After Further Review: Utah Goes 8–0, Scalley’s Impact & Holy War Stakes
Utah is 8–0, No. 3 in the AP poll and heading into a Holy War with championship and playoff implications. How high can these Utes climb?
Steve Bartle and Josh Bennett take another look at Utah’s 49–25 win over Cincinnati, breaking down Devon Dampier’s efficient performance, Hunter Andrews’ breakout, Daniel Bray’s emergence and an offensive line that continues to improve. On defense, we examine the takeaways, developing pass rush and coverage issues that need attention—and put the second half into perspective.
Then we step back to discuss Morgan Scalley’s impact beyond the scoreboard: reconnecting former players, energizing the program and embracing more possibilities on offense.
Plus, where will Utah land in Tuesday’s first College Football Playoff rankings? Steve and Bennett have different expectations. We explore the Big 12 title race, Utah’s playoff outlook and why the next two games against BYU and Arizona carry so much weight.
We close with a quick look at Alex Jensen’s Runnin’ Utes ahead of their season opener against Long Beach State.
