Three Game Day Thoughts
1. Night game at Rice-Eccles Stadium
Utah has really leaned into the Dark Mode theme this season. As they should. There is something truly extraordinary about Rice-Eccles at night.
“I don’t know (what it is) but there is something magical about Rice-Eccles and night games,” head coach Kyle Whittingham said in last week’s press conference.
The atmosphere in the stadium tonight should be pretty electric. It’s been a while since the last home game at night for the Utes, there weren’t any last season.

Utah is also coming off of a rather momentous road victory at Oklahoma State, a rather ideal scenario for homecoming week. This weekend has featured the throwback uniforms, which now have the all black set to match the Dark Mode theme as well.
There is certainly a lot of excitement for this game, defensive tackle Junior Tafuna summed it up best earlier this week.
“Rice-Eccles is always louder after dark,” he said. “Rice-Eccles is going to be popping, it’s going to be loud and I’m excited, we’re all excited.”
2. A chance to go 5-0 with all the context around the start of this season
Utah football has a chance to do something significant this weekend in the Big 12 Conference.
But first, consider that Utah has seen their star quarterback in four quarters of action this season.
Not only that, but they lost their No. 2 cornerback within the first couple series of the season. Then their veteran defensive leader and top pass rusher have each missed the last two games.

Yet, Utah has an opportunity tonight night to improve to 5-0 and solidify their standing atop the Big 12. Something many only considered possible if Cam Rising were healthy, let alone Kenan Johnson, Karene Reid, and Connor O’Toole.
Regardless of what happens tonight, Utah has positioned themselves favorably with their best ball ahead of them.
3. Curious to hear about the new concessions process
The fan experience is an important dynamic in football games. In the previous two home games, the experience was less than ideal.
Due to significant concourse congestion issues, Utah Athletics and Rice-Eccles Stadium have changed the process around their concessions.
These issues have centered around empty soda cups at purchase and long lines at refill stations, which exacerbated long-time congestion issues.
Utah fans will now be provided a full soda cup at initial purchase. That eliminates the primary issue of needing to wait in an additional line to fill up the cup with soda, whether initially or as a refill. Additional soda machines have been installed to help speed up the entire process for fans as well.
Curious to hear how much these changes help the fan experience tonight.
Two Arizona vs Utah Questions
1. How does Utah defend Tetairoa McMillan?
The Wildcats have one of the top receivers in the country. He’s averaging over 150 yards per game as the focal point of their passing attack. He’s the sort of talent that demands special attention.
At the same time, Arizona hasn’t gotten much out of their other pass catchers. Kansas State beat Arizona pretty handily by making it tough on McMillan but more importantly, limiting the production of others.
How Utah defends McMillan and the rest of the passing attack is something that I’ll be very interested in tonight.
2. What improvements does the Utah offense make?
The run game has really come on strong the past two weeks with the emergence of Micah Bernard as RB1.
Dorian Singer (161 yards), Brant Kuithe (142), and Money Parks (84) have been pretty productive in the passing game as well.
Utah is 4-0 but has only enjoyed stretches of highly potent offensive output.
The offense has lost the turnover battle in two games and it’s struggled to convert efficiently on 3rd downs this season.
There is plenty for the offense to clean up. There is also another level they can get to with their execution.
Utah needs to show offensive progress tonight, exactly what sort of progress will be interesting to see.
Score Prediction for Arizona vs Utah
The Utes will certainly be motivated for this one for several reasons. The defense needs another strong performance, while the offense needs to play make improvement. The home crowd also needs to play a big role tonight for Utah.
Given Arizona is coming off of a bye, they’ll be fresh and extra prepared for this one as well. That makes this one a competitive game. Still, Utah gets it down and goes into their bye week unblemished.

PAGE, ARIZ., – A suspect has been arrested after two people were found shot to death inside a home near the Arizona-Utah border.
What we know:
On July 5 at 11:30 p.m., the Page Police and Fire Communications Center responded to a report that two people had been shot near Elm and El Camino.
Once at the home, officers found a man and a woman with gunshot wounds. They were pronounced dead at the scene.
“The suspect was unknown and not on scene when officers arrived,” police said.
Dig deeper:
Police secured the home and obtained a search warrant. Investigators then began processing the crime scene.
“Evidence collected provided investigators with a person of interest who may have been present when the shootings occurred,” police said. “Investigators located the person of interest and interviewed him but did not initially charge him with any crimes related to the double homicide investigation.”
The next day, the person of interest was arrested and booked into jail. He’s accused of two counts of first-degree murder.
What we don’t know:
No identities were released. Police didn’t release any details on what led up to the shooting.
Local perspective:
Police “do not believe there is any remaining threat to the community, as the alleged suspect and the weapon allegedly used have been seized by law enforcement.”
What you can do:
If anyone has information related to the investigation, they advise contacting Detective Terry TerEick at ttereick@pageaz.gov.
