" Back in Salt Lake City last week to give a talk at Utah's clinic for high school football coaches, the former Utah coach spent a couple of days around his old defensive coordinator Kyle Whittingham's program and marveled at the toughness on display."

"You want to watch toughness, go out and watch Utah football practice. They're unlike others. It's a tough (expletive) program. You know why? They got a tough (expletive) head coach. Man, I get chills thinking about what I saw the last two days. It's a tough man's game," Meyer said.

" In 2021, an anonymous Pac-12 coach told Athon Sports about Utah and Whittingham, "His team is a brand. It's a toughness and defense. They're the most physical team in the conference every single year now, and they're one of the meanest in the game. This is all Whit (Kyle Whittingham); it's his mindset, it's his attitude. 'Mental toughness' is a cliche but Whit has those guys ready. They're even, never too high or low."

"Former Arizona State center Cohl Cabral told KSLSports.com in 2019 that it's "night and day how much more physical they are," and that "you hope you have a bye the week before or after" playing the Utes."

I just remember the Arizona game last season. Utah was rag-dolled, out physicaled and out smarted.
seemed like the opposite of tough. but a lot of the toughest utah guys were injured that day, and didn't play.

AZ and Oregon both were too much for us last year.
Lincoln Riley has never beaten Utah and it felt good to send U$C off to the B1G with 3 straight losses.

Nobody has ever looked forward to a trip to Lubbock, Waco, or the part of town where UH is located.

Yes, no one wants to take a trip to Lubbock. They all want to move here.
