Spring Camp Enters Week 4
The second scrimmage of the spring is on tap for Saturday, Apr. 8 from 10 a.m.-noon in Rice-Eccles Stadium. The scrimmage is open to the public. The Utes will hold closed practices on Tuesday and Thursday.
Â
Camp Notes
After going "live" at last week's scrimmage, the quarterbacks will likely be off limits to tacklers for the remainder of the spring, although a final decision has yet to be determined. Troy Williams and Tyler Huntley are solidly one-two at quarterback … Two corners who have come on strong are junior Casey Hughes and sophomore Julian Blackmon ... Redshirt freshman Baba Falemaka is having a standout spring out at tight end … Sophomore Hayes Hicken continues to make a strong bid for the open job at place kicker after a good showing at the first scrimmage of the spring on Mar. 31.
Â
Scrimmage Script
The Utes will run around 80 plays at the scrimmage on Saturday, Apr. 8. The drills will include: drive-it situations from various locations (No. 1 offense vs. No. 1 defense and No. 2 offense vs. No. 2 defense), two- and four-minute situations, short yardage (third and one, third and two, fourth and one), backed up and red zone. The Utes will also work on special teams' fundamentals.
Â
Looking Ahead
Six practice sessions and the Red-White game remain on the 2017 spring schedule. For the first time, the spring game will not signal the end to camp. The final closed practice will be on Tuesday, Apr. 18. The Red-White game is scheduled for Saturday, Apr. 15 at 11 a.m. in Rice-Eccles Stadium. It will be the 16th version of a formalized spring game. Prior to 2002, Utah's spring camp concluded with a situational scrimmage rather than an actual game.
