BYU QUIT ON ROSCOE

That’s all you need to know. BYU Quit during this game. Oh And Heaps is a freaking pansy.

quitting is putting is mildly...

If they lay down in the 3rd quarter against us just imagine the rest of their games that mean bupkis… until it gets down to “WAC” season and they need to get bowl eligible….

Roscoe is a fraud!

Worst “coaching” I’ve ever seen… and that includes Jim Boylen.

Also, like I said last week, BYU has no heart… especially now that Utah has ripped it out and shat all over it!

BYU will tailspin now

The only thing they had left to play for was the “State Championship” That’s now gone. They may put up a bit of a fight for the USU game for “revenge” but the rest of the season they will tailspin.

Not as bad as Crowton...

…but similar in a lot of ways. Roscoe seems to manage to win the games he should, for the most part. He beats the lesser opponents…and finishes strong….

…but he always has a game like this early in the year. Think UCLA, Arizona, FSU, USU from last year…and now us.

If I’m a BYU fan…or even Holmoe…I’m contacting Leach. I don’t care about his “image”…BYU needs a winning coach, not a “Peter Priesthood” like Bronco. Winning covers up a lot of “ugly”.

Roscoe sucks in the 3rd game of the year.

He’s now 1-6 in the 3rd game of the year during his career.

That his teams struggle against good teams...

Generally you play good teams in the second or third weeks. Bronco has survived solely on beating cream puff MWC teams like New Mexico and CSU.

I don't know...

Seems like they often play tougher teams early… Texas & Oklahoma to name a couple.

by -FeloniousMonk on Sep 17, 2011 11:48 PM MDT up reply actions  

His losses

I would say what it means, is that he can’t adjust when good teams have had a chance to review game film. But considering Roscoe doesn’t make in game adjustments why should we expect mid week adjustments.

Your analysis was spot on

You noted that BYU wilted and wa sout of their game emntirely allowing a mediocre Texas team to come back, while we fought like hell regardless of our play and that showed in this game when BYU screwed up and then just rolle dover and said “I want my mommies.”

Great analysis, and baby, our defense is for real.

Hard to say . . .

BYU will probably beat up on some weak teams at the end of this season, and say how great they are. Next year will be the same story “Best group of young men I have ever, I would have to say, coached. Our goal, is of course, to win, I would say, a national, in my humble opinion, championship as it always been, provided we execute.”

Wynn got his confidence back

Wynn looked good. Good zip on his passes. The Out that Dres turned into six was a nice pass, not to mention the one to Murphy at the end of the first half.

Not to mention being tough coming back after that drilling he took.

I like our odds

Arizona can’t run the ball and I think we’ll have an edge against their OL. Not sure how good their D is but they have given up over 35, two weeks in a row (granted, to top 10 teams).

I think the big game will be AZ State and Washington will be tough be we at least get them at home coming off a bye.

by UteinBrooklyn on Sep 17, 2011 11:57 PM MDT up reply actions  

Nobody really knows how good arizona is..

I can’t get a handle on them, they’ve played two really good teams and lost but I think we expected this, our D has gotten torched, it looks like injuries really took a toll, all we have basically is an amazing passing game, and not much else…

by WildcatUte on Sep 18, 2011 3:47 AM MDT up reply actions  

Arizona

Looked like the better team a lot of the time against Stanford. I think we could be an 11-1 team. Looking down the schedule, I don’t a see team I don’t think we can beat… still flying high from last night, but I don’t see a team I don’t think we should beat, either.

by Joseph Silverzweig on Sep 18, 2011 11:14 AM MDT up reply actions  

No run game

I know White broke off some big runs with the score 37-10, but until they can run the ball against a quality opponent when the game isn’t in question, I won’t be convinced. Kicking game could come back to bite us too.

by UteinBrooklyn on Sep 17, 2011 11:33 PM MDT up reply actions  

Not sure I agree

White gets stronger as the game progress. According to the coaches, that’s his M.O. Utah’s O-line wore out BYU’s D-line, and White turned up the heat. I think we can expect to see much larger second half rushing numbers for the rest of the year from this offense.

