In the first Ute Proud observance in November 2014, Arizona’s running game shredded Utah’s defense, Native American dancers performed in driving rain during halftime and Ute coach Kyle Whittingham walked onto the field in the closing seconds, preventing his offense from running one last play.
Four years later, the landscape looked entirely different. Utah's offense produced five touchdowns in the first 36 minutes, members of the Ute tribe celebrated their ties to the school on a crisp evening and Whittingham was involved in his 200th victory as a Utah staff member.
So the Utes have won consecutive Pac-12 games for the first time since October 2016, when they started a three-game run by beating Arizona, and now their season gets even more interesting.
