It’s not a PAC-12 Championship, it’s not a Rose Bowl appearance, but 8 wins with the amount of injuries and adversity this team endured is amazing. Utah fans should be proud of the way this team still battled this year. Now, on to 2024. It’s gonna be Big.

Quick thought: Utah might be the most resilient team in terms of next man up mentality in the country. They are 8-2 despite losing Kuithe, Curry, missing Tavion for a bit, starting Barnes on the fly with Rising out, being without Kincaid and moving a QB to RB…that’s incredible.
