Wynn's arm feels good, Blechen gets stung in the mouth & receivers drop the ball
Utah kicked off its fall camp today with Jordan Wynn making an appearance, throwing the ball and feeling pretty good.
That's what we want to hear.
Brian Blechen, though, well his throat is hurting a bit after a bee flew into his mouth and stung his throat. That had to sting.
He'll be all right.
As for the actual practice itself? Kyle Whittingham liked the intensity, didn't like the dropped passes by the receivers.
If you remember the Las Vegas Bowl, you certainly don't want to be reading quotes like this:
"Way too many drops by the wideouts and tight ends,"
Of course, it is the first day, so let's not hit that panic button just yet.
Whittingham also decided this year they'll pump in irritating music to help get the team in a bad mood hoping they work harder for it. This is what we call the Noriega Effect and I can neither confirm or deny that Rebecca Black's Friday was the song of choice.
Overall, it wasn't a bad start to camp. No major injuries (outside Blechen's throat), though Anthony Denham did sit out with an injured hamstring, Wynn's back and it's always good seeing red and white on the football field again.

RE: "no major injuries"
Lya reported that Anthony Denham had to sit out the media exposure part of practice due to a hamstring injury, and that Chow was “clearly frustrated” at Denham’s injury. Hopefully this isn’t a major injury, and just that Denham just hasn’t practiced this hard in his life and needs to adjust.
I'm hoping it's not major...
Sounds like he does need to adjust and hopefully will be good to go next week!
It's too bad about Denham
I think he’s going to be our most exciting receiver, judging by the comments by Jordan Wynn and Chow lately. He apparently was impressive before the injury, hopefully not a severe tear. Man is a beast physically at 6’4" 230+
i know its nothing really to be laughing about but the annoying music being rebecca black is so funny!
Are you sure he was safe? It looked like an out to the entire statium. Well bad call Blue.

I Had To Search For That Song
Being as I’ve never heard it. I’m now very, very sorry I did.
If anyone found my snowboarding gloves after storming the field following the 2004 TDS game, I want them back!
I believe you've just been punk'd
But Whitt says his mix is all rock from “pre-Y2K”. That means no hip-hop which is likely the warmup playlist, since the players pick that.
Not Completely
Jazzy did mention it was annoying, I just didn’t know to what level.

it is a really annoying song, but i guess if it is all songs they didnt grow up to than it is just as good

I've seen video of Denham
And it’s no wonder he didn’t have to practice very hard; he absolutely dominated JC and college. He’s huge and sneaky-quick for his size. I think we’ll see more TDs and less FGs in the red zone this season (assuming he gets better).

a very long day if you are a short defensive back.
No longer tweeting due to an overload of spam. please check out my blog sometime @ bigbenstechnicalfoul.blogspot.com for my thoughts on sports, religion, politics, family life and a host of other random stuff.
Just because Denham injured his hamstring doesn't mean he doesn't practice hard
Kind of a stretch to make that assumption. Of course a lack of conditioning increases injury risk, but an injury doesn’t necessarily come because of a lack of conditioning.
Dolphins and sharks are natural enemies. Dolphins are like, "Quit eating us," and sharks are like, "Stop smiling all the time, you morons."

With Hammies the opposite could be the cause
Sometimes you can pull a Hammy by going Too Hard
Smash mouth
I am glad that we will still use some form of the spread.
Playing ‘downhill’ man up football is not all that easy to do with teams that have more talent like USC, Cal. etc….
I hope Coach Whit stays innovative like he did against Bama. …Can you say no huddle? (e.g. Oregon, Tulsa, Buffalo Bills, 2007 New England Patriots)
As I learned from Sun Tze’s the classic book – The Art of War, keep your opponents guessing and you will increase your chances of success.
This year is going to be interesting and great.
i cant stand that song
It makes me want to punch a wall! Go Utes! September can’t come soon enough.
