The Utah Blockcast

Cam, Tyson, and Steve recap the Colorado game. The Buffs have things trending in the right direction. Issues center around quarterback play, but that's not an indictment of Isaac Wilson's future. 

Utah defensive tackle Keanu Tanuvasa returned to recap The Holy War. They dive into the week's preparation heading into the game, how the game played out, the emotions felt during and after the game, and the focus moving forward. 

The fellas recap the game starting with the 4th & 10 "penalty" before discussing Mark Harlan's post-game actions. Then what contributed to the loss beyond the final defensive series. Needless to say, Utah had plenty of opportunities to win this game before that final drive.

A quick recap of the women's and men's basketball wins last night. Then conversations with Utah legends Kenneth Scott and Jason Shelley. 

The Gatorade Cooler comes for us all at some point. The Plan. Jaylon Glover did nothing wrong. The game has so much more meaning now as a conference game. We laugh to hide our pain. Finally, we discuss this Saturday's matchup. 

Mitch Harper, the BYU Insider for KSL Sports, and Steve Bartle, the Utah Insider for KSL Sports, recorded a special podcast episode together. The two discussed various rivalry dynamics before diving into the matchup between the two programs this Saturday. 

What happens when a college football-only podcast needs to become a more well-rounded college athletics podcast? It seeks and outsources professional help. That's what Evan Miyakawa provides on this episode of the Utah Blockcast. A national college basketball analyst, Evan provides insights into the Big 12 outlook for the 2024-25 season before diving into the Runnin' Utes. 

The Utah Man, Stevenson Sylvester, joined Steve Bartle on the Blockcast to talk through the current state of the Utah Football program. 

The fellas get together to commiserate in their pain. Utah football is firmly planted in the back of the struggle bus. The offense can't seem to find enough answers and a tough loss to Houston included a quarterback change and post-game commentary worth dissecting. But remember, tough times never last, only tough people last. 

The fellas got together to discuss Andy Ludwig's resignation as offensive coordinator at Utah. They dive into their immediate thoughts and reactions, before hitting on some of the issues that have plagued the offense this season. Given the struggles of the offense this season, the move is not surprising. However, Ludwig should be remembered for more than this and last season. 

Melissa Triebwasser of Frogs Insider Podcast joined the podcast to provide an in-depth look at the Horned Frogs. 

KSL Sports' Steve Bartle and star defensive tackle Keanu Tanuvasa got back in the booth after a two-week hiatus. A lot of the talk centered on the process of righting the ship, turning the page, refreshing the mindsets, and reigniting the belief in and within this team after the last two weeks. 

On Monday, it was announced that Cam Rising's season has come to an end. This also very well could be the end of his career with Utah. The fellas discuss all things Rising and the unceremonious conclusion to his 2024 season, perhaps even career. That also means Isaac Wilson is the next man up. There are reasons to be optimistic and the three discuss all things in Wilson's transition to QB1. 

After talking through the happenings in one of the greatest weekends of college football for the first ten minutes of the episode, the crew dives into the injury situation with Cam Rising. There's a lot to dissect and hopefully, there are things that alleviate some frustrations around the situation. After roughly fifty minutes of discussion, the three dive into the matchup with Arizona State. 

Breaking down the frustration from Utah's loss to Arizona on Saturday night, including the quarterback injury situation. Where should the blame mostly fall with this loss? Was it defense, QB play, or coaching failures?