by RunninUtes30 on Sep 18, 2011 11:54 AM MDT up reply actions  

We will see...

rolling him out is a good thing,,, he looked good in the pocket in the second 1/2. He needed a big win!! I like how the run game suddenly emerged… I’m just scared it’s because BYU quit.

by Ute95 on Sep 17, 2011 11:32 PM MDT up reply actions  

They pointed out at Utah’s first series in the second half that BYU’s DL was slowing down and getting winded. As the game wore on it became more obvious. White has such burst and heart, I hope they can really get him going early in games. It will make the offense so much more dangerous.

by UteinBrooklyn on Sep 17, 2011 11:50 PM MDT up reply actions  

Utah definitely wore 'em down.

Plus, I think BYU has major conditioning issues. This is 3 games now where they ran out of steam in the second half. I don’t think Roscoe Mendenpenis (Fletch, anyone?) knows how to manage the players’ energy or motivate.

by -FeloniousMonk on Sep 17, 2011 11:54 PM MDT up reply actions  

Doesn’t seem like they have a good rotation. And they couldn’t run the ball so were on the field a lot.

by UteinBrooklyn on Sep 17, 2011 11:59 PM MDT up reply actions  

Yup

Maybe Roscoe Geldinghall should have used that extra practice time for conditioning rather than cancelling it because according to him, the Cougs were “ahead of schedule”.

What a freakin clown that guy is.

Whit is a second half runner

He got better against MSU, USC, and BYU in the second half. Even when getting stoned early against USC, BYU. That’s honestly a great type of runner to have.

Wynn was not that great

He hit a couple wide ass open guys. Watch that game again, he threw some unbelievably bad ones.

Go ahead watch that game again

He also thread the needle on some tight throws and showed good velocity and arm strength on some deeper passes.

Was he perfect? Nope but if you think he played bad, than apparently you don’t know much about football.

by UnHoly Ram on Sep 18, 2011 9:10 AM MDT up reply actions  

Really?

I have seen him throw it deep and he hits so few, in three years now, that I am still concerned.

This isn't the same Throw it deep Offense of the past few years

Even if Wynn had never hurt his shoulder you weren’t going to see the deep passes like in years pass.

That said two passes in particular. The Out pass to Andersen, and the 30 yarder across the field to Murphy were two throws that showed his shoulder is just fine. They may not be the 60 yard passes, but both of those throws were across the field which is just as hard, if not harder, than a fly route.

Cheated...

I feel cheated… BYU quit… I don’t know if Utah’s defense is THAT good when it comes to taking the ball away (two great games in a row) or if John White IV is a good running back (before the 4th he had like 14 carries for 18 yards)… BYU was blowing it up in the first quarter and I fully expect Davonte Christopher to miss the entire week of practice recovering from this game.

I was encouraged by Wynn’s play the second half, but is that also the result of BYU giving up? I’m just frustrated, and I expected MUCH more from BYU.

by BetterasIgetolder on Sep 17, 2011 11:34 PM MDT reply actions

That said, I think Utah is getting things sorted, but there’s still some issues: kicking, o-line, Wynn(?).

I feel cheated by BYU. We still need to work out a lot of kinks in our game and we didn’t get a chance to do that after they quit. I’m not sure the last time I saw a team lay down like that. There will be some BYU commits asking Jebus for an out tomorrow at church.

I don't feel cheated at all...

Our defense proved last week wasn’t a fluke with some huge turnovers that CHANGED the game. BYU quit, yes, but not until the game was over anyway. If they hadn’t quit, maybe the Utes win 35-17 or some other score – but this defense worked it tonight.

Thoughts

I could just hear all of the Utah fans going crazy when Wynn threw an INT in the 2nd quarter. I’m glad he redeemed himself on the hookup with Dres.

