Utah Football Must Fire SOMEONE After BYU Loss: Brandon Rose Injury Stupidity, Every Big 12 Pick

[@howardsmith9342]

Isaac Wilson must be so encouraged that they would rather play a one-legged QB than him.

[@JJLoLogo]

[@michaelclairforet5031]

I wonder if Wilson will transfer to another school having been passed over. Perhaps he'll follow his brother. Maybe, maybe not, maybe to a P2/7 ½ school. Boise State? Utah State?

[@CryptoSurfer]

Why is the university of Utah silent on their athletic director. No statements at all?

[@AmmonRogers-w4q]

Years ago during a byu vs Nebraska taysom hill has a lisfranc injury in his foot too in the first half. He asked if he played could it get worse and the doctors said no. He played the rest of the first half with that injury and then had surgery and didn't play thr rest of theme year. Byu played its freshman qb in the second half and tanner Mangum threw a hail Mary to win the game.

[@tannerharding2156]

Those first few Tanner Mangum games were magical

[@leightonanderson]

Key difference is they didn't have him come back for the 2nd half.

[@StAnBu84-KM3AGN]

Didn’t Taysom Hill have a lisfranc tear in his last season in the first game at Nebraska? He played a quarter after the injury and was considered super man. Lisfranc tears are no joke say those that have had one.

[@DrFunkadunk]

This was the kids first career start and his most impactful moments in the first half was when he tucked the ball and ran with it. I did not expect renewing the Holy War would break Utah brains so badly.

[@megacj84]

In recent seasons BYU has had similar problems with losing key players to injury. In response, BYU made changes in its strength and conditioning and nutrition staff.

[@fringeelements]

It also says a lot about the coaching staff's faith in Wilson. First, they preferred a clearly injured Cam Rising to Wilson, then Brandon rose with a metal foot to Wilson. This program just has zero faith in Wilson it seems.

[@TheFranchiseCA]

Wilson was also injured, though less seriously.

[@SenorHomeslice]

He’s also a freshman. He needs seasoning, and it shows.

[@briggsbaldwin2406]

Taysom Hill had a Lisfranc injury that ended his season when he was playing for Bronco Mendanhall-it’s a pretty bad injury. I hope Brandon recovers. That’s not fun. He’s a good guy

[@stevephillips7884]

My best friend Mike McGarry wanted BYU to lose all their games. I wanted Utah to win all except when they played the Cougars, never bothered our friendship, we played all the sports. Mike's sister Mary's kid was Matt Payne BYU'S great kicker, they never mentioned Matt's Grandpa Barney McGarry's photo is next to the office door of the head coach of Utah, the legend of Utah football played for the Cleveland Rams.

[@robjeezy5000]

As a lifelong BYU fan that married into the most diehard Utes family ever, I’ve seen this rivalry bring out the worst in people. I’ve met fans on both sides that are awesome. I’ve met fans on both sides that are intolerable.

[@johnfaris5376]

Frankly, I don’t know why wit tolerates it. He brought Utah massive success, he has one bad year, and many are calling for his head. He might just make it easy for everybody and quit, I wouldn’t blame him

[@DerkSpringer]

As a Ute fan I think that the team and the loudest “fan” voices have had the same problem at the start of the season called overconfidence we were supposed to go into the big 12 as a powerhouse. We had the best qb an awesome offense and defense and I think they had a chip on their shoulder and needed the wake up call. And boy did we get it. I really hope this year shows Utah this is not the old PAC12 and that we need to get back to the old style play.

[@lukehoff3623]

Utah being having one of the top medical programs in the west is quite ironic but in all seriousness people need to be held accountable for jeopardizing these kids dreams

[@NFLclipsnhighlights]

I wouldn’t say it is a top medical program in the west. Maybe in the Mountain west.

[@ronr6450]

It's not a bad program, but not a "top" program either. Can't say that about the football team, though. :)

[@lukehoff3623]

@@NFLclipsnhighlights fair I was being a bit generous but still a very fine medical program

[@sgsheff]

With a lisfranc injury you can't injure it more and make it worse but it's extremely painful and nearly impossible to do without pain injections etc. In 2015 BYU started their season at Nebraska with a Senior Taysom Hill in incredible shape both running and throwing. He was picking apart Nebraska and on an easy touchdown run where he nearly walked into the endzone he had a freak accident lisfranc injury. He tried to continue to play but eventually decided not to and Tanner Magnum finished the game. Taysom later had another ankle injury and surgery. I feel like it's only in the lore of BYU vs Utah for Utah's best playing QB to only play against BYU.

Don't fire people for entertaing us. Keep it coming. When I grew up every year when my Cougars played Utah and Utah State we usually lost, but bones were broken , not joking. One year the Sooners were #1, Utah State was ranked 21st, beat Utah, beat BYU 42-14, Oklahoma beat the Aggies 49-0. End of the year Sooners said Utah State was the hardest hitting team they played all year.

[@Bob-gi9nt]

Lisfranc recovery time after surgery is 6-12 months. For an athlete it's probably longer than that to get back to 100%.

[@stevephillips7884]

Drake, so glad you got to come see it for yourself. Love your insights, because you live it and love what you do. Your enthusiasm is contagious. Pop's sister married our favorite uncle from Savannah area. Drove buses in LA raised 10 kids there, no exaggeration, 100 foster children. They were saints. Family of 13 kids raised in Georgia. Oh an alcoholic brother lived there, too. Pop's sister taught school, when asked if she believed in birth control said of course we tried to have 12.

