The Rise of the MOST UNDERRATED Program in College Football (Utah Football) 

As a Utah fan..the fact that you knew he was offered both jobs and still stuck with Utah...next level research my guy!👌 Props

I'm a Bama fan thru and thru, but I live in Utah now and I've had the privilege of seeing Utah play in person. Incredible experience. Love what they're doing out here

Utah has great development, they just gotta get recruits.

I have MAJOR RESPECT for programs like Utah,& even Iowa. They get guys that "fit" regardless of how many stars they have,& then they beef'em up,& coach 'em up. They know who they are, & don't deviate from their identity.

I’m an Illinois fan, and not all that familiar with Utah, but I’m starting to like them more and more.

Utah is one of my playoff teams along with Alabama, Ohio State, and NC State

Great video. Utah just needs the recruits. If you want to develop, possibly make it to the NFL and become a better overall person, Utah is the place for you. I believe that’s why they don’t recruit as well, a lot of people just want to play ball and have fun. Kyle has said many times that his goal is to have them leave better men than anything else. That’s his top objective.

I could seriously see Utah start to get their recruiting leveled up if they take down Lincoln Riley this year, Utah may not have ranked well among the classes but added more 4 star recruits this 2022 class than they have the last few years which shows to me kids are paying attention to Utah and if they can keep this rolling I could seriously see a long stretch of dominance on the horizon

It’s been amazing to watch the Utes trajectory over the last 20 years. Whittingham is a Kingmaker, taking mid star players and executing an insane metamorphosis in skill and ability. I believe this is their year to make the playoffs! Go Utes! #22forever

Great video, and great topic. The Utes are a team that has earned the college football world's respect, year in, and year out. I'm an OU fan, and I am always tipping my hat to the Utes.

Go Utes!! Great informational video. I love all the content and graphics. Plus you put it together without a shot of yourself. Amen. If you watch all the Pac12 spring games in 2022. Plus watch a few other power 5 football spring games, you will see that the Utah Utes are ready to play now and they are extremely hungry. Cam Rising is firing on all cylinders! He is a captain of the team and a great motivator for his fellow football players to "RISE UP" and win. 22 Forever.

Utah is built like a SEC team with no top talent. They are what we thought Stanford would be on a consistent basis.

What could have been if Utah started Cam Rising at the beginning of last season instead of Charlie “Bye bye” Brewer.

Maybe its just because I’m a pac12 fan. But, ive taken Utah seriously since they’ve been in the pac12. Washington, oregon, Colorado, and Stanford have had their good stretches since the Pac 10 became the Pac 12. But, it seems like Utah has been able to have by far the most sustained success. As a Huskie fan, I always feel like Utah is consistently one of our toughest matchups of the year. However, They cant ever seem to win their “big games”, wether it be in conference, or nonconference.

I’ve been a Utah fan all my life. When I was a kid, the school was mostly known for science programs. The football team was fair, it wasn’t typically anything amazing. But then they hired Urban Meyer, who wasn’t there for very long but all Utah has done since then for the past 18 years is build up its program. Utah is consistently physical; top teams avoid scheduling them due to their upset potential, and then the next week they’re tired because of the game against Utah. I’m happy for them because they have a lot more to play for then they used to. It used to be the game against BYU was half the season’s hype, so they’ve grown a lot.

I see Utah in the CFB playoff mix in 2022

another great video man, liked the info you got and very well build and well put together, keep up the great work, hope my boston college do something

I’m a Florida fan and I’m a little worried about them being Billy Napiers first game for sure.

Brilliant analysis. Liked and subscribed. I look forward to more great commentary.

The secret is recruit from your state and then find the perfect coach the rest will take care of itself!! I absolutely love Utah’s football team

As an Ohio State fan, I was actually surprised at how good they were. Even though Ohio State had their own problems.

Great video! And Go Utes! My alma mater!!!

Great video!!!

Dude. This makes me so happy.

happy to see Utah getting some love and recognition

YESSS go Utes! loved this video break down of my team! I definitely hope they can pull it off this season and bust the playoff like they busted the BCS before!

and can i just say that their fight song is by far one of the best in cfb!!

