RICE- ECCLES STADIUM

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 2017 season, Utah has played to 44-straight sellouts (41 which exceeded the seating capacity) in Rice-Eccles Stadium extending back to the 2010 opener against Pittsburgh. In its first 19 years, there have been 62 total standing-room-only crowds.

The venue’s seating capacity was increased from 45,017 to 45,807 in 2014, and as a result, the top three season attendance averages and 11 of the top 15 single-game crowds in Rice-Eccles Stadium history were recorded in the last three years. The Utes averaged a school-record 46,533 fans per game in 2015, when they also recorded their best single-game attendance mark (47,825 vs. Michigan). Dating back to its 13-0 Sugar Bowl campaign of 2008, Utah’s average attendance has exceeded the stadium’s capacity for nine 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 delivers some of the best special effects in the sports industry and synchronizes with the LED boards in the north end zone. Another improvement in 2016 was a distributed sound system that enhances the sound quality in every 8

2017 UTAH FOOTBALL

section of Rice-Eccles Stadium while also reducing noise to the surrounding community.

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 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.

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 were not the first time the scoreboards have been replaced since RiceEccles 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.

UTE 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 15 times (1978, ‘88, ‘93, ‘94, ’95, ’99, 2002, ’03, ’04, ’05, ‘08, ‘11, ‘13, ‘15 and ‘16), 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 are illuminated primarily for athletic events and to notify people in the Salt Lake valley that the Utes are

10

2017 UTAH FOOTBALL

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 16 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 2001 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: 13th Career Record: 104-50 Bowl Record: 10-1* (*2005 Fiesta Bowl Co-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. Utah has won 189 games in Whittingham’s 23 years on the staff, including a 104-50 record in 12 years as the head coach.

Among those head coaching wins is a remarkable 10-1 bowl record. Whittingham owns the best bowl win percentage in NCAA history (91%) and his 10 bowl wins ties him for second among active coaches (one behind Alabama’s Nick Saban). Including ties, he is ranked in the top 10 in all-time bowl victories.

Overall, he has averaged nearly nine wins a season as Utah’s head coach. The Utes have wins over every team in the Pac-12 Conference since joining the league in 2011 and Whittingham’s impressive nonconference resume includes a winning record against current members of the other Power Five conferences: 4-0 vs. the Big Ten, 7-1 against the ACC, 1-0 vs. the SEC and 4-3 over the Big 12.

Whittingham came to Utah in 1994 as the defensive line coach and was promoted to defensive coordinator the following year. On December 8, 2004, he 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 continued in the Pac-12 Conference where Utah has claimed one South Division co-championship (2015) and has finished in the top three in the South three times (2011, 2015, 2016). The Utes have won all four of their bowl games since joining the Pac-12. Whittingham has been a

semifinalist for the George Munger Coach of the Year Award for the past three seasons (2014-16).

His teams have recorded five AP top-25 finishes: No. 2 (2008), No. 17 (2015), No. 18 (2009), No. 21 (2014) and No. 23 (2016). In 2010, Utah finished No. 23 in the Coaches’ poll. Utah has appeared in every College Football Playoff ranking since its inception in 2014—finishing No. 22 in 2014 and 2015 and No. 19 in 2016.

Whittingham has also achieved success against AP top-25 teams, logging 13 wins over ranked teams, including victories over No. 4 Alabama (2009), No. 5 Stanford (2013) and No. 8 UCLA (2014).

Whittingham’s players have earned numerous individual honors as well. Eleven of his players have made major All-America teams in 13 seasons.

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), Nate Orchard (2014, defensive end), Kaelin Clay (2014, returner), Tom Hackett (2014, consensus punter; 2015,

unanimous consensus punter) and Mitch Wishnowsky (2016, unanimous consensus punter). Whittingham has also coached three second-team All-Americans in Morgan Scalley (2004, defensive back), Caleb Schlauderaff (2010, offensive line) and Hunter Dimick (2016, defensive end).

Whittingham, who also coaches Utah’s punters and kickers, has mentored the Ray Guy Award winner as the nation’s best punter in the last three seasons (Hackett, 2014-15 and Wishnowsky, 2016). Orchard was another of his national award winners, receiving the 2014 Ted Hendricks Award as the country’s top defensive end.

Whittingham’s players have won 70 first-team all-conference awards, including 19 in Utah’s first six seasons of Pac-12 play. Among them were three-time first-team honoree Hackett (2013-15) and two-time recipient Lotulelei (2011-12). Utes have also captured three Morris Awards, which honors the Pac-12’s best linemen as voted on by the starting linemen on all 12 teams. Utah winners were defensive tackle Lotulelei in 2011, defensive end Orchard in 2014 and offensive guard Isaac Asiata in 2016.

