THE UNIVERSITY OF UTAH

F

ounded in 1850 and encompassing 1,500 acres in the foothills of the Wasatch Mountain range, the University of Utah prepares students to live and compete in the global workplace. Utah became a member of the Pac-12 Conference on July 1, 2011.

With an enrollment of over 31,000, the U. offers 100 undergraduate and more than 90 graduate level fields of study. It has earned a top-tier grading from the Academic Ranking of World Universities for 11 consecutive years, and offers nationally-ranked programs in law, pharmacy, mathematics, business, biomedical engineering, family medicine, life sciences, entertainment arts and engineering. The U. made CollegeAtlas.org’s 2014 A-List— which grades schools on academic quality, accessibility and affordability—ranking in the top 12 for both in-state and out-of-state tuition.

RESEARCH

The University of Utah ranks among the top public research universities in the nation. From university-developed technology, the U. has launched nearly 127 new startups over the last seven years, consistently placing it in the top 10 in the nation for university startup creation.

Geneticist Mario R. Capecchi received the 2007 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for his work on gene targeting. Çağan Şekercioğlu, assistant professor of biology, won the Scientific and Technical Research Council of Turkey’s highest prize for 2014. Peter J. 6 2015 UTAH FOOTBALL

Stang, distinguished professor of chemistry, received the 2013 Priestley Medal and 2011 National Medal of Science for his pioneering work in supramolecular chemistry.

TECHNOLOGY AND COMPUTER SCIENCES

In 2015, the U.’s entertainment arts and engineering program was ranked first in the country for the second time in three years. The University’s School of Computing was founded in 1965, and began a pioneering legacy in computer graphics and visualization that continues today. The internationallyrecognized Scientific Computing & Imaging Institute is a leader in creating new scientific computing techniques, tools and systems to help solve wide-ranging challenges of human life. The College of Engineering was ranked 57th by U.S. News & World Report in 2014.

MEDICINE

University of Utah Health Care was named one of the “100 Great Hospitals in America” in 2014, and in 2012 ranked among the top 10 academic medical centers in the nation for the third year running.

The Utah Genome Project is one of several innovative medical research programs at the U. Other notable programs include the Huntsman Cancer Institute, the Clinical Neurosciences Center and the Moran Eye Center.

BUSINESS SCHOOL

The David Eccles School of Business’ undergraduate program was ranked No. 47 by U.S. News & World Report in 2014. It also placed in the top 25 for entrepreneurship for the fourth straight year by the Princeton Review. The Executive MBA program was ranked 30th in the nation

by Financial Times.

LAW SCHOOL

The S.J. Quinney College of Law was ranked second in the nation, just behind Yale Law School, for student clinical opportunities according to data compiled by National Jurist magazine in 2014.

CAMPUS LIFE

A lively residential living experience is provided in the beautiful Heritage Commons, which served as the Athletes Village for the 2002 Olympic Winter Games. The Donna Garff Marriott Honors Residential Scholars Community opened in September 2012, while the George S. Eccles Student Life Center had its grand opening in January 2015.

RICE- ECCLES STADIUM

RICE- ECCLES FACTS First Game: Sept. 12, 1998 Seating Capacity: 45,807 Largest Crowd: 47,619 Chair Seats: 15,015 Suites: 25 Surface: FieldTurf

S

ince the gates to Rice-Eccles Stadium opened 17 years ago on September 12, 1998, fans have poured through them in record numbers. In fact, for the past seven seasons, attendance at Utah home football games has exceeded the venue’s seating capacity.

Rice-Eccles Stadium’s seating capacity was increased to 45,807 prior to the start of the 2014 season, when the Utes averaged over-capacity crowds of 46,436 to set the school single-season attendance record.

Entering the 2015 season, Utah has played to 31-straight sellouts in Rice-Eccles Stadium extending back to the 2010 opener against Pittsburgh. Of the sellouts, 28 were played before crowds that exceeded the stadium’s capacity (which was 45,017 from 19982013). There have been 49 standing-room-only crowds over the past 16 years.

With the venue’s enlarged seating capacity in 2014, six of the top 10 crowds in Rice-Eccles Stadium history were recorded last year. A record crowd of 47,619 watched the Utes defeat No. 20 USC while 47,528 were on hand for Oregon’s visit last November.

