-There will be a lot of guys that they’re still trying to figure out that haven’t played a lot of football for them, that will get a lot of playing time on Saturday.

-Until the spring game, the remainder of the practices will be about getting everybody up to speed, fundamentally, and skill wise.

-The quarterbacks have not been live all spring and they will not be live for the spring game.

-The battle behind Rising is pretty intense, but they didn’t feel that spring was the time to increase the intenseness and make them live.

-Rising won’t be live at all, until he lines up against Southern Utah.

-The transfer portal opens again next Tuesday and it’s yet to be determined on whether Utah goes to the portal for another quarterback. They need to evaluate the body of work from both Rose and Wilson throughout the spring before coming to that conclusion.

-Both the safety group, and the wide receivers were highlighted by Whittingham as the two positions that have stepped up the most this spring.

-They don’t have an exact figure on the amount of guys they will try to get from the spring portal, but if it started today, there would be 4 to 5. This is before knowing who will leave after spring on Utah’s roster, which will add to the amount that they can add.

-The backup quarterback position is still a dead heat. Wilson has really assimilated himself into the system and the offense, while Rose has played his best football as a Ute.
