What Brian Johnson brings to the Utah football program...and what he doesn't
The hiring of Brian Johnson certainly sent shock waves through the world of college football today. It's not often a Pac-12 program hires a guy as offensive coordinator who still could be of playing age. It just doesn't happen. In fact, Brian Johnson now becomes the youngest coordinator in all of...
Utes land best class in program history
By all accounts, the 2012 recruiting class will go down as the best in program history. With the signing of Alphonso Marsh, a three-star defensive back out of Compton, California, early Wednesday evening, the Utes wrapped up a stellar class that features 28 new signees. Kyle Whittingham says it's...
Utah close to announcing new offensive coordinator
Finally, after over a month of speculation, it appears we're close to the end of the wait. The Utes are expected to announce the hiring of a new offensive coordinator this week and a decision might even come down in the next 24 or 48 hours. Since Norm Chow left in December to take the Hawaii job,...
No one likes the waiting game.
Tom Petty hated it. I hate it. You hate it. But what're you going to do about it? It's now been over a month since Norm Chow officially became Hawaii's next football coach and, outside hearing Gary Crowton's name linked to the job, nothing of note has transpired since. We've gone over how...
Wanted: An offensive coordinator to run Pac-12 offense
Tomorrow will mark three weeks since Norm Chow said ciao to Utah and left for the sunny beaches of Hawaii. Since his unofficial departure, which I guess is now official with the Sun Bowl over, there has been an uneasy silence from the coaching world on who could replace him. No one, it seems, has...
Previewing The Utah Running Back: John "Wolfman" White IV
John White the Fourth is Utah's running game. He has accounted for 86% of all running back carries for the Utes in 2011 including 95% of the rushing yards for the 2011 Ute squad. White transferred from L.A. Harbor College as a juco conference player of the year (Central West Conference) and...

The Utah Primary Passer, Jon Hays
Jon Hays came in against Washington (week 4) of 2011 after Jordan Wynn went down. Wynn was 14-7 as a starter for Utah before his shoulder injury ended his 2011 junior season. Hays, statistically speaking, is probably the worst Utah quarterback since 2002. He has quarterbacked the Utes to a 5-3...
The Utah Run Defense of 2011: We will stop you!
The Utah defense has been the focal point of discussions leading up to the bowl game and with good reason. They've held every team they faced in 2011's rushing offense in check. Only Washington improved their season average rushing yards per game against the Utes but every other team including...
Utah Ute Defense versus Field Position
I'd like to preface this post with the fact that the Utes have played some pretty good special teams in 2011. The Utes have only allowed 16 offensive drives to start inside their own 50 (11.5% of all opposing drives). Therefore, the defense's numbers get some big time boost. The Utes only allow...
