Utah Football Cracks Top 25 In AP Poll

SALT LAKE CITY — After earning a dominant victory on the road against the Big Ten foe, UCLA, Utah has entered the AP Top 25.  Kyle Whittingham and the Utes check in at No. 25 in the newest edition.

Coming off a 5-7 season, the Utes went through drastic changes to revamp the offense. Devon Dampier headlined the changes, along with offensive coordinator Jason Beck, and those two starred in Utah’s 43-10 thumping of the Bruins.