Four other games have gone over the 46,000 mark, including California (46,768) in 2003, TCU (46,522) in 2010, BYU (46,488) in 2008 and USC (46,037) in 2012.

With its striking design, stunning mountain backdrop and panoramic views of the Salt Lake Valley, Rice-Eccles Stadium is perhaps the most beautiful stadium in the country. The eyes of the world were on the venue in 2002 as it hosted the Opening and Closing Ceremonies of the Salt Lake Olympic Winter Games. It is the third stadium located on the site, predated by Ute Stadium (1927) and Rice Stadium (1972).

In 1996, Utah Director of Athletics Chris Hill initiated a fund-raising 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 8 2015 UTAH FOOTBALL

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 June 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 Rice-Eccles 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.

Suites are located on the first two levels of the stadium box, while the top level is reserved for the media.

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 features the Varsity Reception Room, which seats 400, as well as the John Mooney Working Press Area, named in honor of the late Ute football writer and Salt Lake Tribune sports editor. Three tiers of press seating can accommodate more than 100 media representatives, and there are also booths for television and radio (among them the Bill Marcroft Radio Booth, named for the former “Voice of the Utes”).

Upgrades have continued in recent years. In June 2003, Larry H. and Gail Miller donated $1.6 million for a video display system and new scoreboards. In 2007, an LED board stretching 200 x 4 feet across the north end zone was made possible by Utah Sports Properties at a

cost of $500,000. A second LED board was placed at the bottom of the south end zone stands in 2012. The north endzone scoreboards were replaced in 2014.

Plans call for a new and enlarged state-ofthe-art videoboard and sound system to be installed behind the south end zone stands prior to the start of the 2016 season.

The stadium floor has also changed with the times and new FieldTurf was installed in June 2009, replacing the initial FieldTurf version from 2002.

Previous surfaces (dating back to old Ute Field) included 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 plaza also includes the Utah Athletics main ticket office.

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 a great basin Indian tribe. The Utes were one of the first tribes to acquire the horse from the Spanish, which transformed their culture and enabled them to become resourceful and valiant. The Utes speak their own language that is derived from the Uto-Aztecan language family.

Currently, there are more than 3,000 Ute tribal members and half of them live on the Uintah and Ouray Reservation in northeastern Utah. The Utes are important contributors to Utah’s economy through distribution of their energy resources and raising stock.

“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 in-state foes. The schools that compete for the boot are Utah, Brigham Young and Utah State. In its 44-year history, the Beehive Boot has been awarded to Utah 13 times (1978, ‘88, ‘93, ‘94, ’95, ’99, 2002, ’03, ’04, ’05, ‘08, ‘11 and ‘13), BYU 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 10 2015 UTAH FOOTBALL

are illuminated primarily for athletic events and 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 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 14 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 Utah Man/Fan. After every game, the Ute team members congregate in front of the MUSS section and join in the singing of Utah Man.

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

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 participated in 170 victories in his 20 years at Utah.

Eighty-five of those (85-43) have come in 10 years as the head coach.

Whittingham has been almost unbeatable in bowl games and is tied with John Robinson (USC/ UNLV) for the best bowl winning percentage of any coach in NCAA history with an .889 mark. The two have identical 8-1 bowl records and the NCAA minimum is seven wins.

Whittingham is the only person who was involved in all of Utah’s nine-consecutive bowl wins from 1999-2009, which tied the second-longest bowl win streak in NCAA history. He was the head coach for six of those wins and the defensive coordinator for the first three.

He came to Utah in 1994 as the defensive line coach and was promoted to defensive coordinator the next year. On December 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

Year at Utah: 11th Career Record: 85-43 Bowl Record: 8-1* (*2005 Fiesta Bowl co-coach)

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 had 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.

The country’s only undefeated FBS team in 2008, Utah 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.

He has had four teams finish in the top 25 in his head coaching tenure: No. 2 in 2008 (AP), No. 18 in 2009 (AP), No. 23 in 2010 (Coaches) and No. 21 in 2014 (AP). Utah appeared in every College Football Playoff ranking in the CFP’s inaugural season in 2014 with a final rank of No. 22.

