Between this, Covey and Whit, Taylor has lost the team. 3 votes of no confidence. Particularly troubling is that it's coming from offensive players.

I imagine the players were asking themselves why, after driving all the way past midfield on Moss’s back, they’re throwing on 2nd and 2.Originally Posted by concerned

“True, we [lawyers] build no bridges. We raise no towers. We construct no engines. We paint no pictures - unless as amateurs for our own principal amusement. There is little of all that we do which the eye of man can see. But we smooth out difficulties; we relieve stress; we correct mistakes; we take up other men's burdens and by our efforts we make possible the peaceful life of men in a peaceful state.”

This is my new theory, based on nothing other than it is what I think I would do in KW's position. He will give Troy Taylor one more year to develop a competent offense. If we are this bad at the end of next year, KW will retire. He wont want to go thru yet another coordinator and start all over again on offense. It won't be worth it. (At least it wouldn't for me.)
I think throwing on 2nd or 3rd and short is pretty high percentage for us. The problem is when we get nothing on first and second and then have 3rd and long. We rarely convert those.
This feels like a bad thing.

This is concerning, since our OC is a qb guru, supposedly
Pac-12 QBR

5. Browning, UW 62.5
6. Costello, Stan 59
7. Blount, OSU 55.9

10. Daniels, USC 53.6
11. Huntley, Utah 39.8
12. Thompson-Robinson, UCLA 23
TT's play calling reminds me of Crowton's offense at byu: there doesn't seem to be any sort of method to it. I'm the only Ute fan I know that thought A-Rod was fine, any shortcoming during his tenure was due to an average QB and well below average WRs. We still have those troubles but TT's play calling is making those issues worse. Dumping A-Rod was a mistake.
Huntley can't make an accurate throw more than 20 yards downfield, his only deep throw against UW was picked.
The Utes need to be a power run team. We've only had two decent receivers during our PAC years, Carrington who was only here for one year & Covey who is going to be broken in half in the next game or two.
If Tuttle isn't starting next year, he's not nearly as good as we hyped him up to be.
Defense looks good though.
I'll see your ARod and raise you a BJohnson. I didn't want either of them to be fired.
Huntley is not the most accurate downfield passer, but this is college football, you don't have to be the most accurate downfield passer to have some success. He just needs to make a good decision and let it rip. That will turn into a completion sometimes (happened against NIU, and it happened for Shelley against Weber). We should still try a few times per game. It keeps the defense honest, and when it works, the payoff is huge.
I would say that "lost the team" 3 games into the season is a bit of a stretch, but even Kyle admitted during his press conference today that things need to be simplified.
“It only ends once. Anything that happens before that is just progress.”
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.