Prior to joining the Pac-12, Whittingham coached a Mountain West Conference MVP in fivestraight years from 2004-08: Defensive Players of the Year Scalley (2004) and Weddle (2005 and 2006), Special Teams Player of the Year Sakoda (2006, 2007, 2008), and Offensive Player of the Year Brian Johnson (2008).

Utah has also excelled academically under Whittingham. Since he became head coach in 2005, his players have earned four Academic All-America citations and 218 academic all-conference awards.

Whittingham owns a reputation for developing NFL talent, which was reinforced by a school-record eight NFL draft picks in 2017. Utah’s eight draft picks in 2017 led the Pac-12 and tied for third in the country. In 2010, six Utes were drafted, which tied for fourth nationally. As an assistant or head coach, 80 of Whittingham’s players have signed contracts with NFL teams. Among them were 45 draft picks— including 13 first or second-round selections—and 36 undrafted free agents.

Whittingham began his coaching career in 198586 as a graduate assistant at his alma mater, Brigham Young. He spent one season as the defensive coordinator at the College of Eastern Utah in 1987, before a six-year stint at Idaho State from 1988-93.

A linebacker for BYU from 1978-81, Whittingham earned first-team all-WAC and WAC Defensive Player of the Year honors in 1981. He played in the first four Holiday Bowls and was named Defensive MVP of the 1981 game. In 2008, he was inducted into the Holiday Bowl Hall of Fame. After his senior season, Whittingham played in the Hula and Japan Bowls. He played professionally with the Denver Broncos (1982 training camp) and the U.S. Football League’s (USFL) Denver Gold (1983) and New Orleans Breakers (1984). He played on the Los Angeles Rams’ replacement squad in 1987.

Whittingham graduated from BYU in 1984 and added a master’s degree from the school in 1987.

Born Nov. 21, 1959, he was raised in Provo, Utah. He is married to the former Jamie Daniels. They have four children: Tyler, Melissa, Alex and Kylie, and one grandchild. Tyler played for the Utes from 2009-11 and Alex is in his senior season at Utah.

UTE SENIOR PROFILE

Troy Williams directed the Utes to nine wins as the starter last season after transferring from Santa Monica College

THREE STOP TOUR

Senior quarterback Troy Williams reflects on how he made his way to Utah, where he has been a two-year team captain.

By Chalis Benda Utah Athletics Communications

T

roy Williams did not envision playing for three teams during his college football career.

Coming out of Narbonne High School, the twotime CIF Los Angeles City Section Division I Player of the Year and honorable mention Parade All-American had scholarship offers from schools all over the country, including Ole Miss, Florida, Georgia Tech, and the majority of the Pac-12 schools. The list goes on 24

2017 UTAH FOOTBALL

and on. Ultimately, the University of Washington stood above the rest for the 6-foot-2 senior. “[Washington] was a good fit with Coach (Steve) Sarkisian,” Williams said. “I fell in love with his system. It was a lot of L.A. guys and Narbonne guys, in particular. I knew about three or four of them up there. I looked up to those guys my freshman year, just hanging out with them and being on the field.

Coach Sark is also a Southern California guy so I fell in love with him. Just being up there with the guys really made me feel like I was at home.”

Williams redshirted under Sarkisian in 2013, but their time together was cut short when Sarkisian left UW to become the head coach at USC. Williams started one game for the Huskies under new head coach Chris Peterson in 2014; however, Williams never felt the same connection with Peterson as he had with Sarkisian and decided early on that year he was intent on finding a fresh start at another school.

Williams transferred to Santa Monica College in 2015, throwing for 2,750 yards and 31 touchdowns with just four interceptions. While he excelled on the field and did what he needed to do to give himself a chance to move on to another NCAA Division I program, he struggled with the move to the junior college level.

“It was hard leaving my brothers up in Seattle,” Williams explained. “I had a big bond with those guys.

That was the first group of guys that I really lived with.

It was hard leaving them but it was the best decision for me and they understood that. Just going there (Santa Monica College) and going through the whole JUCO process opened my eyes and showed me how lucky I was to be in a D-I program.”

During his time at Santa Monica, Williams’ mother, Kimberly, was diagnosed with cancer. She struggled just to survive at first but eventually beat the disease. However, that period of his life made Williams work harder every day to make his mom proud.

Williams took his unofficial visit to Utah in the summer of 2015 and received a scholarship offer midway through the following season at Santa Monica. He committed to the Utes immediately and joined them for spring practice in 2016. He was named the starter in fall camp and later voted a team captain.

