Utes look for strong finish to inaugural Pac-12 season
Utah football can climb to .500 in Pac-12 play with a victory over Washington State Saturday. More importantly, they can guarantee the program a ninth straight winning season - the longest such stretch since Ike Armstrong roamed the sidelines during the Roosevelt era. That all seemed unlikely a...
Big Game to October in 2012?
Remember this? Where I stressed about how Stanford may never again play USC with the students on campus because of the Notre Dame game, the California schools insisting on playing each other, Stanford and Cal refusing to play Big Game on Thanksgiving weekend, and the Pac-12 prohibiting...
Though lacking any history, Utes and Huskies linked in more ways than one
Saturday's game between Utah and Washington might be the first time ever former BYU players lined up to coach against one another. Kyle Whittingham was a linebacker for the Cougars back during their glory days in the 80s and Steve Sarkisian led the one-year revival of BYU in 1996 - quarterbacking...

Utes big dogs to Boise State and justifiably so. However...
When Utah takes the field against the Boise St. Broncos, not many people will give them a chance to win. In fact, they enter the bowl season as one of the largest underdogs at +15. That margin might be hard to swallow for Ute fans because of this team's recent bowl history (they've won nine...
Q&A With the Sun Devils
With the 'Duel in the Desert' upon us, I reached out to Cory Williams of SBNation's Arizona State blog, 'House of Sparky'. We each asked and answered five questions about the opposing team, and wrote up a statement of why we think our team will win the Territorial Cup. I know, I'm working with...
Utes and Cougars meet one last time as conference mates
Saturday afternoon marks the final Mountain West Conference game for both BYU and Utah. It also marks the end of the Holy War as we know it. There is little doubt that, over the course of the next few years, this rivalry will radically change for both teams as they head down far different paths....
Utes look to rebound against slumping Notre Dame
Twenty years ago, had these two teams met, there is little doubt who'd be ranked and favored heading into the game. It certainly wouldn't be the Utes. Not so anymore. Utah enters Saturday's game not only ranked 15th nationally, but favored against the once mighty Irish. Hard to imagine Notre Dame...
Watch parties for out of state Utes
I'm sure we'd all love to be at Rice-Eccles Stadium Saturday to cheer on our Utes. Unfortunately, for a great deal of fans, that just isn't possible. Many of you are, in fact, located out of state and can't make it back here for the Big Game™. If you're one of those who will be watching...
Six years ago...did you attend?
In 2004, ESPN GameDay made its first trip to the state of Utah and went live from the south-west corner of Rice-Eccles Stadium's parking lot. It was only the second fourth time a non-BCS team hosted the event (the first was Air Force) and after a six year hiatus, the program is back. This time...
