RICE- ECCLES STADIUM / / / / / /

A Rice-Eccles Stadium record crowd of 47,825 turned out for Michigan’s visit in 2015.

W

ith its striking design, stunning mountain backdrop and panoramic views of downtown Salt Lake City and the Great Salt Lake, Rice-Eccles Stadium is recognized as one of the most beautiful college stadiums in the country. While the exterior scenery is captivating, the charged atmosphere inside Rice-Eccles Stadium makes it one of the 25 “toughest stadiums in the country” for opposing teams according to Bleacher Report.

Entering the 2016 season, Utah has played to 38-straight sellouts (35 which exceeded the seating capacity) in Rice-Eccles Stadium extending back to the 2010 opener against Pittsburgh. In its first 18 years, there have been 56 total standing-room-only crowds.

The venue’s seating capacity was increased from 45,017 to 45,807 in 2014, and as a result, 11 of the top 15 crowds in Rice-Eccles Stadium history were recorded in the last two years. The Utes averaged a school-record 46,533 fans per game in 2015, when they also recorded their two best single-game attendance marks (47,825 vs. Michigan and 47,798 vs. California). Dating back to its 13-0 Sugar Bowl campaign of 2008, Utah’s average attendance has exceeded the stadium’s capacity for eight consecutive years.

Opened in 1998 on the grounds of the old Ute (1927-71) and Rice (1972-97) stadiums, Rice-Eccles Stadium has seen several upgrades in ensuing years.

The latest is a state-of-the-art 122 x 64-foot video scoreboard that rises 137 feet above ground and was completed in the summer of 2016. One of the largest college football video boards in the country, it features a high definition display with a 16:9 aspect ratio. The enhanced software to run the board will deliver some of the best special effects in the sports industry and will synchronize with the LED boards in the north endzone. Another improvement for 2016 is a distributed sound system that will enhance the sound quality in every section of Rice-Eccles Stadium while also reducing noise to the surrounding community.

2016 UTAH FOOTBALL

Rice-Eccles Stadium has also hosted a number of other major sporting events, the most prominent being the Opening and Closing Ceremonies of the 2002 Salt Lake Olympic Winter Games.

The initial groundwork for Rice-Eccles Stadium began in 1996, when Utah Director of Athletics Chris Hill initiated a fundraising campaign to replace aging 32,500-seat Rice Stadium. A lead gift of $10 million soon came in from the George S. and Dolores Dore Eccles Foundation, steered by former Ute All-America skier Spence Eccles.

The total construction costs ran $50 million, of which $20 million came from private gifts, $10 million from athletics department bonding, $12 million from the University of Utah and $8 million from the 2002 Salt Lake Olympic Committee.

Preliminary construction work began in the summer of 1997. Two days after the final home game that fall, wrecking crews moved in and demolished Rice Stadium. Only the south end zone bleachers and the Rice name (Robert L. Rice contributed $1 million in the 1972 renovation) would carry over to the new venue. Rising from the rubble less than 10 months later was RiceEccles Stadium, an imposing concrete, steel and glass edifice that dominates the Salt Lake skyline.

Visible for miles is the stadium box, located 14 stories above ground and encased in a 400-squarefoot expanse of tempered glass. The box is supported by twin towers containing four high-speed elevators.

Occupants of the stadium box are treated to sweeping views of the Wasatch Mountains to the east and downtown Salt Lake City, the Great Salt Lake and the Oquirrh Mountains to the west.

The Cleone and Spence Eccles Scholarship Box on Level 4 seats 450 and has indoor-outdoor seating, along with eight suites. The Mezzanine on Level 5 provides another 17 suites.

Level 6 contains the John Mooney Working Press Area, named in honor of the late Ute football writer

and Salt Lake Tribune sports editor, and booths for television and radio (among them the Bill Marcroft Radio Booth, named for the former longtime “Voice of the Utes”). The press, TV and radio sections open into the Varsity Reception area, which seats 400 for dining.

The 2016 stadium upgrades are not the first time the scoreboards have been replaced since Rice-Eccles opened its gates. In 2003, the late Larry H. and Gail Miller donated $1.6 million for the venue’s first video scoreboard. In 2007, Utah Sports Properties financed an LED board stretching across the top of the north end zone stands, and two LED scoreboards were added to the north corners in 2014. In 2012, an LED board was placed at the bottom of the south end zone stands.

The stadium floor has also changed with the times. A FieldTurf surface with CoolPlay cork infill was installed in September 2015, marking the third version of FieldTurf laid down in Rice-Eccles since 2002. Previous surfaces (dating back to Ute Field) were natural grass from 1927-71 and again in 2000-01, AstroTurf from 1972-95 and SportGrass from 1995-99.

The south end zone bleachers, built in 1982, house the locker rooms, the Gary L. Crocker Stadium Club suite and a band room. The plaza behind the south end zone was dedicated on Aug. 21, 2003 as the 2002 Salt Lake Olympic Winter Games Cauldron Park.

The Utah Athletics main ticket office is located on the southwest corner of the plaza.