Last season, while leading Utah to its best overall (9-4) and conference (5-4) record since joining the Pac-12 in 2011, Whittingham was named to the watch list for the 2014 Dodd Trophy and was a semifinalist for the Maxwell Football Club Collegiate Coach of the Year Award.

The 2012 Utes won three of their final five Pac-12 games and the 2013 season included an upset of No. 5 Stanford.

Whittingham’s players have earned numerous individual honors as well. He has coached 12 players to major All-America team honors—among them 10 first-team and two second-team honorees. First-team All-Americans were Luther Elliss (1994, consensus defensive lineman), Eric Weddle (2006, consensus defensive back), Louie Sakoda (2007, punter; 2008, unanimous consensus place kicker), Zane Beadles (2009, offensive line), Shaky Smithson (2010, punt returner), Star Lotulelei (2012, defensive tackle), Reggie Dunn (2012, kick returner), Tom Hackett (2014, punter), Nate Orchard (2014, defensive end) and Kaelin Clay (2014, returner). His second-team AllAmericans were Morgan Scalley (2004, defensive back) and Caleb Schlauderaff (2010, offensive line).

Hackett became the first Ray Guy Award winner in school history in 2014 and Orchard received the Ted Hendricks Award as the nation’s top defensive end.

Whittingham’s players have won 63 first-team all-conference awards, including 11 in Utah’s first four seasons of Pac-12 play. Among them were two-time first-team honorees Hackett and Lotulelei (2011-12).

UTE SENIOR PROFILE

Tom Hackett became the first player in Pac-12 history to win the Ray Guy Award as the nation’s top punter last season.

SIMPLY THE BEST Reigning Ray Guy Award winner Tom Hackett has already been labeled the best punter in the nation, so what does he do next?

hen reviewing a roster as talented as Utah’s, one would not expect to find one of its most impactful players on special teams.

However, it is hard to look past the positive effect senior punter Tom Hackett has had during his four-year career with the Utes.

For most teams, bringing the punt team onto the field isn’t a favorable situation. It means your team has been forced to give up the football, and you’re just hoping to avoid putting your defense in bad field position with a poor punt or a great return.

However, with Hackett lined up deep to receive the snap, the Utes feel they always have a chance to make something positive—perhaps even special— 24 2015 UTAH FOOTBALL

happen. For one, Hackett has developed a penchant for pinning teams inside their own 10-yard line. Secondly, with the Australian’s athleticism and a rugby-style punt in his arsenal, he has never had one blocked. Plus, there’s always a chance for a successful fake that will result in a first down.

After earning first-team All-Pac-12 honors in 2013, Hackett has a breakout season a year ago. He managed to pin opposing teams inside their own 10-yard line more than anyone else in the country, accomplishing that feat 19 times. He also led the nation with 3,736 punting yards and ranked first in the Pac-12 by dropping 45 percent of his punts inside the 20-yard line. As result, he was voted the first Ray

Guy Award winner, honoring the nation’s top punter, in Utah and Pac-12 history. He also became the school’s fifth consensus All-American.

Hackett credits much of his success to Nathan Chapman of Prokick Australia, who has helped tutor him in the art of punting.

“If you are talking technique, Prokick basically taught me everything I know now,” Hackett explained.

“The rugby-style punt, Nathan doesn’t teach. That is something I just grew up doing. But when it comes to the spiral punt, that is basically all Nathan. I can thank Nathan for the majority of my success.”

Although he has improved his spiral punt, perfecting the rugby-style kick is what Hackett has become known for. Rugby punts are becoming a special teams trend in college football and nobody does it better than Hackett.

“In college, it is effective,” Hackett said. “It opens up a variety of options. Now that I am finding myself facing teams with two returners because of my success with the rugby punt, I have one less player on the line of scrimmage. This opens up more space for a fake, so I get that opportunity. Last year, they only really had two returners back the last half of the season, so it was kind of easy to put the ball where I wanted to because one guy couldn’t get there.

“Most teams have two returners against me now,” Hackett continued. “I can still use that rugby style of punt, but is not as effective as when there is just one guy back there. When I am kicking directionally, they are always going to get to the ball with two guys. So, the spiral punt has become more effective for me because it gives more hang time and allows coverage more time to get down field and make a play on the ball.”

