SALT LAKE CITY — It was the exact type of start Utah’s Kyle Whittingham hoped for on the first day of his team’s fall camp: Energy and intensity.
With veteran experience returning and fewer questions about the various position groups, Utah was able to transition into camp smoother than last season, giving the Utes a leg up on the year.
“It was a good practice,” Whittingham said. “This group has been at it since January; it’s been nonstop. I didn’t expect anything different than what we got.”
Utah started off camp with no pads, as the team will slowly introduce the protective gear and physicality as the camp progresses, per NCAA rules.
