Nothing that happens on the field Saturday likely will change the friendship between Utah offensive coordinator Troy Taylor and Jake Browning. Yes, despite a nearly 30-year age difference, Taylor considers Browning a friend and even likened him to a member of his family.
Browning also happens to be the starting quarterback for No. 16 University of Washington, the Utes’ next opponent.
Utah goes into Husky Stadium looking for a win to clinch bowl eligibility, and the Huskies need to bounce back after suffering their second loss of the season last weekend. A second consecutive Pac-12 Conference championship remains a possibility for Browning and the Huskies, while Taylor could use a signature performance from his offense in his first season as the quarterbacks coach and play-caller.
