  09/07/19 - Tyler Huntley, Sr/2020, Utah, 6-1, 196 (DS#20 QB) + More +

  Tyler Huntley passed for one touchdown and ran for another as No. 13 Utah held Northern Illinois to 69 yards in the second half and beat the Huskies 35-17 on Saturday. After a shaky first half, the Utah defense clamped down on the Huskies with an effective pass rush, an interception and a fourth-down stop. "We didn't play our best football defensively in that first half. Offensive, however, we did. We played very well form start to finish. I thought Tyler was outstanding," Utah coach Kyle Whittingham said. Huntley finished 14 for 19 for 214 yards and ran for 38 yards, without a sack for second straight game. "The coaches are asking more of me," the senior quarterback said. "Every time we come to the line I am ready to get us into a better play for the offense to execute. I take great pride in putting us int he best position." - AP College Football

  08/30/19 - Zack Moss, Sr/2020, Utah, 5-09, 223 (DS#7 RB) + More +

  Utah's defense picked up where it left off last season. BYU paid a steep price for it. The No. 14 Utes scored three touchdowns off three BYU turnovers to pull away for a 30-12 victory on Thursday night in the opener for both teams. Utah left no doubt about how strong its defense could be this season. Over the final 30 minutes, the Cougars gained just 104 yards on 18 total plays. "We heard all the time about how they had a great offense," safety Julian Blackmon said. "They have a great team for sure, but we know that man-for-man we're the better team. So at the end of the day, we just wanted to come out and prove that."

Utah's defense did its part, and Zack Moss highlighted the offensive effort. Moss ran for 181 yards and a touchdown to help the Utes (1-0) earn their ninth straight victory in the 100th game in the Holy War rivalry. The senior suffered a hand injury in fall camp and wore a protective splint after the game. It didn't seem to limit it him at all. Moss propelled the offense after halftime by gashing the Cougars for a series of big runs. He averaged 6.2 yards on 29 carries. The defense took care of the rest. - AP College Football

  08/06/19 - Zack Moss, Sr/2020, Utah, 5-09, 223 (DS#7 RB) + More +

  After posting back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons, Zack Moss appeared primed for a jump to the NFL. He turned more than a few heads when he chose to return to Utah for his senior season. The decision felt like a simple one for Moss. He wanted to be the first in his family to graduate college. The 5-foot-10 running back also believed he had some unfinished business on the field.

"The only thing I'm worrying about is going out and having a successful season with my team and trying to get this Pac-12 championship down and sealed for us," Moss told reporters after the Utes opened their fall camp. Utah has graduated from underdog to the preseason pick to win the Pac-12 title. Moss is helping to drive those expectations. The senior ran for 1,096 yards and 11 touchdowns last season before missing Utah's final five games with a knee injury. - AP College Football

  08/03/19 - Tyler Huntley, Sr/2020, Utah, 6-1, 196 (DS#20 QB) + More +

  Utah quarterback Tyler Huntley received quite a compliment on the opening day of fall camp. It came from offensive coordinator Andy Ludwig. "I'm real pleased with Tyler Huntley. He's a football fanatic and works very hard at it. He did a super job over the summer with his strength and conditioning and then studying the game," said Ludwig. "I think Tyler is putting himself in position to play the best football of his career."

Huntley enters his senior year with 19 career starts, leading the Utes to a 12-7 mark. He's played in 23 games overall and has racked up 5,115 yards of total offense - 4,259 passing and 856 rushing. The numbers, though, don't tell the whole story about Huntley. Ludwig was excited about what he saw on tape after returning as Utah's offensive coordinator in January after more than a decade away and following stints at California, San Diego State, Wisconsin and Vanderbilt. He liked the things Huntley exhibited on the field. - Deseret News

  07/31/19 - Manny Bowen, rSr/2020, Utah, 6-1, 235 (DS#999 OLB) + More +

  Utah linebacker Manny Bowen, a highly touted graduate transfer from Penn State, has reportedly decided to step away from football. UteZone.com is reporting that Bowen met with Utah coach Kyle Whittingham about his decision and confirmed the news through multiple sources. Paul Kirk, Utah's associate athletics director for strategic communications, was unable to confirm the reports. However, he said that Whittingham is scheduled to have a media availability after the Utes open fall camp Wednesday afternoon.

Bowen, who made 134 tackles over 35 games at Penn State, participated in spring ball and was projected to join BYU transfer Francis Bernard as one of Utah's starting linebackers this season. Sophomore Devin Lloyd is likely to fill the void. Stanford transfer Sione Lund, a sophomore, is the other linebacker on Utah's pre-fall two-deep depth chart. - Deseret News
