Where does the term "burned a redshirt" come from?
We haven't done anything with DHC's redshirt. He just won't redshirt this year. He can still redshirt in future years.

I'm just pissed at our defense. I predicted a 19-0 win for us.
In his post game interview with Riley, Chase Hansen said the Utes came out a little flat after halftime. One great thing about these Utes is that they do learn, and I'm sure they learned from that letdown.Originally Posted by UBlender

Agreed. We can't stop playing OSU soon enough as far as I'm concerned.

Gary Andersen is an amazing coach. Top 25 at worst. It will be nice to get them off the schedule so he can "upset" other schools as he builds OSU up.
It's much better to lose to an expected 8 win team than an expected 3 win team.
He also got a carry on the last play of the 3Q.
It depends on how effective he is in the season where he plays.
In 2002, Alex Smith came into the SDSU game where we were struggling badly on offense, just to throw a pick 6.
Had he stayed long enough to see the end of his eligibility at Utah and got injured or something right before his senior year, that play would've been seen as "burning his eligibility" since his play was largely ineffective and you could use that redshirt for an injury season.

The two Ws are for wet and windy. Yesterday was very frustrating, but I'm going to go out on a limb and say that it would have been much less so if not for the weather.
For those complaining about the offense, I have to say that I was more upset at the defense. Those two TD drive by OSU were simply unacceptable. The first one was too damn easy, the second one made the third string QB look like an all star.
Now, I am not going to tell anyone not to grouse about the game. As I said, it was frustrating, and it took me a couple of hours to unwind, even as I breathed a sigh of relief. If grousing makes you feel better and helps you cope, then, by all means, press on.
OTOH, if grousing actually makes you feel worse, might I suggest a different coping method?
Finally, for you Sunday morning QBs, while hindsight is 20/20, remember that Winston Churchill pointed that it does not tell what would have happened if a different course of action had been followed.

We still have DHC's redshirt. We can still use it. You don't assign redshirt's until the season ends.
Alex Smith never used his redshirt. It was still available to him.
Heck, playing DHC helps with redshirting. If you redshirt with no injury, it's very hard to get a medical RS. If you RS due to injury and get hurt again, it's easier to get a medical RS.
For the past two seasons, we've played both Oregon schools, but only UW and Cal from the other coastal states.
Assuming we resume Wazzu and Stanford, we'll drop UW or Cal, if OSU is already going to be off the schedule. I'd rather take a break from UW.
So, I am not so sure about this. I agree with Seattle Utes that the goal is to win, and we shouldn't stare too hard at how that's done, but I can't go as far as he did and suggest that it doesn't matter. A season is a process. If the team isn't improving from week to week (overall, obviously learning and improvement are rarely entirely consistent), then there is reason to investigate.
Troy Williams has improved significantly this season. Joe Williams had a tremendous game yesterday. I am undecided about the offensive line.

By the way, lost among all this discussion of the team's performance is this: Yesterday it really was Utah by 5.

I am pretty sure that it does matter to Kyle and his staff.

One thing that wasn't mentioned about weather, Reeser stadium is odd.
It doesn't sit North-South like most stadiums. It actually sits at an angle. So the wind isn't behind or into you, it's a crosswind. Likely explains why the wind was more of a problem than it may usually have been.

All you have to do is watch OSU's last field goal attempt. That was part kicker, but cross wind took it plenty as well.

It's Cal and OSU that rotate off (which is a bad break for Utah). Cal and Stanford alternate and then we rotate through the other four north division teams. OSU is the only one who we haven't missed so far.
So, as terrible as ARod was, no props for 170+ yards from a kid who has not played football in a month and Butler-Burd with 50+ yards rushing as well.
Not too damn bad for a team on their 7th? string RB?
Man, imagine how great we would have been Saturday if ARod knew anything about offense.
Butler-Byrd was a lot of fun to watch on Saturday.
I wonder if he can throw it, because that sweep-action has "pass" written all over it (like Booker's pass last year vs. Oregon)

Yeah, well, and water is wet.
I only wish that we Admins could somehow take credit for your faulty space bar.

I think the cookie crumbs in the keyboard share the blame for the Spacebar issues.
Guys this is serious! I'm on my phone now but at work I can't use the spacebar. What will y'all do without my posts?
I listened to DJ and PK on the drive to work, looking for some giggles about BYU's situation, but instead they had a long interview with Lincoln Kennedy, the former UW & NFL O-lineman, who does some PAC-12 analysis, and does broadcasts for Fox.
He has to be one of the sharpest football minds in all of the media. Hans Olsen is pretty astute, insightful, and well spoken, but Lincoln Kennedy is a few tiers above him. Essentially he's of the same mindset many of us are, looking for the Utes to put together a complete game. He thinks we should take care of business at UCLA, and then the Washington game will be big.

Cruel post.
Truth hurts. Sorry not sorry.