The road to playing football at Utah was not one Hackett expected to travel. After all, he only considered playing football in the states after seeing a fellow Aussie player on the news, and he wondered if he could do the same to improve his educational options.

“I didn’t get good grades in high school, so to get a scholarship or a walk-on position over here was my way out of going to a bad university in back home,” Hackett explained. “When I joined Prokick Australia, I wasn’t really getting that many schools looking at me.

Utah was one of the few that came up. That really only happened because the punter who is now at LSU was originally going to come here as a walk-on, then he got an offer to LSU. He took that offer and that opened up the Utah position, and I was the next one to fill.”

Hard to argue with how well that scenario worked out for both Utah and Hackett. The Melbourne native already has 8,928 career punting yards to rank second in school history, trailing only Louie Sakoda (continued on page 26)

UTE SENIOR PROFILE

Viliseni Fauonuku played in all 13 games with two starts at defensive tackle in 2014, registering 24 stops, 5.5 tackles for loss and two sacks.

OVERCOMING LIFE’S PITFALLS Rebounding from past mistakes, senior defensive tackle Viliseni Fauonuku appreciates everything football has given him.

iliseni Fauonuku initially had some doubts about going to college. Apathetic towards school and experiencing some troubled times as a teenager, Fauonuku wasn’t exactly on a clear path to a college campus; but football helped changed all of that.

When the University of Utah offered him a football scholarship, Fauonuku found the motivation he needed to pursue an opportunity to better his life, and he is a changed person because of it.

“I started playing football when I was in seventh grade. That was the only sport I played at the time,” Fauonuku said. “I stuck with it when I figured out I was pretty good at it, and I loved it right away. It was my first time doing anything athletic. I thought it was the coolest thing in the world when I put those pads on.”

After getting into some minor trouble while in middle school, Fauonuku and his mother decided it was best for him to live with his father in Texas.

He played football for Euless Trinity High School and

was named the freshman MVP in 2007 as the team won the national championship. However, Fauonuku struggled with the move overall, and after two years his parents agreed it was time for him to come back to Utah and be reunited with the rest of his family.

Fauonuku joined the football team at Bingham High School, where head coach Dave Peck provided a positive environment.

“Coach Peck had open arms for me. Everyone had open arms, and football was pretty much everything to me. It was the first time I thought about going to college.”

During his junior year, the Miners won the Class 5A state title, and several schools began showing interest in Fauonuku. However, the U. was the only place he really wanted to go, and Fauonuku wasted no time in making a verbal commitment to the Utes.

“I love home, I love Utah, and I love the environment. I felt a lot more love from Utah. The coaches here are amazing and all of the players feel like family,” Fauonuku explained.

Unfortunately, Fauonuku’s past demons surfaced again when his nephew passed away at a young age.

On the day of his funeral, Fauonuku skipped school.

His life spiraled downward from there as ditching class became the norm rather than the exception and he developed a “who cares?” mindset.

Before long, Fauonuku was failing all of his classes, and he was done with football. He even participated in robbery with his older cousin at a party. Three months later, the repercussions from that incident came to light as Fauonuku faced a first-degree felony charge.

His coaches, particularly assistant Karl Cloward, made an effort to step in and save him. Cloward took Fauonuku to his house, sat him down, and gave him a list of requirements he had to meet. Peck decided to suspend Fauonuku for two games until the outcome of the case was resolved.

“I knew if I took football from him, we’d lose him,” Peck said. “I believed in him as a person. It felt like an isolated thing at the lowest point in his life when he didn’t have the support he needed. He’d made a mistake. We could all be in that position.”

Fauonuku met every single requirement Cloward and Peck placed in front of him. Peck also went to bat for Fauonuku with Utah coaches since his scholarship was in jeopardy.

“It was a conditional offer,” said Utah head coach Kyle Whittingham. “He had to hold up his end of the bargain. Ultimately, you want what’s best for the player, what’s best for him as a person. But I’m one who believes in second chances most of the time. And in Seni’s case, we felt he deserved a second chance.”

Fauonuku was ordered to serve 125 hours of 2015 UTAH FOOTBALL 25

UTE SENIOR PROFILE

community service and given six months of probation.

