Utes' D, Phillips' leg lift Utah to victory

And everyone holds their breath.

And everyone holds their breath.

What. A. Game. 

Holy hell. You couldn't ask for a better start to the 2010 season. This game had it all - a blowout in the making, a comeback, a missed FG as time expired (that didn't actually happen due to a timeout) and an overtime UTAH WIN!

I'll have more on the game later, but damn did the defense impress (for most of the game). It wasn't always pretty, but whenever you beat the 15th ranked team in the nation, you're doing something right. 

Utah is 1-0! 

GO UTES!

GAME DAY! GAME DAY! GAME DAY!

Game day is finally here! After months and months of speculation and talk and endless predictions, we're finally only hours away from the start of the 2010 season. 

How 'bout that? 

We've actually been lucky because this entire off-season was dominated by college football news. We're not going to see something like that for a while and I guarantee you next summer will drag with what awaits the football program in September 2011. 

But right now, it's September 2010 and that means a new season.

Not long from now, Ute fans from all across the state will venture up to the campus and begin tailgating hours before the game.

We'll eat, we'll drink and then as dusk begins to cast an orange glow over the Salt Lake Valley, we'll head toward the stadium for the first time since November of last year.

There we'll settle into our seats and cheer on the Utes - hopefully to victory.

It's been a long summer. At 6:30 tonight, summer unofficially ends and the football season begins. 

GO UTES!

Kyle Whittingham's weekly press conference

Kyle Whittingham held his first press conference of the season yesterday and the U has been kind enough to upload video of it to YouTube. 

Discussion, of course, revolves around Utah's opening game against the Pitt Panthers. Whitt seems optimistic about this season and the progress the team has made in camp over the last few weeks. 

Of course, we won't know how much hype turns into reality until Thursday.

Here's hoping his optimism leads to great results! Video after the jump...
