Saturday morning’s home-opener is expected to be Utah_Football's 71st consecutive home sellout dating back to the 2010 opener.
Utah head coach Kyle Whittingham, center, reacts on the sideline after a play during the first half of an NCAA college football game against Florida, Saturday, Sept. 3, 2022, in Gainesville, Fla.Next up: the home-opener on Saturday morning against Southern Utah , which is expected to be the program’s 71st consecutive home sellout dating back to the 2010 opener. We will start this week’s Utes mailbag right there.
Seriously, though. Bigger fish to fry down the road. The response on Saturday should be nothing extravagant. Rising certainly didn’t look injured, nor did I think he looked limited, but I did think there were first-half accuracy issues, which seemed uncharacteristic. On the final drive of the second quarter, Rising got the offense over midfield with a 13-yard pass to Brant Kuithe and a 14-yard scramble to the Florida 48-yard line.
In fairness, we’re judging this whole thing on one game, which will probably end up featuring the most-athletic, most-capable secondary Utah will face all season. Better than USC, better than Oregon. It was hard not to get swallowed up by what was going around me. As Richardson scored what turned out to be the game-winning touchdown, The Swamp got louder than any other point of the night. As I started making fresh alterations to the game story I’d been working on since halftime, I had to get up, take a deep breath, and drink some water, because my heart was pounding.
Whittingham was quite critical of his front seven on Monday, using the word “sloppy” a number of times to help make his point. The most-jarring part of what Whittingham said was that the staff counted 27 missed tackles, which is just an asinine number, especially for a Utah defense that usually shows up to play.If you forgot what happened that afternoon in Corvallis, it wasn’t anything good from a defensive perspective.
