What if Urban Meyer Stayed at Utah in 2005?

To begin this series on what-if moments in Utah Utes sports history, we start with easily the biggest what-if moment. Urban Meyer helped put Utah Football on a national stage when he took over as head coach in 2003 after leading the Bowling Green Falcons to prominence when he took over in 2001. Urban Meyer brought a unique style to the game as he implemented his spread offense with an option-style attack. The Utes had gone 5-6 in 2002, and in Urban Meyer’s first year, they went 10-2 en route to a 17-0 victory in the Liberty Bowl over Southern Miss.