NEW VIDEO BOARD AND SOUND SYSTEM FOR 2016

Fans at Rice-Eccles Stadium will be treated to a new 7,800-square foot high definition video board and distributed sound system that were installed this summer. The $13.5 million project was funded by the U. Athletics Department and Auxiliary Services.

UTAH TRADITIONS / / / / / /

T

he University of Utah officially adopted the nickname “Utes” for its athletic teams in 1972.

The school uses the nickname with permission of the Ute Tribal Council.

“What is a Ute?” The Utes are an Indian tribe that originally settled Utah. Two of the more common definitions of Ute are “top of the mountains” and “people of the mountains.” Other references have Ute defined as “land of the sun.” The Utes refer to themselves as “Noochew,” meaning “the People.”

There are four Ute tribes: The Northern and White Mesa Tribes are based in Utah, while the Southern and Ute Mountain Tribes are in Colorado. The Northern Utes are most closely affiliated with the University of Utah and have a tribal membership of around 3,000. Many of them live on the Uintah and Ouray reservation. The Utes operate their own tribal government, oversee approximately 1.3 million acres of trust land and operate several businesses.

“The Pride of Utah” Marching Utes began in the 1940s as a military band. In the turbulent ’60s, support for the band dwindled, and in 1969, the Associated Students for the University of Utah (ASUU) discontinued its funding. The band was revived in 1976, and since then, the “Pride of Utah” Marching Utes have performed at all home football games, as well as numerous NFL and college bowl games.

To the victor goes the Beehive Boot. The authentic pioneer boot has been awarded annually since 1971 to the Utah school with the best record against instate foes.

The schools that compete for the boot are Utah, Brigham Young and Utah State. In its 45-year history, the Beehive Boot has been awarded to Utah 14 times (1978, ‘88, ‘93, ‘94, ’95, ’99, 2002, ’03, ’04, ’05, ‘08, ’11, ’13 and ‘15), BYU 10

2016 UTAH FOOTBALL

22 times and Utah State nine times.

The Block U (elevation 5,300 feet above sea level) was built on Mount Van Cott bordering the Utah campus in 1907. Lights on the 100-foot-tall landmark are illuminated primarily for athletic events and to notify people in the Salt Lake valley that the Utes are playing at home (the lights flash after a Utah victory).

Originally built with limestone, the Block U was later replaced by a cement version. In 1969, the design was modified and 124 lights were installed. A fundraising campaign in 2006 raised $400,000 to renovate the aging landmark. Slabs of concrete and steel rebar now reinforce the 5,000-square feet of surface area. Another major improvement was the installation of light emitting diode (LED) red and white lights, which are controlled through a wireless system.

The MUSS, one of the most avid and vocal student fan clubs in the nation, is nearly 6,000 strong at Ute home football games. The name MUSS was

originally derived from the school fight song lyrics (… No rival band of college fans dare meet us in the muss). Members now refer to MUSS as an acronym for “Mighty Utah Student Section.”

The MUSS turns 15 years old this season.

Originally known as the Student Fan Club and the Utah Fan Club, the group adopted the name MUSS for the 2002 football season.

MUSS members are easily identified by their customized tee-shirts and their policy of standing throughout the entire game. They have a number of other traditions during football games, including the Third Down Jump, in which members jump around and make noise every time the opposing team prepares for a third down play. Other rituals include the U of U Chop, which occurs every time the band plays a specific percussion song and involves MUSS members forming a U with their hands and “chopping” to the beat of the music, and the First Down Chant (members raise their hands in unison, yelling “first down,” and mimic the referees by pointing their arm in the direction of the first down).

The line of “fives” hanging in front of the MUSS section refers to the False Start Tally. Whenever the opposing team is charged with a false start, the MUSS hangs a numeral five in front of its section indicating a five-yard penalty.

Every time the Utes score, the band plays the school fight song, signaling the MUSS to sing along to the words of the Utah Fight Song. After every game, Ute team members congregate in front of the MUSS section and join in the singing of the Utah Fight Song.

Watch for the MUSS to regularly “Throw up a U,” a tradition that began at the Utah women’s gymnastics meets in 2004 and soon caught on with all the Ute teams and fans. It involves forming the U mentioned in the U of U Chop and raising it toward the sky.

The MUSS currently sponsors fan clubs for the Utah football, men’s basketball, volleyball and gymnastics teams. The football team began sporting a MUSS decal on the back of its helmets in 2004.

KYLE WHITTINGHAM / / / / / / HEAD COACH

Year at Utah: 12th Career Record: 95-46 Bowl Record: 9-1* (*2005 Fiesta Bowl Head Coach)

K

yle Whittingham, the 2008 National Coach of the Year, has participated in more Utah victories than any football coach in school history. As an assistant and head coach, Whittingham has played a role in 180 victories in 22 seasons at Utah. More than half of those have come in 11 years as the head coach, when he is 95-46.

Whittingham has been almost unbeatable in bowl games and his 90-percent bowl winning percentage is the best of any coach in NCAA history. His 9-1 bowl record exceeds the NCAA minimum of seven wins.

