Utah Utes Football News - Page 4

Lincoln Riley knows that when you coach at USC, you are dealing with high expectations from just about everyone else in college football. The Trojans are a football power, but even the best can be expected to slip up from time to time. That’s exactly what’s happening at USC. The Trojans have lost two games […]

As someone who grew up in a small farm town that proudly calls itself “the Onion Capital of the World” and is home to more cows than people, I couldn’t help but chuckle when I read Utah football coach Kyle Wittingham’s quote on his quarterback, Bryson Barnes, following the Utes win over the USC Trojans. […]

The Pac-12 hosted the game of the college football weekend last week and arguably the best game of the college football season so far between the Oregon Ducks and the Washington Huskies. It was a dramatic shootout, the best type of big game. A similar big game will take place this weekend between the Utah […]
