SALT LAKE CITY — With three weeks to go before the University of Utah kicks off its season against North Dakota, the program is no closer to naming a starting quarterback.
Incumbent starter Troy Williams remains in a locked battle with Tyler Huntley, as the top signal caller has each attempted to separate from the other. In a scrimmage-like setting Wednesday, head coach Kyle Whittingham said the quarterbacks were live, meaning they could be tackled, in an attempt to see how they handle different situations.
“It’s a necessity to try to get some separation. It’s so close,” Whittingham said.
