The team lost many key players on both sides of the ball and will be faced with question marks at nearly every position when spring practice begins in a couple of weeks. In the midst of all that uncertainty, however, defensive back Eric Weddle stands out as one of the few players Utah fans can count on to be in the... none66@realfootball365.com (J.E.)

This versatility is something that is rarely seen in the NFL, where players tend to specialize and settle into one position. For example, watching ex-Trojan Reggie Bush put on a... none66@realfootball365.com (J.E.)

Because of the inevitability of player turnover, the only thing a coach can do is closely monitor his team's needs and stack the roster accordingly. It seems that someone may not have been paying attention in Salt Lake City. With the departure of senior running back Quinton Ganther, the Utah... none66@realfootball365.com (J.E.)

He suffered a season ending knee injury while trying to spark a rally late in the 4th quarter of a November 12th game against New Mexico, which forced him to miss the team's Emerald Bowl win against Georgia Tech and paved the way for unheralded backup Bret Ratliff's breakout performance in that... info@realfootball365.com (Hugo Guzman) Utah Utes 2006-02-21T16:21:08-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/utah/8761 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/utah/8761 It seems as if Utah Utes defensive coordinator Gary Andersen can do no wrong in terms of recruiting. He brought in top-flight recruits like Hawaii blue chipper Joe Faifili. He managed to lure eight highly touted in-state players. His recruiting class was recently named the top non-BCS class in the nation by Rivals.com and he himself was crowned as the top non-BCS recruiter in the land.

At this point, however, his opponent is not a rival defense, but his own body. After leading his team most of the way into a bowl berth (and replacing Heisman finalist and No. 1 NFL draft pick Alex Smith in the process), Johnson tore his left ACL in a loss to New Mexico last Nov. 12.

In the end, the TCU Horned Frogs were able to end the Utah Utes' 18-game winning streak and win the game 23-20. The game was decided on what some would say was a questionable play when Tye Gunn threw a 4-yard scoring pass to Michael DePriest. Another Horned Frogs... info@realfootball365.com (Hugo Guzman) Utah Utes 2005-09-16T05:18:05-05:00
