8/7/2019 2:50 PM | Football
SALT LAKE CITY – The Utah football program practiced at Rice-Eccles Stadium for the first time this fall camp today, wrapping up its seventh practice in cloudy conditions.Â
Â
For today's episode of Bill Riley's Football Camp Report, the voice of the Utes got the chance to chat with all-Pac-12 running back Zack Moss.Â
The depth at running back this season will be a strength for the Utes, returning letter winners in Devin Brumfield, TJ Green, Devonta'e Henry-Cole and Mason Woodward, along with some explosive newcomers in Micah Bernard and Jordan Wilmore.Â
