SALT LAKE CITY — Ah spring, the tease to football we hate to love.
Real football is still months away, but any opportunity to watch or talk football will be had and enjoyed thoroughly. For the University of Utah, spring football is an opportunity to move on from four-year starting quarterback Travis Wilson, who helped Utah improve each season.
Although more took place at Utah’s first practice of spring, all the conversation was about the new quarterback battle and who will be the leading candidate for the starting job coming into fall camp. Head coach Kyle Whittingham said it’s an open battle between the three quarterbacks currently available on the roster for spring: junior Brandon Cox, junior college transfer Troy Williams and freshman Florida standout Tyler Huntley.