[@CrGrandstaff]

Thanks! For the morning entertainment!

[@Kimmer]

Kyle Whittingham is a great defensive coach, but his judgement of quarterbacks and offense has always been suspect. Utah historically just doesn't have great offensive teams very often. On top of that, they clearly have a leadership problem with the AD and administration which may be partially responsible for the PAC12 collapse. The behavior of the University leadership and fans are simply embarrassing this year due to arrogance! The culture at BYU is great which is why they will continue to have long term success.

[@keyyanarshad7321]

“Hey coach. My foot was severed off…”😂

[@SenorHomeslice]

“Hey coach, I’ve been turned into a cow. Can I go home?”

[@booshday]

And they scored a huge zero points in the second half. Utes are spiraling down the drain.

[@fringeelements]

And zero points in the 1st quarter. Though in the second half Brandon was foot-less. My guess is they "saw something" and exploited the heck out of it in the 2nd quarter, BYU adjusted at the half. Don't ask me to look at the film to see what it was - I'm not that guy.

[@samuelrussell5760]

@@fringeelements I don't know exactly either, but it really felt like the linebackers stepped up for BYU in the second half. Stopping the run, getting tackles in the backfield, and also helping in coverage. The linebackers were making the right decisions in the second half.

[@ericlund2909]

As a diehard Utah fan, the question is where are the adults in the program? Everyone knows kids in their late teens and early twenties want to play irrespective of their situation. They want to play if they're hurt, they want to paly for their teammates, the fans, for NIL money, etc. But someone on the coaching staff has step up as the adult in the program, and say, you know what, this injury is too severe. You're done. You're not playing anymore because doing so will have a long-term adverse impact on your health. The next guy on the depth chart is now going in. And the coaches obviously had to know he was injured. The fact the athletic trainers were giving him painkillers and put a steel insole in his cleat coupled with the fact they scaled back the offensive plays in the second half because he couldn't perform them on the field. I mean c'mon!

[@cameronauernig]

Under armor is the problem. Both for injuries as well as recruiting.

[@best1213best]

Just curious, how so? I didn't think the brand of their gear had anything to do with recruiting, maybe you can enlighten me

[@stoopadre820]

BYU fan here. I don't love Utah, but I don't think this kind of rhetoric is good for either side. I think there are not-so-great fans in just about every fanbase. I have held some resentment for some things both Utah fans and administration have done, and I think the attitude they had coming to the Big XII was off-putting. But this rivalry has become way too toxic, and I hope we BYU fans can be better about treating everyone, perhaps especially Utes fans, more graciously despite our grievances.

[@michaelclairforet5031]

Lisfranc injury is a year. Taysom Hill at BYU had one, out a year. Other QBs have also had them, out a year. Lisfranc (midfoot) injuries result if bones in the midfoot are broken or ligaments that support the midfoot are torn. The severity of a Lisfranc injury can vary widely - from a simple injury involving one midfoot joint to a complex injury involving many midfoot joints and broken bones.

Drake please do your homework. It was 6 or 7 years ago mark Harlan who utterly despises BYU. After a hard fought basketball game at Marriott center. He made a public statement about BYU will never play Utah again. It's fan base cheered. It fueled a pac 12 bully. They canceled scheduled football games and all sports volleyball track even baseball. That's why I knew this same conference love story would be short lived. Boy was it ever. 5 years ago. I think. BYU beat USC and Oregon in all they beat 5 PAC schools and Utah only 4 yes BYU had a better non conference record than Utah. That too swept under the carpet. Oh we heard PAC 12 was weak. Then I. Defense PAC 12 is highly competitive. My head was spinning. It's like listening to politicians. So please drake look it up. Don't take my word for it. It was either taysoms last year or Zach's first year.

[@tranquillyserene]

I think what he meant to say is that BYU had a better PAC12 record than Utah, winning more games and with no losses to the PAC12

[@chariwall65]

I thought it was the Utah AD Dr Hill that said it was too dangerous to play BYU anymore and cancelled all the games…

[@rickjohnson6559]

@chariwall65 you could very well be right. Im 66 and not feeling good so I could be wrong. Point is bad blood aside. Both sides to this problem is BYU and Utah don't like each other. And 3rd and 4th quarters Utah couldn't get close enough to get a field goal. And blame the refs. Let's see. The final 3 plays all passes. And couldn't knock one down. Utah lost this game. And SEC. Big 10 they are watching this child like temper tantrum. Utah just lost any chance to join the big boys. Now they better concentrate on keeping their spot in big 12. They made it perfectly clear they do not want. Damn crybabies. Oh. Will anybody humor me and compare Utahs fight song to Micky mouse club song 1 more thing. Young Wilson. Transfer portal. BYU wants you young man.

In my opinion in the era of football when players stay at one school, and develop, Whit was the king of it. Now, in an era where 50 players come and go every year, that grind your ass off mentality (especially at the speed of the game now) is ineffective. You see all the AD’s at other schools on instagram posting their scientific workouts increasing speed, power and explosion. Then, you see Utah using all of their off season to just condition and grind until their bodies are brittle every day. We might need scalley to take over sooner than later.
