Utes Dominate Season Opener Under New Coach | Utah Utes Football News

Utah’s football team crushed Idaho 74-14 in their 2026 opener, with QB Devon Dampier looking sharp and head coach Morgan Scalley delivering his first full-season win — a major boost for the program. Scalley’s calm, forward-focused leadership energized the team, pushing them to play their game and bounce back fast from mistakes. The offense was explosive, powered by depth at QB — Scalley praised his dual-threat signal-callers as a nightmare for defenses. And yes, even the reporter had a shaky moment post-game trying to film without a tripod — but they pulled off a dramatic save. A strong start, both on the field and in coaching momentum — the Utes are clearly building something special. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
