Monday Mailbag: Utah Football Fall Camp 10 Questions, 10 Predictions
Utah football fall camp is officially here. Steve Bartle and Josh Bennett break down the biggest questions facing Morgan Scalley and the Utes as they begin preparing for a potential Big 12 championship run.
What would make Scalley’s first season a genuine success? How much control will Devon Dampier receive in Kevin McGiven’s offense? And can Utah rebuild both lines of scrimmage without lowering its championship ceiling?
The guys discuss:
• McGiven’s unconventional definition of offensive balance
• Dampier taking greater ownership at the line of scrimmage
• How Utah can creatively involve Byrd Ficklin
• Braden Pegan, Kyri Shoels and the receiver room’s vertical potential
• Replacing Spencer Fano and Caleb Lomu along the offensive line
• Karson Kaufusi and Utah’s young defensive-tackle rotation
• Whether Colton Swan can generate pressure without a dominant edge rusher
The episode closes with rapid-fire fall camp predictions covering position battles, breakout freshmen, impact transfers, Utah’s strongest defensive unit and the players most likely to become fan and media favorites.
