The long itch for football gets a bit of a scratch, starting Thursday, as the Utes kick off Spring Football for a couple of days, before heading to Spring Break. Utah lost quite a bit from last year’s 9-4 team, but they return players at some key positions, namely QB and at some skill positions. The defense will be reloading, but Lowell Lotulelei and Kylie Fitts are some nice anchors toe build around, but neither will see the field this spring.
Of course, the Utes are changing offensive coordinator, so they will be installing a new offense, which is likely why the practices will be mostly closed, with the exception of a handful, and of course the Red-White Game.
