Sports in Utah in 2018 started with the Jazz trying to prove to everyone they really could ball and ended with the Jazz struggling to live up to the proof they had conjured. It saw Utah football do something the Utes never had done. BYU football climbed out of a hole. Utah State soared. A native son had one of the best showings of any on the PGA Tour. A 15-year-old kid won the State Am. An NBA player ripped the Jazz and their fans.
Names from the past reared their heads. Bronco Mendenhall made waves. Urban Meyer did stupid stuff.
