Huntley has a broken collarbone and is out for the season.

Other then being butt hurt he was not QB2 I never understood why Tuttle didn't finish out the season with Utah as it was almost a guarantee that Huntley would get hurt at some point in the season. If nothing else Tuttle could have used it to learn.Quote:

I’m sure Tuttle (or his Dad) is questioning the decision now. If Shelley doesn’t play well or gets hurt then Chase Hansen or Britain Covey will be playing quarterback.
Drew Lisk (redshirt sophomore) is now QB2. you might see Covey get some training as an emergency QB, but for better or worse Utah's future is now in Shelley's hands.Quote:

FWIW - Lisk was a walk on and was awarded a scholarship after 2018 spring ball when he led the white team to a win.
I heard Whitt mention those guys, but yeah I guess Drew is the #2 now.
Utah drops completely out of the AP and is 24th in the coaches. From 15 to out. Wow.

Meet Jason Shelley, Utah’s starting Quarterback
https://www.blocku.com/2018/11/4/180...ng-quarterback
Always remember Alex Smith was QB2 behind Brett Elliott. Elliott was the starter in 2002 and was the starter for the first two games of 2003 until breaking his wrist. If Elliott had not of been injured there would be no first round NFL pick Alex Smith.
Can lightening strike twice? Shelley must have a descent game considering he beat out highly rated Tuttle for QB2.
If Shelley finishes out the season undefeated with a Rose Bowl win will injury prone Huntley ever see the field again?

And it's November.
I gotta be realistic and agree that Utah will be 6 - 5 heading into the Holy War.
And play again in the Vegas bowl? LOLQuote:

How about dragging him to altitude and playing at home. RES is always a difficult place to play. Sea level teams have always hated to play in SLC.Quote:

Utah is favored by 4.5 at home.
Who you got this week?
I really fretted over this one.
If this was being played in October I would take Utah no question. But it's November, and Utah has a nasty habit of losing in sprees late in the season. I think last week's demoralizing and embarrassing loss in Tempe knocked them down a few pegs as well. As I was researching this showdown, the following points became apparent:
- Utah and Washington have a very similar defense -- in fact, their defenses are ranked side by side in yards against (Washington at 16th with 313.5 yards against, and Utah at 17th with 316.3 yards against). Oregon beat Washington by 3 points this season.
- Last year Oregon smoked Utah by a score of 41 - 20, led by backup quarterback Braxton Burmeister, who threw 47 yards, one TD and no interceptions. Justin Herbert was out with...get this....a broken collarbone.
- Oregon dominated Utah with their run game, led by Royce Freeman, who had 139 yards, and Tony Brooks-James, who had 105 yards and a TD. Royce Freeman now plays for the Denver Broncos, but Tony Brooks-James is still one of their leading running backs. Once again, our vaunted run defense was pushed aside by Oregon's superior O-line.
- The Ducks have probably changed a few things since last season they had a different coach (Willie Taggart).
- The Utes just couldn't get the offense rolling. Moss had just 53 yards rushing, although they did get 130 receiving yards out of Darren Carrington. Huntley threw for 293 yds, 2 TDs and no interceptions. Carrington had a key fumble that Oregon ran back for a TD.
- All of this is to say that Oregon has roughly the same cast as last year when they destroyed Utah by 20 points -- only this year they have Justin Herbert at the helm instead of a backup freshman.
- But on the other hand, Oregon sucks on the road lately, losing in Arizona by 29 points, and to Washington State by 14 points.
-Oregon has some key defensive injuries, and one of their best lineman Jake Hansen will miss half of the game due to suspension.
- Shelley is untested, and this is a key game. If he can deal with the pressure and deliver the Utes might have a chance. But this is uncharted territory, really. We haven't really seen what Shelley is capable of.
I really want to call the upset here, taking Oregon over a regrouping Utah squad. But I think (hope) Utah comes up with a much needed win here. If they lose this one their South Division title hopes are crushed. They have to know this.
Utah 27 ~ Ducks 24

I’m picking the Utes by 3 touchdowns. The Hawks will put the hurt on the Ducks.
38 - 17
Word on the street is Zack Moss injured his knee in practice and is out for the season. My prediction must change.
https://www.google.com/amp/s/syndica...njury.amp.html
^^^This changes everything.
Utah 20
Ducks 28
God is punishing us for passing Prop 2. I had family obligations tomorrow so I sold my tickets, I think I may be glad I did now. No fun watching a home blowout.
I feel really bad for Moss. Probably went from a 2-3 round pick to who knows what now. I had family obligations tomorrow so I sold my tickets, I think I may be glad I did now.
I think Utah rises up and gets it done tomorrow.
Utah 24 - Oregon 21
Without doubt Utah will win big over the Ducks... probably by 21 points or more.... all three phases of their game will be clicking like clockwork....
How do I know this is such a sure thing you ask?!?
...because that's the only way to truly crush our hopes and dreams when the Buffalos beat Utah like a redheaded stepchild the following week.
ROFLMAO

Too many field goals...
This is one of those games where it didn't go how you predicted but you're still very pleased with the outcome.
Good for the 2nd stringers! They must be on cloud 9 right now. Especially Shyne - over 170 yards rushing -- Wow!! :eek2:
What ya talking about?!?Quote:

18 straight for Matt Gay.
Jason Shelley looked really good considering it was his first D1 start and it was against a quality team. I can see why Tuttle bailed. Now let's see how he does next week away from the friendly confines of RES.
Utah really needs to work on their red zone package. That was disgraceful.
Climb-Utah.com
Shyne doesn’t have the power and explosiveness that Moss did in the hole to punished and steamroll people. Hopefully he can get this to some degree. They left 12-16 points in red zone alone...inside the 10!
Four drives inside the 5 and they couldn't punch it in. Four field goals for 12 points instead of 28. This game would have been a beat down if they had of score TD's on half of those. Oregon doesn't even have a great defense.... Pathetic...

Anyone else watch the game last night on the PACN? Perhaps the best football commercial ever....

Oh no doubt they will raise prices. They have just about raised them every year since 08. But I still pay less than $800 total for 3 seats, which isn't bad. I'm just lucky that in the North End Zone, I don't have to make a Crimson Club donation along with my ticket cost. I have a vendor that hooks me up 1 game a year with 50 yard line seats on the 8th row, and when I do the math for tickets there, it is pretty damn steep. The ironic thing is that I don't really like watching the game from there. It is too filled with 80 year olds who get annoyed if you stand and who rarely give much more than a golf clap. Easily the most quiet and subdued part of the stadium. Give me lunatics in the North End Zone over the geriatrics ward.Quote:

Probably what is more needed than seats is a better locker room/field entrance. Recruits dig that stuff, and the inflatable tunnel they use now is pretty cheesy.
