So after the scrimmage last Friday I was having some pleasant thoughts about the Utah QB situation. As you kids know by now, Travis Wilson was absolutely excellent and young Mr. Conner Manning looked very good, probably moving past Adam Schulz on the depth chart. Even Brandon Cox, while looking uneven, certainly showed moments. And all of that doesn’t bring up the Wyoming transfer Jason Thompson, who had a nice bit at the end of the scrimmage.
Even further, none of that considers the arrival of Sirs Kendal Thompson and Donovan Isom.
In short, the Utah QB situation has moved from dire, to EVERYTHING IS AWESOME.
To illustrate things, I thought I’d present a list of QB’s who saw serious time for Utah Football since Scott Mitchell.
