The official definition of X-Factor is "a variable in a given situation that could have the most significant impact on the outcome." In football, the term is used describe a player on any given team whose performance most heavily factors into whether or not their team is successful. For the past couple seasons two players stood out as x-factors for Utah, both Devontae Booker on offense and Gionni Paul on defense. Moving into 2016, both have moved on from the program and so a new player will emerge as the x-factor for this year's team.
