Burning QB Jordan Wynn's Redshirt May Have Saved Utah's Season

by Jeremy Mauss on Nov 1, 2009 12:00 AM PDT in Mountain West Football

Bring on the critics and pile on, yes I was wrong when in a previous post where I felt the Utes should not burn Jordan Wynn's redshirt for some spot duty. As of tonight's second half performance against Wyoming, and Wynn looks to have taken over the starting quarterback job over Terrance Cain.

Wynn entered the game in the second half and started off his collegiate career by completing his first four passes, and ended up going 9 for 14, 82 yards and a score. Now compare that to Terrance Cain in the first half: 10 for 13 and 121 yards; however the offense was stagnant under Cain. He was moving the offense but not being able to produce points.

It seemed that the moment Jordan Wynn entered the game he had the poise of a veteran and ran the offense to near perfection with his precision passing. There were a few freshman mistakes like the pass that was thrown in the end zone but the receiver was triple covered.

I am not going to say that if Wynn had played the Oregon game Utah would have won, and it is not as if Terrance Cain had been bad the Utes were 6-1 coming into this game behind Cain.

Wynn talked about his roll on the team and willingness to help the team:

"Obviously, this is a little late in the season. But I had told the coaches that whenever they wanted to play me, I was ready to play,"

Wynn played great, and if he is named the starter against New Mexico he should play great as well, since the Lobos are terrible. However, the following week would be at TCU who have a big time defense, and at least Cain has started in a hostile environment in Oregon and is one under thrown pass to winning that game. At the moment that seems to be my only concern with Wynn keeping the job, but Coch Whittingham is a great coach and his track record suggets he will do what is best for his team.

they will both play vs new mexico and then coach whittingham will decide which qb is

best for tcu, utah is probably going to be 12-14 th in tommorow’s bcs poll. byu might get back into top 25 by default. ole miss lost, s.c lost and so did wvu. i can only think of oklahoma taking one of those places. the other teans that were 26th and 27th lost too. strange college football season.

As for duel threat QBs being the way to go, just ask the NFL what they prefer.

Also no way Bosie or TCU makes it to MNC, why you ask because it is all east coast and SEC. I know that sounds like a bummer but you got to understand MWC and WAC will not get any respect. It’s like the sun it rises in the east and sets in the west, funny thing that it happens every day.

too bad this is college footbal, COLLEGE football.

your just angry you got a beatdown by a team with a dual threat qb. usc will always be a football factory but you guys won’t win even another pac-ten title without one.barkley will never win the ncg and either will aaron corp. you won’t even win a pac-ten title with either off them. btw give me the name of the usc qb who has won a super bowl? matt linehart career 2nd string qb. as for the mwc winning a ncg. i’ll say by 2012 -2014 the mwc will get their chance. i’m very young and will see at least one utah national championship and one tcu championship. tcu wil get more pubicity than usc will ever get for the rest of the season. espn will throw you out just like a used trojan. peace be with you brother.

For one thing yes you are young and a fool, and I am not upset about the Trojans losing I knew they would

This is a young team and they will get better, the day TCU wins a national championship it will be D-2. Now maybe Uath but only problem is that Kyle always finds a way to mess-up.

And as peace be with me———-I hate religion
And you as a brother think NOT
so I say War is better than peace any day.

tcu has already won two national championships

do the names sammy baugh and davey o’brien mean anything to you. i believe the best qb in COLLEGE FOOTBALL goes to that player (the davey o’brien trophy). ucla’s merry go round qb’ing never seem to make the list and matt barkley looked like a baby in eugene begging for calls that did not come. the paradigm has shifted and usc is the one who gets screwed. i am a peaceful man. WWJD. lol.

tcu's two championships were obviously not in the mwc but as a program they have two.

That's right I glad you can remember Troll but I am talking about the future and I don't know if Matt was begging for calls.

I didn’t watch the whole game because I knew were it was going, and I don’t feel MB is a baby. But I will inform him that you feel that way tomorrow, he lives down the street from me.

you are on the mwc blog

as for the future it looks very bleak for usc. matt barkley or aaron corp will not even win a pac ten conference title. usc days as a powerhouse are done. lets look at all the over-rated usc qb’s in the nfl. carson palmer: having a decent year with the bengals but they won’t even make the super bowl,. been in the nfl for 8 years. coach carrol and carson palmer faced utah in vegas bowl. they lost 10-6. matt linehart: will always be a second string qb. john david booty 2nd or 3rd string qb somewhere. mark snachez: 4-4 as jets rookie qb. might have the most potential but if he does not deliver 11 or 12 wins in 2 years he will be traded. any other usc qb’s you want me to know. you said you like war. i’ve got a one way ticket to afghanistan waiting for you at lax. lol.

say hi to matt barkley since your such good friends

you are neighbors correct? tell him to practice his running so he can be a dual threat qb. la la land has no hope. no pro footbal team. the hockey team is bad. the baseball team lost in the playoffs with the real lunatic “manny r.” that leaves you with the lakers. might make it back to finals but the celtics added rasheed wallace to the big three and they look unstoppable. i feel your pain. things just keep looking up for the mwc. peace and i’ll give you a big hug b/c i’m pentacostal. tcu runs the table and will beat any team the powers that be will give them.

Nice kool-aid but I don't live my life through sports franchises, as you seem to do.

Well you got your wish lunatic, pete is going to the A-11 offense in two weeks so he will have @ QBs on the field at all times. Here is a look at this offense for you fool http://www.fanblogs.com/ncaa/007645.php

i don't even like the 4 major professional sports. i have no blogs for any of them

i do like mma though. you keep riding that bike of yours in so.cal. you probably ride your bike to all the usc players houses or apmts to check on what they are doing. usc days as title contenders is over. tcu would crush usc just like oregon did. even at a nuetral filed. jerry hughes would knock out barkley and pete caroll would be dumb enough to put aaron corp in. i’ll give caoch pete some advice. why does he not try mitch mustain. the guy did win 7 games in sec conf. he lost none. must have beaten a few good ones. he is either to dumb or stubborn. i don’t care about your recruits either. i won’t even get into all the usc wr’s who have failed in the nfl or just were troublemakers. peace and i still give you a hug. i think you need one. lol.
