    I saw the WVU QB Grier dislocate or break his finger a couple weeks ago. So the first question is whether he'll be playing.

    The article said he broke his hand

    Whitt said yesterday it looks good for Huntley to play.

    Cooper Bateman has left the team and will not be at the bowl game.

    Interesting reading the WVU board. I get the distinct feeling they don’t know much about Utah football.

    I guess Bateman didn't want to be in Dallas over Christmas. Sad.

    I can relate. I try to avoid Dallas at all costs....but the bowl swag might have persuaded me.

    Good on you! I was set to head to Shreveport, but the day after Christmas makes it difficult for me.

    Enjoy big D.

    Oh, I’m not going to the game.

    Can’t get time off, you have to request that week off 9-10 months in advance in my line of work.

    I was just saying if I was Bateman the bowl swag may have persuaded me.

    I think it was Riley indulging the other day who were talking about Zack Moss, speculating that he runs better when Williams is playing quarterback because Troy gives Zack the ball and doesn’t compete with him for running plays the way Huntley does. It also seems to me that Huntley is simply bound to get injured — missing a few games every season, like he did this year — if he keeps running as much as he does. Maybe the answer is for the coaches to dial Tyler’s running plays back — try to make the opposing team worry about him running, keeping them honest at all times so that they can’t cheat in coverage — but not send him sprinting into the secondary quite as often as he has been.

    Thoughts?

    Wow. West Virginia backup QB looks awful, so far. Almost as bad as our kick off team.

    I have a good friend who is at the game. His seats are four rows up basically at the 50 yard line. Cost him $20 a ticket. Is there even 500 people in the stadium?

    Happy Boxing Day Utahby5!

    As expected, attendance is indeed awful. Thanks, and I hope you had a great Christmas.

    Why do we line up all our gunners on the punt team to the right, when Wishnowski rolls to the right? It makes it so he is rolling right into 5 or 6 defenders.

    Double post. Hands of stone, like most of the receivers in this game.

    Hey, aren't flights from DC to Dallas cheap? How come you are not at the game?

    When I checked just after the bowl game announcement, flights were about $800 round trip.

    good play call fake pitch and Hundley runs it in. That is how Hundley should run.

    Jack Tuttle can start practicing that one

    Both offense and defense lines came to play today.

    Except for our C, with the low snaps.

    So that's why we don't throw to the TE.