And just like last week we couldn’t establish a run game in the first half again. Sure White broke away for some big runs with Utah up 37-10. We’re going to have to be multidementional or Wynn will just end up getting blitzed all game. And if he goes down… When Wynn went down I thought, there goes the season. The line between good and bad is small and I just thought how thin, depth wise, this team is on offense. Anyone know if Bergstrom returned?

The kicking game scares me too. He missed an extra point and a chip shot FG. Didn’t matter in this game, but ask Boise State how important FG kickers are.

I’m liking Utah’s defense more and more. They bend but don’t really give up big plays. In fact, they force turnover after turnover.

Overall, what a surprising game. Great to get a good one like that. HAHA

by Utah-UCLA alum on Sep 18, 2011 1:20 AM MDT reply actions  

I'm Disgusted with the Refs

Two of those shots looked like intentional head hunting and deliberate helmet to helmet. Another helmet shot on Chappuis on that interception when he was halfway on the ground and the TDS lineman head planted him. But they give Chaz a flag for hitting a guy out of bounds when it loooks like he’s trying to manage his balance on the line?

All night they were slow with the whistle to end a play, well after forward motion had stopped. It’s like they’re trying to promote injuries.

I'll have to watch the replay again.

The TDS player was barely pushed out of bounds, but he was trying to rover his balance and stay inside the line. As a defender, if you see someone acting like they’re inbounds ( and if the ref still hasn’t blown the whistle, as they were slow all night, ) you push him out. Rowe hit him hard ( thought for sure it was Walker or Martinez, ) but I don’t remember anything stupid about it.

is a complete degenerate. The guy has ZERO accountability. He was the biggest reason BYU got thumped tonight but still refuses to take responsibility.

After the game, he made excuses up the wazoo… saying “if we didn’t have so many turnovers, it’s a different game.”

That’s like me saying, “if we would’ve scored 3 more TDs we would’ve beaten Boise State in the Vegas Bowl.”

The point is… you DID have all those turnovers Heaps. You played terribly tonight and your team was humiliated.

Time for you to take some responsibility and be a leader instead of an excuse maker. No class.

This is true

Even cougarboard – The hub of the most staunch and delusional BYU fans out there – Are crucifying Heaps and calling him out similar to TomahawkRed.

Well . . .

. . .if he didn’t run his mouth so much, it wouldn’t hurt so bad.

BYU will win some games, you watch, and Heaps might yet have a great career, but he needs to grow up or he will always be just a classless, dickhead guy like Hall.

good teams in Utah – Utes and Aggies :)

Was at a birthday party up here in Idaho and suddenly a big whoop went through all the parents and some of the kids. I thought it was the OU going down or something like that – but it was the final score of the Holy War.

I will root for Alabama or Ohio State when they play the Chinese...maybe.

How do you give out a game ball in this game?

So many people stepped up it is hard to choose. I think it has to go to the defense because they played a full game; however, there are still some great candidates on offense.

Well, big Congrats to you on such an enjoyable and humiliating win.

In the past I always regarded this game with only passing interest based on my inherent distrust of devotional schools. And even though the few mormons I’ve met were quite nice, there is just something about the brainwashing aspect that rubs me the wrong way.

But this time, you guys are part of the conference, and I always pull for conference in OOC games. God help me, I even will root for Furd, U$C and Uclol. My reasoning is that family comes first, and if you look good, we look good.

Thanks for making us look good.

The Low Road

I too pull for the Pac-12 schools when they play OOC games, but after taking a little itty bitty peek at the U$C blog and after having read some comments like " PHUCK the rest of the conference in their OOC games", I may temper which Pac-12 teams I root for.

Conrgats on getting to 3-0.

by Utah-UCLA alum on Sep 18, 2011 4:00 PM MDT up reply actions  

I totally understand the sentiment you have. My experience with both U$C and Ucla fans has been spotty at best. In fact, during the Ucla game against Texas yesterday, while I was really rooting for the bruins, I will admit to feeling a bit of contentment at knowing how miserable Ucla fans would be.

