Halie and Alex hand out their game balls:

After watching the hot garbage that is UCLA, I hope FOX forever regrets choosing primadonna st. USC and the perpetually overrated UCLA which led to PAC destruction. Lincoln and Chip are not nearly as good as KW and are not over great programs, just have brand name and LA, which drove the decision. We had way more guys out and still were better than them. The story should be LA and the Lack of mental
Toughness took down the PAC. Very sad!

He also didn’t play today. Does him not walking mean he’s planning to stick around? Or does it mean he was too sick to walk?

Halie breaks down the final regular season game:

This game isn’t the easiest to write about, especially the keys and position battles, but here’s Cole’s take on this week:

We hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving with loved ones and friends.

No Turkey Bowl for me this year! If you’re doing that, let’s hear how it went, but be safe!

I’m grateful for all of you. It’s been a tough football season this year, but these happen to every program. Be grateful it’s a rarity here at Utah and that the guys still gave everyone some fun football.

I know AcrossTheGreen is enjoying the weather in Hawaii. Who else traveled for it?

Safe travels! And enjoy your turkey comas, UteNation fam!

Plenty to unpack here. And remember, Bills, Bishop, Laumea, Vaughn, and Vele can all come back.

Noticeably absent in a good way: Jonah Elliss and Brant Kuithe.

Well, welcome to a year and a game where the final game doesn’t have champions implications. It feels weird, doesn’t it?

Barnes gave it his all, but now that there are no true implications and they’re bowl eligible, it’s time to let him heal.

I won’t dive deep on Nate Johnson until he announces anything. What I’ll say is they gave him a chance. Me personally, I’ve always been in the camp believing he was development prospect at QB for Utah. Remember, Adam Gorney and the guys didn’t give him a 4th star because they didn’t believe he was a QB.

Bottari could be an intriguing watch this weekend. He’s talented but short. Fans honestly might have fun and be amused on Saturday.

With Rose, it’s tough to play him after his bad injury and then not seeing any time this year. Does he still get some time? We’ll see.

Utah’s trying to go back to the Blinn well for safety Maurice Evans:

The University of Utah has placed Head Gymnastics Coach Tom Farden on paid administrative leave effective immediately. This action comes after recent conduct and actions by Coach Farden not related to student-athlete welfare, which simply do not align with our values and expectations. Associate Head Coach Carly Dockendorf has agreed to serve as Interim Head Coach.

Williams visited during a brutal offensive game against UCLA, but that did little to dampen his enthusiasm for the Utes and their need at WR:

The Utes get a nice pickup here:

Unfortunately Utah had no room for him in the running back room. Both Ja’Quinden Jackson and Micah Bernard will be coming back.

Good luck to Radcliffe.

The season is wrapping up for the Utes 2024 recruits, and it ended in a championship victory for the Corner Canyon Trio. Isaac Wilson had an absolutely electric season.

Here's all of the details:

Watching the Manning MNF show, Peyton just said the PR looked like Mark Wahlberg returning a punt.😆

it reports on X are true and Oregon both have offered rising double what Utah has, WTH even have the portal if it s just college free agency? More like tampering but NCAA can t regulate. The base is a scholarship and stipend. The peak is millions. USC paid that much for a QB to get them to 7-5 thanks to a coach with a defense optional mindset.

I’m aware of the Scalley and USC rumors. I’ve heard the offer was significant and I heard he turned it down. Who knows if they come back to the table with something else, but it’s going to take a lot for Morgan to leave Utah.
