In the event of severe weather, training will move inside the Spence Eccles Field House.RED-WHITE GAME

Due to injuries, the Utes won't be able to field two full teams in the spring game, so some players will pull double duty. Exactly who will wear both jerseys will be a game-day decision ... Ute linebacker Joe Jianonni (mid-foot sprain on his left foot) will have surgery on Tuesday, April 18 ... Other starters who will miss the spring game due to injury: Eric Weddle (hamstring), Brian Johnson (knee), Brian Hernandez (ankle), Steve Tate (shoulder), Soli Lefiti (shoulder), Eric Pettit (back) ... Coach Kyle Whittingham plans to limit the plays of some other starters as well, among them Casey Evans, Kelly Talavou and Martail Burnett ... sophomore John Peel has moved from receiver to safety and is doing very well ... Bradon Godfrey, who had to sit out last season as a transfer (Southern Utah), has impressed at receiver this spring.
