BYU & Utah Continuing their Rivalry

by Travis Normand

Utah has moved to the Pac-12 Conference and BYU has become Independent, however, these two schools are working on an agreement that will allow them to continue their annual rivalry game.

It is good to see that conference affiliation and realignment doesn’t have to end a great rivalry.

While the agreement between these two schools is not yet complete, and while the agreement may only add two more games (for now), I hope that Athletic Directors (like DeLoss Dodds) are paying attention.

Another QB Leaves University of Texas Football Program

According to Horns247.com, Connor Brewer (QB) is leaving (transferring from) the University of Texas football program.  While it may only be my perception, it sure does seem like a lot of good quarterbacks have transferred away from the Longhorn program over the past couple of years.  One has to wonder what is going on in Austin.

Quarterbacks that have recently left the Longhorns behind:

  1. Connor Brewer
  2. Connor Wood (now at Colorado)
  3. Garrett Gilbert (now at SMU)

Normally, numerous transfers would not be something worth writing about.  However, I am making an exception here because these quarterbacks were all considered quality recruits.

Had only one or two quarterbacks decided to transfer, I may not have taken notice.   However, Brewer is the third quarterback since 2010!