Whittingham was the only person involved in all of Utah’s nine consecutive bowl victories from 1999-2009—a bowl streak that is tied for the second-longest in NCAA history. He was the defensive coordinator for the first three games of the streak and the head coach for the last six. Utah is currently on a three-game bowl win streak.

He came to Utah in 1994 as the defensive line coach and was promoted to defensive coordinator the following year. On Dec. 8, 2004, Whittingham was named the school’s 20th head coach. His first victory came three weeks later when he co-coached (with Urban Meyer) the 2005 Fiesta Bowl win over Pittsburgh. His first regular-season victory was against Arizona in the 2005 season opener.

In 2008, Whittingham engineered the best season in Utah football history when the Utes finished 13-0 and routed Alabama—a team that spent five weeks at No. 1—in the Sugar Bowl. Utah finished the season with a No. 2 AP ranking and Whittingham was recognized as the National Coach of the Year by the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA) and the Paul “Bear” Bryant Awards committee.

Utah was the country’s only undefeated FBS team in 2008 and beat four top-25 teams—two that finished in the top 10. In addition to his national awards, Whittingham was named the Mountain West Conference Coach of the Year.

His success has carried over to the Pac-12 Conference where the 2015 Utes were co-champions of the Pac-12 South Division. Utah finished 10-3 overall, including a Las Vegas Bowl victory over BYU, and was 6-3 in conference games.

Utah’s No. 16 final AP ranking (No. 17 Coaches) in 2015 was the fourth AP top-25 finish under Whittingham. The Utes finished No. 2 in 2008, No. 18 in 2009 and No. 21 in 2014. In addition, the 2010 Utes

were ranked No. 23 in the final Coaches’ poll. Utah has appeared in every College Football Playoff (CFB) ranking in the first two years of the system, finishing No. 22 in both 2014 and 2015.

In addition to his national coaching accolades in 2008, Whittingham was a semifinalist for the Maxwell Football Club Collegiate Coach of the Year Award in 2014 and the George Munger Coach of the Year Award in 2015.

Under Whittingham, Utah has beaten every Pac12 team and also has an impressive non-conference resume, including a 3-0 mark against Michigan.

Whittingham has 13 wins over AP Top-25 teams as a head coach.

In their first season in the Pac-12 Conference in 2011, the Utes finished with an 8-5 record and a Sun Bowl victory over Georgia Tech. The 2012 Utes won three of their final five Pac-12 games and the 2013 season included an upset of No. 5 Stanford. The 2014 Utes boasted wins against historical football powers Michigan, UCLA, USC and Stanford—a feat considered unprecedented in school history. Utah finished the 2014 season with a 9-4 record and a Las Vegas Bowl win over Colorado State.

Whittingham’s players have earned numerous individual honors as well. Twelve of his players have

Senior kicker Andy Phillips has been a four-year starter and a two-time All-Pac-12 honoree for the Utes.

AUTOMATIC ANDY Senior kicker Andy Phillips came from a unique athletic background to become Utah’s career field goals leader.

By Riley Elliott Utah Athletics Communications

ith a schedule consumed by soccer and skiing during his grade school and teenage years, Andy Phillips never had the time to play football. However, after competing on the U.S. Ski Team as an alpine racer from 2007-11, Phillips decided to give kicking a shot.

“I thought of football as a sport I never got to play competitively, and I’ve always wanted an opportunity to try it out. Playing soccer my whole life, the closest thing to that was kicking,” Phillips pointed out. “So one day I 24

2016 UTAH FOOTBALL

went out with my family, kicked a couple field goals, and then I realized I was pretty decent at it.”

After Phillips got the feel for kicking, he decided to try walking on to a local football team, and soon after he was awarded a scholarship.

“There was such a great opportunity here at Utah,” Phillips said. “I put out some teaser film to other schools around the state, but Coach [Jay] Hill, who was at Utah at the time, was the one who asked for follow up film. He really believed in me from the get go, and

he was the one who gave me this opportunity.”

With no previous experience in football, the sports of soccer and skiing were the only ones that Phillips could relate to. Fortunately, with his many years of competing at a high level in skiing, Phillips was able to apply some of the things he learned to football.

“Both mentally and physically, there isn’t much of a difference between the two,” Phillips explained.

“That’s why I think I’ve been able to step in and have success with this sport because of the work ethic I established with skiing. The mentality I had developed with skiing also transferred over to football.”

As a college kicker, you can experience great highs, especially when you come through with a clutch kick. But there are also many situations where you need to keep your composure, put a bad experience behind you and bounce back quickly. Phillips has learned to have a mental toughness when it comes to kicking, and has perfected the process of focusing on what is ahead and not behind him.

“Being a kicker, you definitely have to be tough and have thick skin. When you miss a kick, you can easily go to the sideline, sulk about it, and let it get to your head. Instead, you just have to forget about it. You have to realize there are more opportunities ahead.

Mental toughness is key. Live in the moment and don’t let something that’s behind you become a distraction,” Phillips said.

