Utah State vs. Utah - September 14, 2024

Utah’s whiteout crowd left an impression on Westlake DL Malakai Leilua. The atmosphere and family culture strengthened the Utes’ standing in his recruitment.

You can tell how much Semi Taulanga means to his teammates. Wayshawn Parker describes the joy of seeing him score his first touchdown against. Then, talked about the mindset they take together blocking for others.

Byrd Ficklin has embraced a pretty unique role in Utah's offense. With that his opportunities can change from week to week, but his approach doesn't: stay prepared, support his teammates and make the most of every opportunity.

Devon Dampier had plenty of appreciation & praise for Wayshawn Parker and Semi Taulanga.

Ryan Gunderson offered an important perspective on Devon Dampier's performance against Kansas. The biggest improvement wasn't necessarily about throwing the football. It was about leadership, bringing the offense together and responding to adversity.
