Whittingham cannot underplay the importance of this game on the road. New Mexico historically gives the Utes fits. Throughout the history of the match-up, Utah either wins by a lot or loses close games. If the game stays close through three quarters, the Lobos and their fans will smell the wafting scent of an upset.

When the 2008 football season started, defensive coordinator Gary Andersen hoped that he'd eventually have four starting defensive tackles to choose from. Two weeks into the season, he would have been satisfied with two.

If the Lobo donning the No. 21 jersey runs into a pack of Utes this weekend and is not brought down immediately, this shouldn't be a shocker. He runs fast, breaks tackles, and is one hard guy to bring to the turf.

The Utes play New Mexico and their high-powered, high-pressure, sack-the-quarterback 3-3-5 defense that head coach Rocky Long has been running for the past 15 years.

Walking onto a Division 1 basketball team is no cakewalk. The guys trying out have to bring a lot of heart with them.

College football needs to spread the wealth. It needs a revolution. That's why I encourage all Utah fans to root for Texas, Alabama and Penn State to remain undefeated through their remaining schedules. We need outrage where we can get it.

It's back to the basics for the Utah women's volleyball team as it prepares to face Mountain West Conference foe New Mexico.

After two organized scrimmages, the Runnin' Utes have the looks of becoming an elite team in the Mountain West Conference.

It seems Lauren and the Utes are peaking at just the right time. With the conference tournament right around the corner, Lauren and her teammates are as committed as ever and they're having fun along the way.

Unfortunately for Jazz fans, this won't be their year. Boozer and D-Will aren't Karl Malone and John Stockton, D-Will is no "CP3." This is still Utah and we're still talking about the same old Jazz.