That mentality has proven to work for Phillips, who holds almost every kicking record that the University of Utah has in the books. Phillips currently claims the Ute career records for field goals made (72), field goals attempted (86), points scored (374), PATs made (158), PATs attempted (159) and PAT percentage (99.4). He has also set the top two marks for field goals made in a season, getting 23 in 2014 and 22 in 2015.

Even with all of those accomplishments, Phillips continues to stay motivated and works hard to get better every day.

“I strive for perfection but I’m also realistic,” Phillips explained. “I just want to make sure to kick the ball as well and efficiently as I can. I’ve never been one to seek out fame, but obviously I’m very honored to hold these records. Ultimately, my motivation has been my family and my teammates. Just going out there, putting that jersey on and having my family’s name on the back of it, and going out there to represent them and make them proud is what it’s all about.”

In addition to playing football, Phillips has a lot of other things on his plate. He’s been working toward his degree with a double major in marketing and information systems. He earned his bachelor’s last spring and is currently pursuing a master’s. He is also married with two sons, with the second one being born this fall. (continued on page 45)

RESUMING THE CHASE OF A CHILDHOOD DREAM

Joe Williams knew he wanted to be a star running back at a young age and since coming back from retirement has worked to see his goal come to fruition.

By Mady White Utah Athletics Communications

W

atching NFL players like Barry Sanders and Eric Dickerson on TV while growing up, Ute senior running back Joe Williams knew he wanted to be like them.

Seeing some of the all-time greats gave Williams the inspiration to set a goal of becoming a star running back early on in his life. Realizing that goal appeared doubtful earlier this season when Williams was frustrated to the point that he elected to walk away from football. However, he chose to come back four weeks later to give himself one last chance to fulfill his dreams. Since his return, Williams has been one of the best running backs in the country.

Williams grew up in Allentown, Pa., where he began playing football in his backyard. Once he was old enough, his parents entered him into a youth league, which was only the beginning of his football career.

“Getting into high school, the coaches started telling me I had a chance to play Division I football if I could keep my grades together and just work as hard as I can. I realized then I could end up playing in college,” Williams said.

Williams graduated from Emmaus High School, where he rushed for 1,243 yards as a senior and earned second-team all-area and first-team All-Lehigh Valley Conference honors.

Williams then attended the University of Connecticut for his freshman year in 2012 before he eventually transferred to ASA College in Brooklyn, N.Y. During his sophomore campaign, Williams led the Northeast Football Conference and ranked fourth in the nation in rushing, averaging 156.1 yards per game.

Williams also led the conference in all-purpose yards at 199.0 yards a game.

Senior running back Joe Williams broke the school single-game rushing record with 332 yards and four touchdowns on Oct. 22 against UCLA.

The Utah coaches could see Williams’ potential and knew he would help strengthen the running back position. He joined the Utes for the 2015 season to provide depth behind two-time All-Pac-12 selection Devontae Booker and potentially take over as the featured back as a senior. Williams knew Utah offered the fresh start he had been looking for and was eager to come out west.

“The atmosphere here compared to the other schools I have been to is night and day,” Williams explained. “I love being around my teammates and getting serious when it is game time or practice. It is a family here. People say that for most schools but it is different here. That is the major factor why I chose the U.”

Last year, Williams played sparingly until Booker was injured against Arizona, leaving him to take over the running back position for the stretch run. Williams started the final three games of the season, including the Las Vegas Bowl. As the primary ball carrier, Williams totaled 399 yards on 85 rushes and had three touchdowns.

“I was a little nervous to step in but just the

practice mentality I had, being focused, and being the next man up to step in and take over the role, was what helped me be prepared last season. I just wanted to do whatever I could for the team,” Williams stated.

Williams feels he has been able to develop his game further in many different ways after getting that valuable experience at the end of last season. He also believes studying film has helped develop his game by allowing him to see what he can do better, differently, or even exactly the same way.

Williams opened his senior campaign as the starting running back, but gained just 75 yards on 22 carries in the first two games against Southern Utah and BYU. It was clear to Williams and everyone else that he was not the same running back he was a year earlier. On Sept. 13, Williams announced that he was hanging up his cleats and walking away.

“I stepped away basically because of where I was mentally and physically. I had dwelled on the decision probably back in February or March, and months going into the summertime. I was seeing where my (continued on page 45) 2016 UTAH FOOTBALL

Senior defensive end Pita Taumoepenu has amassed 31 tackles this season and ranks in the top 15 in the Pac-12 with seven sacks.

FAST TRACK Despite not taking up football until his senior year in high school, Pita Taumoepenu’s natural talents helped him catch up and become a force for the Utes.

By Rachel Nelson Utah Athletics Communications

P

ita Taumoepenu’s journey to the University of Utah is not your typical story of a college football player.

In an age where kids gravitate toward a particular sport sooner than ever and spend countless hours developing their skills, Taumoepenu was an anomaly. He didn’t start playing football until his senior year at Timpview High School. But his positive attitude and work ethic landed him with the Utes, and he has been a force to be reckoned with ever since.