He could only go to school, practice and run errands with his mom. Fauonuku and his mother, Gena Newton, were always close, but she was especially important during this stage of his life. She helped him emotionally get over his nephew’s death; she supported him though his probation; she encouraged him to get his grades back up; and she ultimately helped get him back on the football field, allowing him to keep his scholarship offer from Utah.

“She has always been my rock, the one person who has always been solid throughout my entire life,” Fauonuku said of his mother.

After getting his life in order, Fauonuku helped Bingham wins its second-straight state football title and earned all-state honors in 2010. He redshirted at Utah in 2011, played in 12 games in 2012, and appeared in seven in 2013. Fauonuku had a breakout year in 2014. He played in all 13 games with two starts at defensive tackle, registering 24 stops, 5.5 tackles for loss and two sacks.

Fauonuku easily adjusted to Utah football’s big family after growing up in a house with six siblings

and scores of family and friends around.

“It is hectic,” Fauonuku said of his home life.

“There is always something going on. Our house is pretty loud, but it’s the best environment to be in.

It’s awesome to see my family come to my games, to see them come together as one to watch football. My family comes to every single one of my games.”

What he went through and survived during his teenage years has made Fauonuku especially appreciative for everything he has now. He takes things one day at a time, one play at a time.

Fauonuku, who was the first person in his family to graduate from high school, is on track to earn his degree in sociology from the U. in December. He plans to take a shot at the NFL, but if that doesn’t work out he would like to open a facility for troubled youth.

Fauonuku would also like to stay close to the Utah football family as long as he can.

“I’d love to coach. I’d love to do that. We will just have to see how that one goes,” Fauonuku said.

With a lot of hard work and hard times behind him, Fauonuku is determined to have a great senior year. “Just keep watching. Just keep watching,” he said.

Senior defensive tackle Viliseni Fauonuku has 13 tackles this season, playing in all five games with three starts.

TOM HACKETT

(continued from page 24) (10,188 yards). He has also placed 43 percent of his career punts inside the 20-yard line, and is 3-for-3 on fake punts for first downs.

Hackett was optimistic he would be successful playing college football in America. However, becoming the first player in Pac-12 history to win the Ray Guy Award was not something he considered until the night of ESPN’s college postseason awards show last December.

“I didn’t know that was the case until that night,” Hackett recalled. “When they called my name up, that was one of the things they said and I had no idea. I guess it is kind of cool and different, and I will tell my grandkids when I am older.”

Although Hackett does not like to think about the extra pressure placed on him by being the reigning Ray Guy Award winner, he does admit that it is there. Hackett is not shying away from the greater expectations placed upon him, and uses it as motivation to improve his skills.

“I have been trying to play it off, but internally it has added pressure,” Hackett stated reluctantly.

“I would be lying if I said it didn’t, just because this year is really the first year there is an expectation for me to do well. It is a mental thing and you get over it after a few games. From here on out, I just want

Tom Hackett, always a threat for a fake with his rugbystyle punt, is 3-for-3 in picking up first downs. to execute that traditional punt better because that one really makes me angry when I mishit it. I rarely mishit the rugby-style punt, or the sky punt coming in from midfield, but [the traditional] one I can mishit frequently if I’m not careful.”

Utah is off to an impressive start with a 5-0 record and a No. 4 ranking by the Associated Press, and the specialist tandem of Hackett and junior

kicker Andy Phillips has played a big part in the Utes’ success. Spending a lot of time together in practice and team meetings, it is only natural that they have developed a friendship that extends beyond the field.

“It is unique,” Hackett explained. “We joined the team at exactly the same time. Neither of us had played football before, and we were a kicker and a punter. Whether we liked it or not, we were going to share the same meeting room for the next four years.

We kind of had no real option other than to be good friends, so we decided to do that. It also happens that we both like to play a lot of golf. He is better than me, which frustrates me, but I’ll admit it. There are differences, but we are close. We are just good friends, and click.”

Although a career in the NFL is a distant thought for Hackett for the time being, carrying his love of kicking to the next level is a path that he hopes to follow.

