ON THE FANS OF RICE-ECCLES
Head Coach Kyle Whittingham
"They've been awesome…the football team, the coaches, everyone's feeding off the MUSS. They're like the batteries that make everything go. The crowd at Rice-Eccles for that Oregon game [in 2021] was the best environment I've ever been in. This was just a great show of support from our fans."
