? Utah then went through full-team work with the first and second units rotating possessions.
? The live work then moved to the two-minute drill from the offense's own 45-yard line.
From Coach Whittingham ...
? Today's practice focused on situational details and disguising formations.
? Program has had success with position switches because they recruit athletes who have raw athletic talent.
? The coaching staff has a good chemistry. The key to build continuity is limiting egoes and becoming comfortable with the players.
? The staff has done a good job recruiting top in-state talent.
? The focus of spring practice is to build on technique and fundamentals (as opposed to schemes), which will in turn help win games.
