SALT LAKE CITY — The sun was shining and Utah football was back in action at Rice-Eccles Stadium Saturday in the annual Red-White spring game.
Led by backup quarterback Jason Shelley, the Red team claimed a spring 21-14 victory over the White team in front of the approximately 6,000 fans in attendance. It was a developmental game meant to showcase the offensive play-making abilities of a unit learning a new system put in place by newly-hired offensive coordinator Andy Ludwig.
“Offense executed well. It was a watered down version of the offense, very vanilla, so we didn’t have a lot that we showed, but I thought the execution was clean for the most part,” head coach Kyle Whittingham said.
