combine/(Could the Utes have been one of the top underachievers in 2016? By this measure, perhaps. But that’s a fairly narrow path the judgement.
(One could argue, too, that it’s reflective of quality coaching, because the Utes’ recruiting classes weren’t exactly jammed with 4 and 5-star players.)
*** Most surprising snub: Utah DE Hunter Dimick
You want to BYU this even more? If you put Tui'kolovatu in with Utah's invites, then only Alabama and Michigan have more invites to the combine.Combine invitations by Pac-12 school