“To be honest with you, it is too much money not to,” Hackett said. “I love kicking a football. It is my passion and it has been my whole life. When you get paid 400K to do it, it would be stupid of me to not give it a crack. I am not going to bloody put all my eggs in one basket and tell myself I’m going to make it. After two years, if I don’t make it, it is not the end of the world, but I’ll give it a good crack.”

Senior Brandon Taylor ranked 10th in the Pac-12 with 1.29 steals per game last season.

BACK FOR MORE Four starters from last year’s Sweet 16 team return as the Runnin’ Utes look for another spectacular season.

By Dameon Myres Utah Athletics Communications

T

he Runnin’ Utes tallied the most wins in the Larry Krystkowiak era last season and the fifth-year head coach has the luxury of bringing back four starters into the upcoming 2015-16 campaign.

With a strong core of experienced players returning to the squad, Utah is more than equipped to make a push towards earning a trip to the NCAA Tournament for a second-straight season.

Coming off its first Sweet 16 appearance since 2005, the Utah Runnin’ Utes will look to make history again in 2015-16. Utah won 26 games last season, eclipsing the 25-wins or more mark for the first time since the 2004-05 squad tallied a 29-6 record. Utah finished in a tie for second-place in the Pac-12 after going 13-5 in league play and the 13 victories are the most since the Utes joined the league in 2011.

Utah earned its first Associated Press (AP) national ranking since 2008-09 last season, polling as high as the No. 8 ranked team back on Jan. 12, 2015.

The Utes were ranked in the AP Top-25 rankings for 19 of the 20 weeks and finished the regular season ranked No. 19. Following its run in the NCAA Tournament, Utah finished the campaign ranked No. 15 in the USA Today Coaches Poll.

The Utes bring back a ton of talent from last season, which includes four starters and 10 letterwinners from a squad that won a pair of NCAA Tournament games before falling to eventual national champion Duke in the Sweet 16. The Utes welcome six new signees, including a pair of junior college transfers that will provide both experience and depth for the upcoming season.

“This season is no different than any other season,” Krystkowiak said. “From a mental approach for us coaches, we are just trying to put these players in the best position we can for them to be successful.

It is a little different playing field internally for us in the fact that we have a number of players back. We have three seniors that have played a large number of minutes since they were freshmen, so I like the experience that we bring back with this team.”

Utah will look to continue its success on the defensive side of the ball after finishing the 2014-15 season ranked No. 8 in the nation in scoring defense (57.1 ppg), No. 8 in field-goal percentage defense (.384) and No. 23 in blocked shots (5.0/game).

Starters returning from last season include senior guard Brandon Taylor, senior forward Jordan Loveridge, junior forward Chris Reyes and sophomore forward/center Jakob Poeltl. The Utes also have the luxury of bringing back sophomore forwards Brekkott Chapman and Kyle Kuzma,

His 2.34 three-pointers made-per-game ranked fourth in the Pac-12 and he also dished out 3.34 assists-per-game, which ranked 11th in the conference. Defensively, Taylor ranked 10th in the Pac-12 with 1.29 steals per game.

Taylor went on to earn All-Pac-12 Second Team honors and the Los Angeles native was also named a Pac-12 All-Defensive Team Honorable Mention selection. Also known as a great student in the classroom, Taylor was tabbed a Pac-12 All-Academic First Team selection.

Taylor will continue to climb Utah’s all-time career leaderboard lists in a multitude of statistical categories, including three-point attempts, threepointers made, three-point shooting percentage, assists and steals. He heads into the season ranked No. 5 all-time in three-point attempts (429), No. 6 in three-pointers made (180) and No. 6 in three-point percentage (.420). Taylor needs just 64 assists and 15

THE UTAH FIGHT SONG

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

Ki-yi!

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.

CHORUS (same)

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!

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!

ADMINISTRATION

Year at Utah: 29th 1987-present: Director of Athletics 1998-present: Special Assistant to the President

J

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 29th year at Utah, he is the nation’s longest actively tenured athletics director at the same school in the NCAA FBS.

Among Hill’s most monumental accomplishments 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. 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 (200409), 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 12-4 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 14 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 28 years with Hill as AD—and the ski team has finished first or 58 2015 UTAH FOOTBALL

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 1975-79 (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; two granddaughters, Addie and Lily, and a grandson, Jack.
