I had a thought to get off my chest and am open to other’s thoughts. Over the years we hear about importance of gap integrity with D lineman so backers can be freed up to make plays. In interviews this year we ve heard so much about the DL attacking and having that style now. Could that be a part of why UF running backs also gashed us so bad? Seemed
Like the backers were nowhere and our D ends especially were biting down or not setting the edge.

just a thought. So close this one and it s gonna be painful for a bit…. So many mistakes and just bad tackling we are not used to. Hopefully things change and can get back out there.

Here are the takeaways from tonight’s heartbreaker…

Ive never seen such a slow Oregon team in over a decade. In todays game of spread offenses, Noah Sewell's size is a detriment to his game. Oregon is not good.

The no. 7 Utes are in right where they want to be heading into the highly-anticipated 2022 season. Here are some takeaways as game week is here…

I jumped on a Florida podcast late Thursday night. It was long, 2.5 hours, but it was really enjoyable and some great conversations. Check it out.

Let's talk about another stud running back out of Florida in freshman Jaylon Glover: https://utah.rivals.com/news/utenation-countdown-to-kickoff-no-1-jaylon-glover

With our criteria for these articles (on campus during spring ball as a scholarship player), today brings us to our final UteNation Countdown to Kickoff article for the season. It's been crazy keeping up with writing the articles the past few months, but it's been fun trying to give more insight to these student-athletes and trying to keep the quality solid with the info we have.

It's only fitting that we finish with a leader of the defense and a guy who we will probably see playing on Sundays sooner than later, no. 1 Clark Phillips III.

Not sure if this is a good or bad thing. College football as we grew up with is long gone.

Utes get a big commitment in the trenches, the night before the season starts…

I got in late last night, who all is here already?… Also, what’s everyone’s confidence level the closer we get to the game?

I’d say I was a 7,now an 8.5, tomorrow gonna suck!!! Go Utes!

Miller obviously likes coaching and now gets more experience in G-League. Note he missed just 3 games in his 17-year NBA career! Wonder what he thinks about load management?

Can resist the thought.,,if Utah decides to replace Smith in the future would Miller the top candidate?

Along with Bernard, it’s also time to talk about cornerback Kenzel Lawler…

By the end of the season, we could be saying Micah Bernard is the most dangerous offensive weapon the Utes have… It’s almost game time everybody!

With a new head coach, Florida is a little difficult to figure out what to expect in the season opener, but here's what I gather from reading fall camp reports:
