As the sunset on the 2021 Utah football season, Yogi Roth (PAC 12 Network Analyst) commented about Utah setting a new standard for their program. In this light, I felt it was important to reflect on every year since Utah joined the PAC 12 in 2011. Below is a list of every year along with an overall and conference record and the result of a bowl game if it occurred for that year.
2011: Overall Record: 8-5 Conference Record: 4-5
Bowl Game: Sun Bowl 30-27 OT Win vs. Georgia Tech
2012: Overall Record: 5-7 Conference Record: 3-6
Bowl Game: Ineligible
2013: Overall Record: 5-7 Conference Record: 2-7
Bowl Game: Ineligible
As you can see, the first three years were undoubtedly a little rocky.
