SALT LAKE CITY — The pads were on for the first time this season and the aggression was out Friday in Utah’s third practice of fall camp.
It was an outing again in favor of the defense, as coordinator Morgan Scalley threw all sorts of blitz packages and pressure defensive schemes at its opponent. The offense responded in a disjointed manner to counter the new defensive looks and struggled to advance the ball in 11-on-11 drills during the media observation period.
The stalwart effort on defense was highlighted by a Corrion Ballard interception against quarterback Tyler Huntley on a throw that was either off target or a result of receiver Jaylen Dixon misreading the route assignment.
