They say time flies when you’re having fun. Well merely 5 weeks ago Utah Spring Camp started and already it is coming to a close.

Luckily I have been able to attend every Spring practice, but for those that haven’t the Spring Game may be the first and...

After transferring to Utah last year, Gionni Paul was forced to sit out the 2013 season to satisfy NCAA regulations. Unfortunately for the linebacker, he’ll have to wait even longer to officially begin his Utes playing career.

Utah Utes Spring Football: Welcome back Wilson
The Utah Utes spring scrimmage yesterday left fans with an exuberance of hope for the season. The offense owned the day as Christensen’s impact has become apparent, the running backs continued to impress, and the competition at quarterback finally showed some separation.

How do you gage a successful season for the Utah Utes? Many would agree that fans would be happy with this past season had it been offered before the season started. The Utes have made significant progress the last three years, but this season was a failure. It was a failure based on one point. Lack of progress.
Now, many will start reading through this article quickly to see where...
Utah Spring Football: The Quarterbacks
It’s a tough job but someday has to do it right? Somebody HAS to go watch Utah football in July-like conditions one day and December-like conditions the next. Somebody has to take a look at the current crop of Quarterbacks because we all know that Utah will only go as far as their Quarterbacks can take them. Since somebody had to do it I’ve gone through many “hardships” to...

Blitzes, Fehoko, Q, Symmank, Other Things

Fehoko was all over the field, Quenton White looks ready to go and the Red Raiders have themselves a punter.

Utes need Wright, Loveridge to lead the way

Utah Utes Basketball: Disappearing Act of Jordan Loveridge
Jordan Loveridge has had a tough go of things this season. I have seen plenty of bloggers and fans ask during games, “When is Loveridge going to show up?” He has. Jordan Loveridge is the player we have been seeing all Pac-12 season.
Still, Loveridge has been missing for big chunks of basketball games and fans need to prepare for this to continue. JLove has statistically regressed...

Hoops have tied Utah star Jordan Loveridge and his dad together
In two seasons at the University of Utah, Jordan Loveridge has taken 702 shots.
It’s a mere sample size when it comes to the volume of attempts the sophomore forward has made over the years. He’s done so with the help of his father, Bill, who chases down the balls and passes them back to the shooter.
Jordan said it’s been that way for a long time.
“Even when I couldn...

Utes Add Another Log into Jam at QB
If you’ve paid any attention to Utah football over the last five or six years, then I don’t need to remind you how much of an issue depth at quarterback has been. Welcome to 2014 where quantity won’t be an issue anymore. What about quality?
