12. Love, USU
14. Costello, Ferd
16. Huntley, ewe
17. Tate, Zona
26. Eason, ewe-dub
32. McDonald, Hawai'i
40. Daniels U$C
41. Montez, Buffs
42. Gubrud, Wazzu
46. Wilson, yBu
50. Thompson-Robinson, UCLA
65. Rogers, UNLV
72. Hill, CSU
80. Sterling-Coe, ASU
81. Garbers, Cal
82. Luton, OSU
86. Hammond, AFA
88. Cord, Boazy
98. Chambers, Wyo
99. Agnew, SDS
100. Reyna, Fresno
108. Henry, Reno

Re: Athlon QB rankings list released
I have been assured by Ute fans that there is no way a QB from USU can ever be better than a QB starting in the mighty PAC-12. Obviously this list is wrong. The defenses in the PAC-12 are just too strong to take this list seriously.USU78 wrote: ↑June 11th, 2019, 10:05 amA larger perspective.

Re: Athlon QB rankings list released
Is anyone else surprised that Huntley is so high? I only watched two Ute games last year (against WSU and Pac12 CG), but was wholly unimpressed. His season stats weren't that great either.
12 TDs passing
4 TDs rushing
6 interceptions
decent QB rating (140s)
He seems a perfectly serviceable QB, but the 16th best in the country and only 4 behind Love? Am I missing something?

I watched the Utah vs UW game in hopes of schadenfreude for UW winning the Apple Cup against WSU (again!).

Re: Athlon QB rankings list released
I attended the ewe of ewe was a season ticket holder at one time, have a lot of friends that go to games, and tailgate down in shat lake city, but after the latest snub by them I no longer watch them play in person or on T.V. I always attended aggie games first, because I live in Logan, but I watched many games in SLC they were my second favorite.
I have told my Ute friends that their school is as bad if not worse than YBU with their arrogance. They are dead to me.
What I remember is the last football and basketball games the mighty ewe played in Logan they lost. I think that is a major reason they will not return.

Re: Athlon QB rankings list released
Just ventured to the cougar board thread on this same subject. More are whining about Huntley being so high and the Wilson has already proved himself enough to be better than him. Little to no gripe on the Love ranking though.

I beg to differ as to the serviceability of his arm. I think there is a youtube vid or two showcasing some of his his terrible throws. His throwing motion is horrible, but yes, he's athletic.

Saw the thread too. It reeks of insecurity. Its just astounding that grown men are so insecure as to have to spill barrels (figuratively) of internet ink trying to convince some unbeliever (no double entendre intended) that their QB is better than the other guy's because the opinion holders who ranked the other guy's QB higher are, well, just plain wrong. When it comes to insecurity, BYU fans are the national champs every year as far as I'm concerned.

I have a hard time taking any group of idiots serious when they honestly think Wilson is a Heisman candidate. Great, he had a good game against Northwest Iowa technical college of internet surfing - so what? They're all delusional morons.Smokin Joe wrote: ↑June 12th, 2019, 6:09 pmtysteve20 wrote: ↑June 12th, 2019, 4:15 pmJust ventured to the cougar board thread on this same subject.

Re: Athlon QB rankings list released
I think this is fair. If Jordan Love would have played more than the first half of the games last year he would be rated higher. Hopefully he can showcase his talents against better teams this year. By the end of the year I think everyone will have him in their top 5.
As for BYU's recovering-from-surgery-heisman-canidate-that-has-beat-two-bowl-elidgible-teams, I guess we will see what they are saying about him Nov. 3 after taking another hard loss to our boys.

I seem to remember speculation that Sanford would be more likely to leave Jordan in longer. I don't remember who said that, or what their basis was. Heck, maybe I'm even making this up in my head. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

Re: Athlon QB rankings list released
I know what I say doesn't matter but they should put up video game numbers and watch most of the second half. It keeps the starters healthy and fresh and keeps the backups engaged and focused throughout the week because they want to do well when they play.taniataylor wrote: ↑June 13th, 2019, 4:01 pmI said they will not be doing the switching like last year.