26

2016 UTAH FOOTBALL

Born in Texas, Taumoepenu moved to Tonga when he was three months old and grew up playing rugby. At age 16, he had the opportunity to join his country’s under-20 national team, but instead chose to set a course to attending college.

“I grew up in Tonga pretty much my whole life [and] moved back to the United States my senior year in high school,” Taumoepenu explained.

Once he did, he went out for football. When he learned he was good enough to earn a college

scholarship for playing football, Taumoepenu worked to adapt his rugby background and quickly picked up on the sport.

Before success came, however, Taumoepenu had to ride a steep learning curve. The equipment was less than appealing compared to a rugby uniform. There was also the matter of learning the rules. But from the beginning, he had a knack for chasing down the quarterback, which landed him at defensive end for the Timpview Thunderbirds.

“My first year was pretty hard,” Taumoepenu recalled, “I didn’t have any experience. I came here and had to learn everything from the basics. It was pretty hard, but I learned a lot from the coaches and the people with more experience than me.”

By the end of his senior season, he had accumulated 68 tackles and 25 sacks, including one crucial sack that helped Timpview win the 2012 4A championship in overtime.

Upon graduating from high school, Taumoepenu recorded a 40-yard dash time of 4.41 seconds. Despite a lack of football experience, his raw talent, speed and toughness made him appealing to multiple Division I schools. He originally committed to BYU but switched to Utah, where he played as a true freshman in 2013.

“Everything about Utah is awesome, I love Utah.

I met a lot of good people out here, teammates [who] were nice to me and made me feel welcome. And the coaches, you know, they showed me a good time,” he said chuckling. “I just feel like it’s a great place.”

Upon arriving at Utah, Taumoepenu continued to learn quickly.

“The things that I learned were the basics,” he said. “You have to learn how to step shuffle.

Sometimes, I forgot to step shuffle. I always pass rushed [in high school], but that’s not how it works.

That’s the best thing I learned my freshman year. I had to read the plays before I reacted.”

Since his first season at Utah, Taumoepenu has focused on improvement and becoming a wellrounded player. “I was excited,” he said of the things he’s learned at Utah. “It’s helped me come a long way.”

Taumoepenu played in seven games and recorded six total tackles as a freshman, including two tackles for loss and a sack in Utah’s 70-7 victory against Weber State. But his favorite game that season was a 27-21 home victory over Stanford, which was ranked No. 5 at the time.

His forte always has been getting quarterback sacks.

In 2015, six of his nine tackles were sacks, including a pair in Utah’s 62-20 road win over Oregon and two more in a 34-18 home victory against Arizona State.

As Taumoepenu has improved and gained valuable experience, he has also received more playing (continued on page 45)

UTE SENIOR PROFILE / / / / / / Andy Phillips (continued from page 24)

Phillips has learned to balance everything at the same time, and the experience has helped him further develop his work ethic.

“It has been tough. I’ve been running on four to five hours of sleep every day,” Phillips confided.

“My wife has understood the opportunities that come with this sport, so she has been my support and my rock. She helps take care of everything at home so that I can come up here and get a couple hours of film or kicking in. She’s great.”

After finishing up his career with the Utes later this year, Phillips would like to take a shot at the NFL or pursue a career in information systems.

“I want to try and play at the next level. I would love the opportunity to play professional football,” Phillips said. “I’ve finished up my master’s degree this year as well, and I have a couple great opportunities in information systems I could go into. I have a lot of plans, and I guess whichever one fits my life at that time, that’s what I’ll do.”

Pita Taumoepenu (continued from page 26)

Pita Taumoepenu had a season-high of six stops, one sack and a forced fumble in the Utes win over BYU this seasonl

Andy Phillips is Utah’s career leader in field goals made (72), PATs made (158) and points scored (374).

Joe Williams (continued from page 25)

In the four games since returning from his retirement, Joe Williams has averaged 216.0 yards per game and scored eight touchdowns. body was, and thinking back to if I would be able to sustain the whole 12- or 13-game season,” Williams explained.

Williams continued to support the team by watching every game and rooting for them to be successful. While attending the game against Arizona, Williams witnessed the injuries to Utah’s top three rushers and started thinking about where the team would go from there. The Utah coaching staff did the same in the coming days, and wondered if Williams could be a solution to their predicament.

“The coaches reached out and told me their interest for me as far as coming back,” Williams said. “Just based off how I left the team—not that

I left on any bad terms at all—I felt that I owed it to them to come back and just put forth that effort, to help them win games and reach the bowl game or the Pac-12 Championship.”

And what a comeback it has been. In the four games since returning from his retirement on Oct. 11, Williams has racked up 864 yards (216.0 avg.) and eight touchdowns to take over as the team’s leading rusher. If he had played in enough games to qualify for the statistical rankings, Williams would be third in the nation and first in the Pac-12 in rushing yards per game (156.5).

He earned Walter Camp National Offensive Player of the Week and Pac-12 Offensive Player of the Week honors for his effort against UCLA on Oct. 22, when he broke the school singlegame rushing record with 332 yards and four touchdowns on 29 carries. It stands as the first 300-yard rushing game in school history and the second-best mark in the NCAA FBS this season.

