After Utah's second scrimmage of the spring season, the defense continued to showcase how impressive it could be next season.

When it comes to spring practices, it's usually the offensive side of the ball that takes longer to get accustomed to play-calling8212;that includes all new players and staff members who weren't part of last year's season.

Utah's first official scrimmage of the 2009 Spring Season was under the bright lights of Rice-Eccles Stadium, in front of fans speckled throughout the west side of the stands during a blustery cold evening.

Louks said his goal is to get back to the Bowl Championship Series plateau again while winning a second straight Mountain West Conference title. And he's ready for what's ahead.

Although spring practice commenced last week, the front five have already taken a big hit in this young season.

The Utah football team announced its entire 2009 schedule Thursday as it gets its season underway against a very familiar face.

A day before the most important day of their post-collegiate careers, the Utah seniors partaking in the annual Pro Day event needed some moral support.

Monday's Utah Pro Day is an annual event that features Utes eligible for the 2009 NFL Draft who will perform workouts that include weight room, shuttle runs, sprints, agility tests and individual workouts.

Almost two months after the Utes shocked the college football world in the Sugar Bowl, the coaching merry-go-round has finally ceased. Utah hired J.D. Williams, a seven-year coaching veteran of the Pac-10, as its cornerbacks coach.

Five days after the national signing day saw the Utes ink six native Texan recruits, Utah football head coach Kyle Whittingham found his replacement for recently-departed offensive line coach Charlie Dickey in Blake Miller.
