UTAH RUMORS & GOSSIP
With BCS berth, many possible benefits await UCF
Chris Hill saw first-hand how a BCS berth can enhance a university.
With an 11-0 record and a Mountain West Conference title, his Utah Utes became the first non-automatic qualifying program to crash the exclusive club in the 2004 season.
Some predictable outcomes followed. There was increased visibility for the athletic program, and local enthusiasm for then-coach Urban Meyer'...

Utah Utes Basketball: Onwas vs. Tucker Round 2
Coach Larry Krystkowiak finally did it. He started Princeton Onwas in the Runnin’ Utes’ last game. After starting Dakarai Tucker in all the games up to this point some fans may be surprised. Other fans may be asking what’s wrong with Dakarai. For me, it was just a matter of time. Let me tell you why.
To be honest it really came down to one thing that Larry Krystkowiak said...

Utes Fight For Bowl Eligibility
Let’s be be honest Utah fans. We have been extremely spoiled over the past 10 years. In that time Utah has produced two undefeated seasons. Only two other programs in the nation can say they have done that as well (Auburn, Boise State). We as Utah fans have gotten so spoiled that anytime the Utes don’t win 10 games a year, we lose our minds! I will admit I am guilty of this as...

ASU wary of upset against tough-at-home Utah
TEMPE, Ariz. -- A month ago, as Arizona State went about pummeling Colorado in Tempe, Utah stunned the college football world with an upset of then-No. 5 Stanford in Salt Lake City.
With No. 22 ASU next up at Rice-Eccles Stadium, you can bet the Sun Devils will remember what the Utes did to the Cardinal's national championship aspirations and do all they can to assure the same...

Utah Utes Football: Bye Week in Rearview
Last week’s bye could not have come at a better time for everyone involved with the Utah Utes football team, including the Ute faithful.

While we’re on the subject, let’s quickly recap the Utes’ disappointing letdown after a...

Photo: Are These Utah’s “Salute America” Helmets For The ASU Game?
The Utah Utes, on bye this week to lick their wounds after two straight Pac-12 defeats, will welcome Arizona State to Salt Lake City next Saturday for their “Salute America” game. The school plans on putting on a military-themed halftime show and is asking fans to wear red, white and blue to the game. It looks like the team may be donning helmets of the same color combo.

After big win, Utes leave Utah for first time
Utah carries the momentum from one of the biggest victories in the school's history when the Utes venture out of their home state for the first time this season to face Arizona on Saturday.
When coach Kyle Whittingham's team knocked off then-No. 5 Stanford 27-21 in Salt Lake City last weekend, it was the highest-ranked team the Utes ever beat at home.
Now Utah (4-2, 1-2...

Arizona looks to regroup against upset-minded Utah
TUCSON, Ariz. -- A quick glance at the Arizona schedule before the season likely would have most expecting three certain wins (Northern Arizona, UNLV and UT-San Antonio) and three games immediately afterward that looked like possible wins (Washington, USC, Utah) if the Wildcats played well enough.
Well, here we are at the end of that second stretch of the schedule, and Arizona is...

Former US skier now Utah kicker
Former US ski team member Andy Phillips once skied off a cliff and snapped his femur in half. So kicking a football is easy.
The 24-year-old redshirt freshman had never played in a football game at any level when he nailed three field goals in Utah's season-opening 30-26 victory over rival Utah State. He also went 3 for 3 on extra points.
''We didn't get the opening...