“At first it was hard returning. I was just watching Netflix and wandering around the city with my fiancé, just looking at all the sights Utah had to offer. Conditioning was a big part and just getting back into shape,” Williams explained.

“It feels great to be back because I’ve always played football. I always have that love for the game. I am just happy to be back,” Williams said with a smile.

time. Taumoepenu played in all 26 games between the 2014 and 2015 seasons, and has appeared in all nine games this year.

It’s clear he has enjoyed his time as a Ute. “I cannot just pick one [favorite] game,” Taumoepenu said with a laugh.

Besides the 2013 victory over Stanford, Taumoepenu cites several 2014 games “when we beat Michigan at Michigan ... and also [when] we beat USC, UCLA and Stanford. All of those games were fun. Last year, my favorite games were against Cal and Arizona State. Man, there are a lot of good games,” he recalled.

During his senior season, Taumoepenu has been an integral part of Utah’s success. So far, he has amassed 25 tackles. That includes a season high of six stops, one sack and a forced fumble in Utah’s 20-19 win over BYU. He has contributed four sacks this season, including one in a tight loss to No. 4 Washington, placing him 11th in the Pac-12.

Taumoepenu has always tried to contribute to his team in a variety of ways. Among them are “being a good example to the younger kids, the freshmen and sophomores. If I’m on the field, I will give everything I’ve got just to help my team.”

Besides his positive attitude and hard work, he attributes much of his success to his family. According to Taumoepenu, his greatest influences have been “my whole family and definitely my mom. My mom, she’s a hard worker. She’s worked multiple jobs just to keep me comfortable, and she helped me understand what life’s about. She helped me work hard. Also, my friends have always been a good influence on me. My [Utah] coaches and teammates have helped me become better every day.”

While Taumoepenu has certainly put together some impressive stats in a short time, he’s most proud of simply “getting the opportunity to play Division I football and being the first person in my family from Tonga to be able to go to college. Those are the things that make me feel proud. But it’s not just me that feels proud. It’s my mom, my family, my friends.”

2016- 17 MEN’S BASKETBALL PREVIEW / / / / / /

Veterans Lorenzo Bonam and Kyle Kuzma will lead roster filled with newcomers.

Kyle Kuzma is Utah’s top returning scorer (10.2 ppg) and rebounder (5.7 rpg).

By Dameon Myres Utah Athletics Communications – Associate Director

T

he Runnin’ Utes will have a new look in 201617, returning just two starters and a total of four letterwinners from last season’s squad that took second place in the Pac-12 Conference and earned its second straight trip to the NCAA Tournament.

Despite all the new faces and youth this team has, Utah head coach Larry Krystkowiak still feels that

his squad will bring a great energy to the court.

Utah is coming off a 2015-16 campaign that saw the team record its most victories under Krystkowiak, along with making the program’s first-ever appearance in the Pac-12 Tournament championship game. The Utes went 27-9 overall – recording the most victories in a single season since posting a 29-6 record back in 2004-05. Utah went 13-5 in the Pac-12 Conference and finished the regular season ranked No. 13 in the Associated Press poll.

Senior guard, Lorenzo Bonam, and junior forward, Kyle Kuzma, return as Utah’s lone starters from last season’s squad. Kuzma returns as both Utah’s leading scorer (10.8 points per game) and top rebounder (5.7 rebounds per game), while Bonam, who averaged 10.2 points per game last season, returns as one of the best guards in the Pac-12 after posting 107 assists (2.9 per game) a year ago.

Kuzma, who enters his third season with the Utes, shot .522 (154-of-295) from the field, finishing 15th in the category among players from the Pac-12.

He made 66 three-pointers on the season and was tied for third most on the team. His 5.7 rebounds per game average ranked 19th in the Pac-12 last season, which ranks eighth overall among Pac-12 players returning this season.

Bonam will be in his second season with the Utes after transferring from Gillette College prior to last season. In his first season with the Utes a year ago, Bonam shot .513 (139-of-271) from the field and tallied a .400 (22-of-55) shooting effort from beyond the three-point arc. He also managed to shoot .815 (55-of-91) from the free throw line, which ranked second on the team.

Senior guard/forward Gabe Bealer and sophomore guard Jake Connor return as Utah’s only other letterwinners from last season, while sophomore guard Parker Van Dyke returns to the team following a two-year LDS Church Mission, which he served following his freshman campaign in 2013-14.

Bealer averaged 4.0 points in the 16 games he appeared in last season. He shot .512 (22-of-43) from the field and .368 (7-of-19) from downtown, while averaging 6.6 minutes a game. Connor saw action in six games last season, where he averaged 2.8 points in 4.7 minutes per game of playing time. Connor went 7-for-9 (.778) from the field and 3-for-5 (.600) from the three-point line.

Van Dyke played in 23 of Utah’s 33 games his freshman season in 2013-14. The Salt Lake City native averaged 2.5 points per game with a .447 (21-of-47) shooting effort from the field. He heads into the 201617 season with a perfect 1.000 shooting percentage after going 9-for-9 from the charity stripe that season.

