Utah Utes football has been part of Salt Lake City since 1892, blending altitude, attitude and precision at Rice-Eccles Stadium. Guided by long-tenured head coach Kyle Whittingham, Utah rose from BCS buster to perennial power, claiming Pac-12 titles in 2021 and 2022 after earlier Mountain West crowns. Unforgettable moments include the 2005 Fiesta Bowl triumph and the 2009 Sugar Bowl win over Alabama, capping undefeated seasons sparked by stars like Alex Smith and Eric Weddle.

Game days are loud and united. The MUSS student section turns third downs into earthquakes, tailgates line Guardsman Way, and the Block U glows red over the valley after victories. The Holy War with BYU ignites the state each season, delivering intensity from kickoff to the final whistle. If you crave big hits, crisp execution and a fan base that stands the entire game, the Utes deliver.
