Utah

Big 12 · 2026 season

The story so far

Utah fans opened the Scalley era giddy, then spent September and October fretting over a leaky secondary, shaky Dampier throws and bad officiating even as the wins piled up. A rattling escape at Colorado gave way to relief against Houston, and an 8-0 fan base now braces for a top-10 Holy War.

Season-long

  • Early worries about tackling and depth gave way to praise for a Week 3 shutout, then second-half collapses and a shredded secondary at Colorado, until Bennee's strip-sack against Houston finally brought the pass rush alive.

    “when your only TD comes from a defensive back dropping an INT and having it bounce in your hands, you know it's a rough day. Dampier and Ficklin are the best 1-2 QB combo in the country and WayShawn Parker has a legitimate Heisman campaign so far”