Utah will have the luxury of returning three players to the team that got a feel for Krystkowiak’s system last year. Freshman Jayce Johnson redshirted last season after enrolling into school early, while a pair of transfers in junior forward David Collette and sophomore guard Sedrick Barefield got to learn the offense and defense while sitting out the spring semester.

Johnson, who signed to play with the Utes last fall, was tabbed a Top-100 Under Armour AllAmerican while playing as a prep at Santa Monica High 2016 UTAH FOOTBALL

2016- 17 MEN’S BASKETBALL PREVIEW / / / / / / School. He was ranked as the No. 47 overall recruit at 247sports.com and was tabbed the No. 11-ranked center overall in last season’s recruiting class, according to ESPN.

Collette transfers to Utah after spending his first two collegiate seasons at Utah State. While with the Aggies, Collette started in all 31 games during the 2014-15 season, averaging 12.8 points and 5.0 rebounds per game. He led both his team and the Mountain West Conference, and ranked No. 14 in the nation, with a .591 shooting percentage after hitting 163-of-276 of his shots from the field. He also managed to record 56 blocked shots, which ranks fourth most in USU single-season history.

Barefield transfers in from SMU, where he played in six games with the Mustangs. As a prep, Barefield averaged 20.6 points, 4.2 assists and 1.2 steals per game while leading Centennial High School to a 25-6 record his senior season. He earned multiple all-area honors, including being named Southern Section All-Open Division, Riverside PressEnterprise All-Area Player of the Year, Los Angeles Times All-Area, High School Game-Time Boys Basketball Player of the Year, Big VIII League MVP

and All-CIF third team after the 2015 season.

Coach Krystkowiak welcomes eight new players to this year’s squad, including three junior college transfers and five incoming freshmen. New to the team are junior transfers Tim Coleman (Lee College), JoJo Zamora (Yuba College) and Tyler Rawson (Salt Lake Community College), along with freshmen Devon Daniels (Justin-Siena High School), Chris Seeley (Fresno Central High School), Beau Rydalch (South Summit High School), Marc Reininger (Regis Jesuit High School) and Jakub Jokl (Canarias Basketball Academy).

Coleman joins the squad after averaging 14.5 points with the Lee College Rebels last season.

Coleman added 3.8 assists and 3.9 rebounds to go along with a .307 shooting percentage from beyond the three-point line.

Zamora spent the last two seasons at Yuba College where he averaged 18.5 points, 4.0 assists and 1.9 steals per game last season. He shot 51 percent from the field, 43 percent from the three-point arc and 83 percent from the free throw line.

Rawson brings in a championship pedigree to the team after helping lead SLCC to the NJCAA National

Lorenzo Bonam is one of the best returning guards in the Pac-12 after posting 2.9 assists per game a year ago.

Larry Krystkowiak has led the Runnin’ Utes to back-toback NCAA Tournament appearances.

Championship in 2015-16. Rawson averaged 15.9 points and 8.3 rebounds per game last year, while also collecting a team-best 62 blocked shots. A graduate of American Fork High School in 2014, Rawson was a two-time all-state selection.

Daniels is originally from Battle Creek, Mich., where he helped guide Kalamazoo Central High School to a SMAC East title while averaging 16 points, six rebounds and four assists per game. He transferred to Justin-Siena High School and California, where he was a four-star recruit and the second best shooting guard in the west according to Scout.com.

Seeley was a late addition to the roster, signing to play with the Utes this past summer. Seeley graduated from Central High School out of Fresno, Calif., where he averaged 16.1 points and 2.1 rebounds per game as a senior. He tallied over 450 points on the season and helped lead his team to a 22-7 record.

Rydalch comes to Utah after serving a two-year LDS Church Mission the past two years. He graduated from South Summit High School in 2014 and was a three-time all-state selection. He shot 56 percent from the field and 42 percent from the three-point arc. Rydalch’s father, Craig, and his uncle, Mark, both played for the Runnin’ Utes.

Reininger hails from Monument, Colo., where he played his prep career at Regis Jesuit High School.

Reininger averaged 7.7 points per game his senior season at RJHS, while posting shooting efforts of 56 percent from the field and 67 percent from the charity stripe. He led his team with 126 total rebounds and a 5.5 boards per game average.

Jokl, who hails from Havlickuv Brod, Czech Republic, played for Canarias Basketball Academy in Spain, where he averaged 15.8 points and 10.7 rebounds per game. He went on to being named MVP of his school championships.

THE UTAH FIGHT SONG / / / / / / VERSE

We’re up to snuff, we never bluff, we’re game for any fuss.

No rival band of college fans dare meet us in The MUSS. So fill your lungs and sing it out and shout it to the sky, We’ll fight for dear old crimson for a Utah Man/Fan am I! CHORUS (same) VERSE

And when we prom the avenue, all lined up in a row, And arm in arm and step in time as down the street we go.

No matter if a freshman green or in a senior’s gown, The people all admit we are the warmest gang in town.