If only players would realize what a great place Utah is to develop and get national attention. With just a little more talent Utah is a top 5 team every year instead of a top 25 team.

Those boys gonna go crazy!

I was born into a big Utes fan family, many of us are alumni as well. I see them continuing having success, I think the program is great, it just boils down to recruiting. I'm sure they'll get there eventually, as in the broad scheme of things them being in the Pac conference is still fairly new.

I think Whittingham is a heck of a coach. I think his only downfall is that he rarely let's his offense really open it up. He's a bit of a control freak which is part of what has made them so consistent, but also gives them a ceiling.

As a Texas fan I was sad when Rising left knew he would be good somewhere.

Watching this at the end of the season, I have to say we actually exceeded my personal expectations this year. Our main problem was that we had way too many players on Defense graduate, and at Utah Defense is our bread and butter. But if we can have a solid quarterback next year (yes, that's a big if), and if we don't lose too many players to transfers or the NFL I can see a ton of potential for next season. Even this year the Defense finally matured and got back to a true Utah Defense. It's too bad that Florida game has to be the very first one. It usually takes us about 3 games to finally get our team together. But maybe Florida will also not be completely put together yet, and maybe playing at elevation in front of the MUSS and North Endzone will be enough for us to skate through that game. It's also rough that the Baylor game will be the second game of the season. At least Weber State should give us a moment of breathing room. It's a rough schedule. We get USC, Oregon, and Washington as well as Oregon State and UCLA - which at least this year is ALL of the top teams in the conference. Of course, being top in the PAC-12 is rarely consistent. Honestly, I think our best team is probably going to be 2024 or 2025 because all of those amazing red-shirt freshmen we saw this year will be seniors (assuming they don't leave early). But if we can survive our 2023 schedule we potentially have an extremely compelling strength of schedule next year and a very good argument for a Playoff spot if we can manage to go undefeated with perhaps even a shot if we have one loss depending on what happens in the rest of the country.

I could feel your pain about the Wisconsin Badgers in the last few sentences of the video 😭 one day my man one day

LETS GOOOOOO UTES watched the rose bowl live sad we couldn’t hold on😭

Always #UteProud 🔴⚫️⚪️ being a season ticket holder last season was special. #LLTJ #LLAL

Ute alum 2006-2009 ppl forget we beat Alabama in the sugar bowl.

I am a huge Utes fan. I would actually have us ahead of USC… if we played USC at like Week 4. With that being said, one thing you have to mention about last year Utes is that last season, we played for both Ty Jordan and Aaron Lowe. We retired the number 22, and the whole mantra was 22% better and 4th quarter moment of loudness (also, stupid that ESPN, ABC, and others never showed it). The other big reason that we might not make the playoffs is a huge reason. Devin Lloyd was a beast, and we lose him. Covey is also gone, and we used him for a lot of things. He is a huge loss because Utah has a huge weakness at WR, and he was also our special teams player. I do think we make a NY6 game (if we go at least 2-1 OOC), as our secondary and running game can get better, but passing is our weakness (not because of Rising), and we don’t have an Bradley Anae or Nate Orchard pass rusher type of guy, which is very important for our team. That last part was very telling against Ohio State in the Rose Bowl. PS: I would love for Utah to play Wisconsin home-and-home. Not for Rose Bowl, though. It would be my dream to beat an Ohio State or Michigan team in the Rose Bowl. Beating you guys would be awesome as well, and you are a great program no doubt. But it isn’t the same as beating Ohio State in the Rose Bowl.

I just wish they’d expand the college football playoff. We could see teams there that we hardly ever do. Teams like Notre Dame, Oklahoma State, Baylor and other good teams that just cant quite make the cut. 4 is way too little and it makes the cfp predictable and boring. If it was 14 teams like in the NFL that would be perfect.

With divisions not being a thing anymore, there's a really good chance for a USC vs Utah PAC-12 Championship matchup. Big for both programs

Dan is the man! I think he needs more credit than he gets. Not expecting a natty first year but sure a well named bowl game. Years 1+ cpf contender!

