SALT LAKE CITY — Unlike last season, the Utah football team’s opening game focused on the team itself and not the opponent.
Sure, it could be because the Utes (1-0) came into Thursday game 37-0 against Big Sky teams and in-state rival Southern Utah (0-1) isn’t seen as much of a threat. But it’s mostly due to the team having several roster changes thanks to graduation. Thursday night brought a new era to the program as a new starting quarterback came on the field to lead Utah for the first time in four years.
The debut of quarterback Troy Williams went over well with the 45,945 fans at Rice-Eccles.
