Re: 1280: 60 in 60
I remember watching Covey catch returns his freshman year before his mission (I think...). He NEVER called for the fair catch. I remember thinking he was literally going to get killed out there at some point...

#7 - Julian Blackmon, Safety, Utah.
Wow, Hans said he thinks that's too high for him. I'm surprised by that given that he's projected to be drafted so high.
I'm also pleasantly surprised that Love & Woodward will both be in the top 6 as voted by the Utah media.

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

Re: 1280: 60 in 60
What's crazy is those forward laterals are statistically counted as completed passes and a reception for Covey. Look at those UW defenders just licking their chops to take a shot at him. He sure doesn't fall forward after he gets the ball.

Re: 1280: 60 in 60
I'd take him on the Aggies. Imagine how good he would be if he didn't have a QB hanging him out to dry on so many passes? I'm happy with the team we have, but I think Covey could be good if he had a good QB and Oline.

Re: 1280: 60 in 60
I bet a lot of those defensive backs had 30 pounds on him. Most of UW's defensive backs this year are in the 190-205lbs range. I'd be surprised if 5'8" Covey is the claimed 170 lbs, even sopping wet, in full gear/pads, with ankle weights on.
That being said, he is one tough sucker.

Re: 1280: 60 in 60
Covey may have landed at Utah but it wasn't due to a lack of effort on our part. He was a recruiting priority and he did come to Utah State on an official visit.

Re: 1280: 60 in 60
My takeaway is that not only was Huntley ranked too high, he shouldn't have even been in the 60 in 60.
Sure wish Covey had been an Aggie.

Re: 1280: 60 in 60
Covey is a fantastic player that would have fit in very well here. He is too injury prone and doesn't add much outside of the return game. He's not better than Scarver and certainly not better than Tipa.Mr. Sneelock wrote:We may make fun of Covey's size, but he is absolutely fearless and a seriously tough SOB. I'd take him any day.

Re: 1280: 60 in 60
Look, I get you are going to always choose the USU guy over a Ute or Cougar. But to say he's injury prone (missed 1.5 games in 2 years) and doesn't add much outside the return game is crazy. As a receiver (2 yrs): 103 catches, 1156 yds (11.2 avg), 5 TDs; 27 rushes, 176 yds (6.5 avg). Punter returner: 46 for 467, 1 TD. Kick returner: 14 for 313 (22.4 avg).

Meanwhile, Scarver is a better kick returner, but doesn't handle punt returns. He has a better receiving average, but only 20 catches in 2 years. And that is playing in a far more open offense.

Re: 1280: 60 in 60
This is true. Covey would have good numbers if he played on a good offense. His numbers last year reflect how the offense was (bottom half in FBS). Utah is a defensive / special teams team. He shines on special teams.UtesAggs>BYU wrote:Look, I get you are going to always choose the USU guy over a Ute or Cougar.

Re: 1280: 60 in 60
Oh come on, you really think Huntley should be in the top 10? It was like he was trying to kill Covey in those highlights. And not just once, but over and over and over he threw to him in a bad position. My guess is it's just because he's the qb. All qbs have to be in or at least near the top 10 because of the prominence of their position. Most Ute fans I know weren't even happy with Huntley's passing ability last season.UtesAggs>BYU wrote: ↑August 22nd, 2019, 9:07 pmWeird I had the same thought about Love when I looked at this box scoreflying_scotsman2.0 wrote: ↑August 22nd, 2019, 3:44 pmMy takeaway is that not only was Huntley ranked too high, he shouldn't have even been in the 60 in 60.

Re: 1280: 60 in 60
Except the "stealing" thing was concocted because he was actually busted cheating. Since he was "stealing" the cops get involved and he is punished by the law and once he's paid his "debt" to society and to his team he can continue to play football. IF Natson HAD been turned over for cheating it becomes a University issue and Natson would have been expelled for cheating because the "punishment" was taken out of Coach Wells hands.QuackAttackAggie wrote: ↑August 22nd, 2019, 9:07 pmHe's like Natson, except without stealing from his teammates.Mr. Sneelock wrote: ↑August 22nd, 2019, 9:01 pmWe may make fun of Covey's size, but he is absolutely fearless and a seriously tough SOB.

Re: 1280: 60 in 60
Go compare his numbers (bottom half offense) to Ron'Quavion Tarver's numbers (top 10 offense). Aside from TD catches, they are very, very similar. He is a very talented offensive player that for some reason you guys are underselling. He's Utah's best WR and I guarantee would be one of the top receivers at either Utah St or BYU.sneed wrote: ↑August 23rd, 2019, 5:01 amThis is true.

Re: 1280: 60 in 60
I think Huntley should be in the 12-15 range. When I see guys behind him, there aren't many that I think move ahead of him. Tipa for sure, Penisini and Guidry I also think should be higher. MAYBE Bushman. I think he does get rated higher because he's a QB (FWIW, Wilson should be ranked nowhere near the top 20), but he is a very talented guy.flying_scotsman2.0 wrote: ↑August 23rd, 2019, 7:00 amOh come on, you really think Huntley should be in the top 10?

And most Utah fans aren't happy with anything. Want proof, come to a game with me and listen to the people I sit around. If you take the first 3 games, then sure, I wasn't happy with it either. But from Wazzu to when he was hurt, he was very good. The offense finally decided to play to their strengths by rushing the ball. He torched USC and was very efficient. The piece that makes him good though is the athleticism and running ability. I know people will point to that and claim it as the reason for his injuries, but both times he has gone down it has been backside pressure and awkward landings on pass plays.

Re: 1280: 60 in 60
That's fair. He did have a great game against USC. It'll be interesting to see how it plays out this year for all three QBs.

Re: 1280: 60 in 60
Fotu- 33 tackles, 3 sacks. Anae - 51 tackles, 8 sacks, 2 FF. Tipa - 64 tackles, 10.5 sacks, 3 FF, 2 INT, 1 TD. Woodward - 134 tackles, 5 sacks, 2 FF, 2 INT. Apparently what color jersey you where has a much bigger effect on your #60in60 ranking than your stat line.
Re: 1280: 60 in 60
This top 60 has been, is presently, and will always be a total joke.