In my opinion, Utahs upcoming game against Florida this year screams upset like Oregon v.s Ohio State last year. Besides we need a good PAC-12 as PAC-12 after dark is the best.

all utah needs is higher ranked recruits they have one of the best player development programs in the country in my opinion they do all this with only 2-3 stars and a couple 4 stars

That team in Meyers final year was a juggernaut, and should have been playing for the natty, they averaged over 14 points above any team they defeated and that is remarkable. They were snubbed by the BCS, and forced to play Pitt that year, while a 1 loss Texas got to play against the Trojans.

I just wonder what they could do if Cam Rising started the whole last season

8:30 man predicted USC and UCLA's rise this year. Dang. Still. Utah prevailed.

Boise State fan here. Utah is Legit. They are one of my favorite teams. I love what they did to Alabama in the sugar bowl! I need a Utah hat!

How did the Florida game go?

This guy is what you call a COACH!

CRAZY IF THEY ARE ABLE TO KEEP ALL THEIR TOP TALENT IN UTAH IT WOULD BE A TOP KNOTCH PROGRAM.

Anyway you Slice it, Salt Lake City, Utah is a Great Place to be! Fun N Football on the Wasatch Front. Utah Means Home on Mountaintop.

utah will make playoff this year no doubt but i dont know if they win it will be close. go utes!!!!!!!!

The Utes still need to stay humble and hungry. Utah still struggles against top 5 talent. It’s the passion and fundamentals that make Utah good I hope they don’t get arrogant and forget who they are.

If utahs head coach can win a natty, I could say he is goated because someone like that has never had the resources like Bama Ohio state usc Michigan, and I don’t put Clemson in that discussion because look at their winning percentage without dabo and with dabo in my opinion recruiting and developing dabo is one the best ever and two championships to back it up

Yessir go Utes

I wanted the utes to win the rose bowl so bad but their secondary is just plain awful. OSU made them look pitiful once they got rolling, damn near 600 yards receiving for one guy? Wtf.

Kind of bol shit how many years its taken to get a playoff in football

OLE MISS WOULD BE A CLOSE SECOND FOR UNDERRATED

Cameron Rising is going to win the Heisman trophy and Utah is the best team in all of college football.

They have a very easy schedule this year.. Only Oregon and Florida look like they could have a chance of upsetting them... They got a chance of running the gauntlet... We'll see if they end up being the Iowa St. of last year..

Utah always been good to me they just hadn't had a superstar qb to lead the offense until Tyler Huntley maybe you can throw Alex Smith in there and I think cam rising might finally be the chosen one for the Utes at qb a little better than Tyler Huntley

This is what I want Maryland to be.

Go Utes!!

Utes next playground is Big 12

Best program rn in the pac

First, huge respect for Kyle. He does field teams, repeatedly, that far outplay their recruiting ranking. I do expect that the stars will align for Utah/Kyle and maybe it is next year. The problem: they simply need to recruit at a higher level. You can only coach-up so much and that is why the stars need to align. Still too much of a talent gap. IMHO: Oregon was coached horribly last year, picked the wrong QB, and simply chose the most predictable and least effective play calling strategies possible. Add to that: Mario lost the locker room, and was working on his next job long before his announcement. He was not focusing on Oregon. Oregon is loaded with talent and, in my opinion, now has effective coaching staff. So, the talent difference is significant. I watched Oregon's spring game, see the difference in player buy-in, see how they are recruiting, and saw live that what the coaches say they will do... it is actually happening. I also expect a learning curve. So, I admit, Oregon can have its own issues with all that talent. In the end, if I were to wager my own money, Oregon should repeat as PAC-12 champions and should beat Utah next year. They may not. Kyle may also have that year where the stars align. Rising was a stud last year. The QB is the most important player on the field. No doubt, it could happen. Can't wait to watch. Actual play on the field is all that matters.

They’ve owned Oregon lately

I like the Ute program, but what Riley has done with the transfer portal, SC is gonna be lit not only this year, but will be perennial contenders again in the future. Tough timing for Utah. FightOn.

Utah would never be able to be a Georgia. California, Texas, and Florida are the three biggest states for top notch recruits but Louisiana, Georgia, and Ohio aren't far behind. Georgia has a ton of talent in it's own backyard while Utah doesn't. The state of Utah has some terrific recruits but doesn't have close to the same depth and the money involved for Georgia football just dwarfs what Utah can spend, especially with how bad the Pac-12 has been run. As a Sun Devil, with the exception of when they play us, I always cheer for them so it would be great to see them compete and win a national championship but I don't see it happen...but will happily eat my words if proven wrong.