It’s really sad because I grew up a Ucla fan, and have many good friends who are Ucla alums. But recently I’ve come across way too many Ucla fans who have soured me on them.

Maybe you and some others may turn that back around :)

Anyway, didn’t mean to hijack this thread. This is about Utah and revelling in their destruction of the mormons. Yay for them!

I too have a spotty experience with UCLA fans when dealing with blogs. Guess being a half breed pisses off some of the pure breeds.

So since then I have decided to waste spend my valuable time with only certain blogs down to earth friendly types. =)

by Utah-UCLA alum on Sep 18, 2011 8:37 PM MDT up reply actions  

Thanks

Really appreciate your comment, but please don’t make the mistake of so many BYU fans and meld the religion and football team together. I don’t mean any disrespect, but I happen to be mormon and actively strong in the faith as well as a Utah fan through and through. Go ahead and dislike BYU, be my guest, but please be respectful to my faith. BYU and the LDS church are not one in the same. Again, no offense intended! Thanks!

by Oregon Ute on Sep 18, 2011 4:26 PM MDT up reply actions  

No offense taken, and I apologize if I offended.

As I said, I have a few mormon acquaintances, and they are really very nice people. And I don’t have any biased or negative feelings toward the mormon faith. I view it in the same way as any other faith, from catholicism (as I was raised), to hinduism, to buddhism.

My feelings were more about having a University based on a religion. Regardless of religion, I just find that a place of higher education is not the right environment for a faith, just as I find a church is not the right place for a classroom.

But that’s just my personal opinion, and that certainly doesn’t mean it’s the only valid one around.

Enjoy your victory, and I sincerely hope Utah can win every remaining game except against Cal. Not for nothing, but you guys are easily my second favorite team in the conference.

I share the same opinion, that things get messy with religious based schools. Thanks for the classy comment! Hope Cal rips the huskies on their home field so that they have no juice for our place the week after!

by Oregon Ute on Sep 18, 2011 4:51 PM MDT up reply actions  

Well

Universities started as seminaries and higher learning actually came entirely ourt of religious training. It’s uhhh “nice” that people think secular learning is all there is, should be left to its self, etc., but there is more stupidity, inanity, and absolute bullshit in any University my brother than there is in religion. If you don’t think so, sit through a half dozen meetings in a university sometime or take time to read up on how much research and education is fluff to keep professors employed.

I love University and I am still in college and never want to stop taking classes, but the biggest lying sacks of shit I have ever seen and met were so called scientists, I’ve never met a person as self deceived in religion as I have in academia and science.

I am trained in both the sciences and in the humanities and I love both literature and the study of causal relationhips. Your experience may be varied, in my experiene most folks come out of college with a cutessy attitude toward religion becaus ethey have simply been indoctrinated anew, not because they actually have a truth they can say trumps any old ones.

That's your problem.

Lawyers (like me) need “scientists” to make stuff up to support their side. Whether it’s construction defect whores or medical whores or “valuation” whores (the worst, in my experience), those aren’t scientists. The bias is too great.

A lot of Ute fans also have a hard time separating the religion from the school.

I grew up non-LDS in Utah and it was the self-righteous attitudes of the BYU fans, and the fact that many of the LDS members I had dealings with acted with that same attitude, that made me a life-long Ute fan. Back then, as a “non-Mo” in this state, one had no choice but to root for Utah. It wasn’t just a personal preference, but also a reaction against the predominant stifling culture.

Nowadays, of course, I try to keep it all separate, but there will always be some resentment. It still bothers me that our state’s flagship public institution hasn’t gotten the private (and public, truth be known) backing so many other state schools enjoy because it’s had to compete with an institution run by the predominant religion. Utah (the school) has done some amazing things, considering that disadvantage, but just imagine what it could accomplish if it had the private monetary base of BYU.

And don’t get me started on my feelings towards BYU owning a PBS station, in addition to BYU TV. This market does not need two PBS affiliates when there’s barely enough public support to fund one… yeah, anyway, as you can see, I’ll always be a little resentful.
