Did you hear? Utah has an offensive coordinator entering his 2nd year at the program. I know, I could hardly believe it myself. After setting records and lighting up Pac-12 defenses as the offensive coordinator at FCS powerhouse Eastern Washington, Troy Taylor took the OC gig at Utah in 2017.

When he arrived at Utah he was the 9th OC in 10 years; the fact he enters his second year at the helm is rare continuity at the position. Add in the fact that Utah has only finished once in the top 50 of offensive S&P+ since joining the conference (they were 55th last season), fully implementing and then committing to an offensive philosophy is probably the right move.
