SALT LAKE CITY — The University of Utah is an offense away from competing for the Pac-12 Championship. More accurately, it’s the passing game that has kept Utah from reaching the heights the program strives to obtain.
“That was the thing that kept us from winning a championship last year was not being able to throw the football nearly effectively enough,” Utah head coach Kyle Whittingham said. “That's got to change.”
That change is a must for Utah football. It’s not just a casual platitude to satisfy some preseason rhetoric, it’s a necessity and a focal point in a wide-open conference dominated by pass-heavy programs.