VERSE

I am a Utah Man/Fan, sir, and I live across the green, Our gang it is the jolliest that you have ever seen.

Our students are the finest and each one’s a shining star, Our yell, you’ll hear it ringing through the mountains near and far!

CHORUS (same) VERSE

We may not live forever on this jolly good sphere, But while we do we’ll live a life of merriment and cheer, And when our college days are o’er and night is drawing nigh, With parting breath we’ll sing that song: “A Utah Man/Fan Am I.” Go Utes!

CHORUS

Who am I, sir, A Utah Man/Fan am I! A Utah Man/Fan, sir, Will be ‘til I die.

Ki-yi!

ust 37 years old when he was appointed as Utah’s director of athletics, Chris Hill, Ph.D., has led the school’s athletics programs to unprecedented success since his hiring in October of 1987. Now in his 30th year at Utah, he is the nation’s longest actively tenured athletics director at the same school in the NCAA FBS. 58

2016 UTAH FOOTBALL

Hill’s most monumental accomplishment was spearheading Utah’s invitation to join the Pac-12 Conference in the summer of 2010, a move preceded by the football team’s historic BCS appearances in the 2004 and 2008 seasons. In its first five seasons in the “Conference of Champions,” Utah has won two titles in gymnastics, captured the 2016 baseball crown, and was the Pac-12 South Division co-champion in football in 2015.

Utah has won nine NCAA team championships during Hill’s tenure—five by the ski team and four by the gymnastics team—and has finished as the national runner-up 16 times. Those runner-up finishes include a No. 2 national ranking by the football team after its victory over Alabama in the 2009 Sugar Bowl, and by the 1998 men’s basketball team.

He has hired three coaches who won National Coach of the Year honors at Utah: football coaches Urban Meyer (2004) and Kyle Whittingham (2008), and men’s basketball coach Rick Majerus (1998).

Hill has served on several national boards, including the NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Committee (2004-09), chair of the NCAA Championships/Competition Cabinet (1997-98) and the NCAA Management Council Administrative Committee. He was on NACDA’s executive committee from 2002-06.

The football program, which had not played in a bowl in the 22 years immediately preceding Hill’s appointment as athletics director, is 13-4 in bowl games during his term. Utah’s other athletic programs have also thrived under his leadership.

The men’s basketball team has played in 15 NCAA Tournaments—advancing to the Sweet 16 six times and the Elite Eight twice. In 1998, the Runnin’ Utes played Kentucky for the NCAA Championship. The women’s basketball team has 15 NCAA appearances, playing in the Sweet 16 twice and the Elite Eight in 2006, and was the 2013 WNIT runner-up.

The gymnastics team has made 19 NCAA Super Six appearances while qualifying for the NCAA Championships all 29 years with Hill as AD—and the ski team has finished first or second in the nation 14 times under his watch.

He has received a number of awards, including: 2011 National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA) Under Armour West Region Athletic Director of the Year, finalist for the 2011 Athletic Director of the Year by SportsBusiness Journal and SportsBusiness Daily, 2011 Utah YMCA Man of the Year, 2004 Mountain West Conference’s Commissioner’s Award, 1981 Milton Bennion Fellowship, 1984 Utah Recreation Therapy Association Outstanding Service award and 1996 Utah MS Sportsperson of the Year.

The former Rutgers’ basketball captain was

inducted into the Jersey Shore Hall of Fame in 1998.

In 2001, the National Consortium for Academics and Sports awarded him its Degree Completion and Outreach and Community Service Honor Award.

The New Jersey native has served in five capacities at the U., starting in 1973-74 as a graduate assistant basketball coach on Bill Foster’s staff. After coaching boys’ basketball at Salt Lake’s Granger High from 197579 (he was the 1975 4A Coach of the Year), Hill returned to the U. as an assistant coach to Jerry Pimm (1979-81).

From 1983-85, he taught in the University’s special education department before coming back to athletics as the Crimson Club director (1985-86). In 1987, he became the director of athletics.

Hill was the executive director of United Cerebral Palsy of Utah from 1981-85, during which time he developed a housing project for people with severe physical disabilities.

As an undergraduate, Hill won three letters in basketball at Rutgers and co-captained the 1971-72 team. His bachelor’s degree from Rutgers is in math education (1972). He holds a master’s in education (Utah, 1974), and a Ph.D. in educational administration (Utah, 1982).

His wife Kathy, a faculty member in the U.’s Department of Special Education in severe disabilities, received the 2010 College of Education Service Award and the 2012 ASUU Student Choice Award for Excellence in Teaching. They have two children, Aly and Christopher; three granddaughters, Addie, Lily and Ayumi, and a grandson, Jack.

Aly played soccer for the University of Oregon and has a master’s degree in social work from Utah.

She teaches students with severe disabilities in the Salt Lake City School District. Christopher holds a bachelor’s and law degree from the U. He works in business strategy for ESPN and is married to Darci Motoki, who received her bachelor’s degree from Boston College and her master’s degree from Claremont Graduate University. She is a consultant for Accenture.
