Big 12 media days are heating up, and all the attention is on Utah’s new head coach Morgan Scalley—his first major public亮相 since taking over in December. With QB Devon Dampier and key players in tow, Scalley’s got 15 minutes on the main stage at The Star in Frisco to unveil his vision for the Utes. Projections have Utah ranked third in the Big 12, trailing only Texas Tech and BYU, thanks to proven talent like Dampier and Wayshawn Parker—but the offensive and defensive lines are a huge question mark. Both units lost all five starters, forcing new coordinators Jordan Gross and Jason McGiven to rebuild with inexperienced players and transfers. McGiven may keep things similar to last year’s run-heavy offense, but new receivers could give Dampier more weapons. The pressure’s on Scalley to prove he can lead this young, rebuilding team to the top.

Bear Bachmeier’s gutsy 22-yard touchdown run last October against Utah—when he chose to scramble over the defense instead of trusting the pass—became a legendary rivalry moment. Now, a year wiser and more experienced, he’s poised to lead BYU’s offense with a balanced game plan: lean on his arm more, but never forget his legs when the moment demands it. His ability to rise to the occasion, especially under pressure, could make this season unforgettable.

"Someone’s Life Is Changing Today..." - A message from Corey

Utah football kicks off a bold new era with Morgan Scalley at the helm, bringing stability after 21 seasons under Kyle Whittingham. With 18 new players and a fresh coaching staff, the Utes aim for a Big 12 title. Offensively, they’re upgrading play-calling and adding talent like Braden Pegan to boost a strong run game, while rebuilding the offensive line from scratch. Defensively, they’re reloading with new depth to fix run defense and add versatility, led by veteran players and new coordinators. Special teams remain solid with returning stars. Ranked 20th overall and projected fourth in the Big 12, Utah’s success hinges on how quickly Scalley’s revamped roster clicks.

Utah’s tight end future is up for grabs this season as new OC Kevin McGiven reshapes the role, with standout newcomers like Noah Bennee and Hunter Andrews vying for top spots while veteran “rhino” duo Semi Taulanga and Sione Motuapuaka prove they can dominate both run and pass games.

Happy 4th of July! - A message of Corey

Morgan Scalley, who spent nearly two decades rising through Utah’s football program—from administrative assistant to head coach—is finally stepping into the spotlight he’s always dreamed of. After a whirlwind transition when longtime coach Kyle Whittingham left for Michigan, Scalley took over mid-season, coached the bowl game, and quickly assembled a new staff while navigating the chaotic transfer portal. Players rave about his hands-on, relentless energy, as he pushes for a culture of being smart, nasty, and relentless—his signature RSNB ethos. Despite losing some talent, he’s kept key players like QB Devon Dampier and is building a competitive roster through strategic transfers. With deep roots in the program—having played there and with his dad a former player—he’s even donated $2 million to the school. Scalley’s ready to lead with his own style while honoring Utah’s tough, proud identity.
