SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — After dropping a heartbreaker to Florida in the season opener, Cameron Rising said Utah didn’t want to leave anything to chance against Southern Utah.
The Utah Utes reserve each Tuesday throughout the season for their longest and most physical practice. It’s a chance to fix things at near game speed and then turn the page. The 13th-ranked Utes (0-1) aren't looking back at their 29-26 loss at Florida last weekend, the one that dented their College Football Playoff hopes.
Having secured their first home win since September 14, 2019, the Thunderbirds of Southern Utah University will be looking to keep the DeLane Fitzgerald era rolling when they visit the #13 Utes.
Doomed in the season opener by going cold in the red zone, Utah is fighting for increased efficiency Saturday when they host Southern Utah in Salt Lake City.
