ALUF 1990 All-American

I am an unbridled optimist and I think you will be scared in 2018. This year

will have moments of wonderful offensive greatness and an adjustment period with some inconsistency. By November, nearly everyone on this board will openly acknowledge that Taylor is a lot better than Detmer. There will be at least a dozen CB threads in calendar year 2017 speculating/hoping that Taylor will soon be promoted to a "good" school.

Troy Taylor's offense scares me.

8/15/17 10:16pm

He has the keys to the car until his first turnover. No way KW will go

8/15/17 10:19pm

Absolutely agree. We shall see how the boy fares with 65k screaming fans + Whit

You are aware he coached at Cal and Colorado and played in the NFL?

Especially from a Coordinator with no FBS experience. Taylor's last FBS position was as TE coach under one Tom Holmoe

I'll bet there will be a huge learning curve for Utah.

None of that matters if they don't have a guy who can throw the ball. Utah has

Does anyone really believe KW has given the OC the keys to the car?

I remember KW visibly blowing a gasket on the sidelines when Urban Meyer

There is 0 chance Whit will sacrifice his defense to watch some FCS coach let the worst QB in the conference throw the

8/15/17 10:46pm

Worst QB in the conference? lol.

8/15/17 10:53pm

Who is worse?

8/15/17 10:53pm

Who's the Oregon State QB these days?

Williams's rankings from several different sites:

8/15/17 11:37pm

I thought I had heard that Huntley had gotten the nod but I see Williams is still #1 on the depth chart.

Refugee

8/16/17 8:42am

Nah. It's Williams. It was always going to be him, barring some kind of meltdown

8/16/17 10:34am

Meltdown to come...

icecougar

8/16/17 2:37pm

I think Williams is a pretty decent QB...definitely capable of doing some damage

doctorthunderpants

8/16/17 10:43am

decent enough to probably be 9th at best in the Pac this year

8/16/17 11:08am

The guy struggled to complete 53% of his passes w/ the luxury of an NFL line...

icecougar

8/16/17 2:47pm

Yeah, definitely doesn't bode well for him. I thought him to be mediocre at best

Not saying the guy is All American caliber, but he did have better stats than..

doctorthunderpants

8/17/17 9:47am

One had an NFL offensive line, the other didn't. And Williams lost that luxury

8/17/17 9:50am

Maybe not the worst. But middle of the Pac at best.

SpiffCoug

8/15/17 11:00pm

I haven't looked at the stats. Was he really sacked that many times?

Cougar Jazz Fan

8/15/17 11:28pm

Middle of the PAC is fair. Maybe bottom 40%. Not the worst.

8/15/17 11:32pm

The most contested spot on offense seems to be QB right now. They spin it....

Hawk in the 303

8/16/17 8:19am

You just described our WR situation perfectly.

shakinbaker

8/16/17 8:21am

Depends, was his OC wearing leather pants when he asked for the keys?

Kwhit will give Taylor the keys to the Yugo. No way he gives Taylor keys to the

According to this, KW still very much holds the keys to the car.

Ham

8/16/17 11:14am

With Carrington they now obviously have the WR's, but that's really it...

8/15/17 10:29pm

But do they have anyone who can get him the ball

BYU '80

8/15/17 11:12pm

Pretty good.

BYU will make great ik provement against the pass this year. The problem last

How do you feel about Eric Taylor?

You must frighten easily.

Others have made similar points but Whitt's "no big mistakes"

Adrielle

8/16/17 6:12am

His offense would have been scary 7-8 years ago before every team in CFB started

shakinbaker

8/16/17 6:51am

Wait wait wait wait wait, KW has given him the keys of the car

TheLoneCougar

8/16/17 7:14am

This is a scary year for Utah and Kyle.

YRocks

8/16/17 7:25am

Is it Taylor's offense, or Beau Baldwin's? He ran it at EWU before Taylor showed up. He's now OC at Cal also.

8/16/17 9:27am

EWU had a good offense before he ever got there. They averaged

theOnceler

8/16/17 10:06am

Do they even know who their starter is at QB?

CougarsFanSince80s

8/16/17 10:06am

Ktwitt isn't going to hand the keys to a first time D1 OC anymore than for Chow

I am an unbridled optimist and I think you will be scared in 2018. This year

ALUF 1990

Taylor could coach the Utes to 70 points against the Denver Broncos, and you

8/16/17 10:38am

You guys see what you want to see just like those you are calling out on here

8/16/17 11:40am

I'll believe that when I see it.

8/16/17 6:06pm

Do you believe now?

9/4/17 1:20pm

How about now?

9/10/17 9:57am

Lots of people on CB will criticize BYU. The meltdowns are one of my favorite

ALUF 1990

8/16/17 11:49am

Sure. Yewts say Erickson was going to be great, same for Chow, same for

We will find out who is right pretty soon. I get lots of insider reports and the

ALUF 1990

8/16/17 12:39pm

Same thing every year. Players gotta say nice things about coaches.

Coogar2

8/16/17 2:10pm

Nope. The O and D players are both happier with this offense than any time in

ALUF 1990

8/16/17 5:29pm

Wow and I thought we had old players

Oldcougfan

8/16/17 2:36pm

I feel like we hear this every year. Probably because Kwhit hires a new OC every

Bostonblue

8/16/17 10:35am

Well, in our defense, every year that OC at least beats byu.

8/16/17 10:39am

your defense scored like 35 points in the Vegas bowl. I'd stick with that.

Bostonblue

8/16/17 10:42am

Where does that OC work today?? Not at Yewtah.

Coogar2

8/16/17 12:31pm

Yep. Yewts keep hoping that the next OC is the magic elixir, but so far NOT

Coogar2

8/16/17 12:31pm

throwing 65% of time with a QB who has not separated himself from the pack of 3?

Big Daddy D

8/16/17 11:10am

And with a QB who only completed 53.1% of his passes last year.

SpiffCoug

8/16/17 11:10am

Didn't KW give the keys to each OC the last 7 years?

MajorZeus

8/16/17 11:10am

Definitely a Yewt Troll.....just look at his name

I agree. For some reason, I think they finally got this one right.
