Having secured their first home win since September 14, 2019, the Thunderbirds of Southern Utah University will be looking to keep the DeLane Fitzgerald era rolling when they visit the #13 Utes this weekend in Salt Lake. Despite already matching last season’s abysmal win total, it’s hard to imagine they’ll have enough thunder to stop Utah’s deeply talented offense.
Fitzgerald’s first season at SUU is off to a promising start, and there’s reason to believe this team could make some noise in the newly resurrected WAC this season thanks to a handful of transfers from Frostburg State University, Fitzgerald’s last coaching job where he led the Bobcats to an impressive 62-19 overall record and three conference titles over seven seasons split between the New Jersey Athletic Conference and Mountain East Conference.
