Kurt Kragthorpe of the Salt Lake Tribune was a fantastic interview, even if he’d rather be talking about golf. The Utes and Ducks are about to play the most anticipated PAC-12 title game in its short history, and Kurt provided some great insight into the program. Be sure to give it a listen before the big game.
Offense
The most significant change I observed in once and future OC Ludwig’s offense is far less conservative playcalling, particularly on 3rd downs. In previous seasons, Utah tended to play it safe on 3rd & long situations - a run, screen, or quick pass short of the sticks, figuring that the ballcarrier might make a play and pick it up, but at worst they’d just punt and play defense … trusting those two excellent squads instead of offensive gambling.