The fact the Oregon was considered a playoff contender absolutely boggles the mind. They were just simply terrible this year.

would love to see them in the big 12 with BYU

Ki-yi!

slow down and don't slur your words!

Go utes

rip Utah, rip Pac12

Here is a little impartial observation...my wife and I watched entire game and every time they showed Utah QB prior to the play I told her which side of the field play was going to ( Hint, watch his eyes move) after about ten times she started calling the same thing (he always looked last at the side his play was going) If we amateurs can read the QB, how easy for the other team ???

Jesus LUVS the Utes, #CanIbAMERICANJesus!!!!

The Autobiography of Urban Frank Meyer III. There. I fixed yer title.

As long as they don’t lose to SDSU this year. 😂

The PAC has not been a good football conf. for the last decade. So, using the old "parity is why the conf. can't get into the playoffs" is wrong. That being said Utah is a solid program. Not sure who they have coming back though. If they can get past Florida (they suck but winning gives Utah east coast exposure) and SDSU (another solid program) the only other game that might be an issue for them is USC. With the new NIL/transfer protal teams like USC can get real good in one off-season. I don't think the marshmallow at UCLA can relate to kids and the fashionistas at Oregon don't like being hit so they are probably not anything for Utah to worry about.

I'm just worried about what happens to Utah after the Pac 12 inevitably implodes next year. They need to join either the Big 10 or Big 12 as soon as possible, or they'll suddenly become irrelevant. I would actually prefer the Big 12, so that the Holy War with BYU could become a regular thing again.

Utah will win the Pac 12 USC will finish 4th

Go Gators!

PAC12 is about as prestigious as the MWC.

This is great. Unfortunately, USC has acquired a "dream team" through the transfer portal. USC will now be the team to beat in the Pac-12.

Go Gators

Utah had their chance when USC had Clay Helton...

It is crazy how Utah was a bottom of the barrel football school for so long. Then out of nowhere they get Coach Urban Meyer who does a miracle, and were lucky enough to get maybe an even better coach immediately after. It's strange to actually see the process of how a school goes from nothing to a yearly top 25 team.

Not this year, they've lost their two best players. Utes beat good teams like ASU, Oregon and UCLA and struggle against San Diego st and colorado, jekyl and Hyde team.

Utes are an elite Pac 12 team, but the Pac 12 is the worst Conference among the P5s. The utes have struggled to win any OOC P5 games the past 5 years. They're not underrted, but they're not terrible.

They look special…..until they play a 6-5 sec team.

they beat a bunch of weak teams, thrashed over rated Oregon a couple of times, and scored 45 against Ohio State's paper defense. that's not too much of a rise. lol they are a pretty good team though, no doubt. but they are not playoff worthy. they're like the Oklahoma or Ohio state of the Pac-12... dominate the conference, but would get Embarrassed in the CFP.

Until they lose to Florida. UF lost to Bama by 2 last year.

Lately , I’ve noticed Utah where most of the PAC 12 haven’t. They are a decent team. They will give you a good game . Now with the emergence of the Lincoln Riley /USC era coming , Utah will become just a Distant memory when it comes to being a contender .Let’s talk Trojans 🐎

Apreciando a una mujer tan hermosa. 2:24 sentadillas son unos KISSSSSS.Uno muchas y un buen ejercicio. 5:25 Se deja ver que hay muy buenos resultados 😍👍 Saludos desde la Cd.. de world los mortalesw abian apreciado tan hermosa mujer

Nobody cares about the pac-12 w/o a L.A. Winner?

The *true* dark horse playoff contender is about a 40 minute drive south on I15

Utah is great but I hope they fail since they mess up Oregon last season 😭

The pac12 is a joke. Utah is the best team in a conference that can’t even compete with G5 schools. Being the best team in the pac12 is like having the worlds nicest Pontiac Aztec. At the end of the day it’s still a shit car, and you’re still in a shit conference.

Boise State is America's team and easily is the most popular team in the Mountain Region