“I couldn’t wait to get here,” Williams said. “It was great getting back to Division I, the whole bigtime environment and everything like that. I didn’t mind moving at all. It was a great move. I have been enjoying it since I got here.”

In his first season as a Ute, Williams started all 13 games and completed 207-of-390 pass attempts (53.1%) for 2,757 yards and 15 touchdowns. He ranked fifth in the Pac-12 in passing yards.

Entering the 2017 season opener, Williams is listed as the backup to sophomore Tyler Huntley.

However, Williams’ experience will make him both an experienced backup at one of the most important positions on the team and a valuable mentor to Huntley. The two have been roommates on road trips and have become “best of friends” according to Huntley since they joined the team together in 2016. (continued on page 26)

UTE SENIOR PROFILE

ANCHOR IN THE TRENCHES Filipo Mokofisi hopes to establish himself as one of the best defensive tackles in the Pac-12 in his third year as a starter.

By Riley Elliott Utah Athletics Communications

F

ilipo Mokofisi knew early in his life that football was something he wanted to pursue.

With Mokofisi’s father and uncles all playing for the University of Utah, and his father also spending some time in the NFL, football was something that he was brought into at a very young age.

“My family was my biggest inspiration growing up playing football, especially my father. Hopefully I can continue playing at the next level, like my dad, but we’ll see what happens,” Mokofisi said.

Before playing at the U., Mokofisi attended Woods Cross High School, which is a short drive away from the U. campus. His senior year, he recorded 49 tackles, six sacks, and even snagged one interception.

With those impressive statistics, Mokofisi was named first-team 4A all-state and first-team all-region six.

During high school, he was recruited by many different colleges, but knew that Utah was the place for him.

“So many of my family members have attended the University of Utah, and it was also really close to home,” Mokofisi said. “Growing up, I was always a Utah fan, and my whole life it has been a dream of mine to play football at the University of Utah.”

During his Ute debut season in 2014, Mokofisi played in all 13 games with two starts. He recorded 17 tackles, 3.0 tackles for loss, 1.5 sacks and a fumble recovery. The following year, Mokofisi missed four games due to injury, but still played in nine games with seven starts. Even with his playing time reduced, he recorded 21 tackles, 3.5 tackles for loss and 1.5 sacks.

Last season was Mokofisi’s breakout year as he earned All-Pac-12 honorable mention recognition.

In 13 games he recorded a career-high 45 tackles, 8.0 tackles for loss and 5.0 sacks. Those are pretty impressive numbers, but Mokofisi knows there is room for improvement.

“My favorite part about playing defensive line is the physicality of the position, and you’re right in the middle of the action,” Mokofisi explained. “This off-season I’ve been working on my weight, pass rush,

Senior defensive tackle Filipo Mokofisi earned All-Pac-12 honorable mention recognition in 2016. using my hands more, and my get-off. There have been a lot of things to improve on this off-season, but the hard work is paying off.”

With this being Mokofisi’s senior year, he is finding himself in different situations than he has been in before. With a major portion of the defense leaving last year for the draft, he has now become one of the veterans of that unit. He also knows this defense is very young.

“I’m definitely finding myself in more of a leadership role now,” Mokofisi said. “I think I could step up a little more and become one of the main leaders on the team because I’ve been here for a while. I think we are coming together really good, we’re finally

playing as a whole and coming together. A good amount of guys left the defense after last season and the younger guys have had to step up, but they’ve learned fast.”

Entering his final season at Utah, Mokofisi has set very high standards for himself and the whole team. He wants to go out with a bang and also get progressively better as the season goes on so that he can prepare for the next level.

“Really, for me, it’s just to win and make as many plays as I can,” Mokofisi outlined. “Team goal wise, we want to make it to the Rose Bowl and be part of the [College Football] Playoffs.” (continued on page 26) 2017 UTAH FOOTBALL

UTE SENIOR PROFILE Filipo Mokofisi (continued from page 25)

While Mokofisi is looking forward to this season, he also has an eye toward what will happen after he finishes playing college football and graduates in December with his degree in sociology.

“If the NFL is an option, that’s definitely something that I want to pursue,” Mokofisi said.

“If not that, then I’m going to find a job in the field of law enforcement. I chose to major in sociology because it’s going to help me with what I want to do after I’m done with football. I would like to get involved in law enforcement, the FBI, or CIA.”

Preparing for his final season as a Ute, Mokofisi is determined as ever to make a statement and solidify himself as one of the best defensive linemen in the Pac-12. As he digs in to hold down the trenches, look for Mokofisi to have another impressive season for the crimson and white.

Filipo Mokofisi recorded a career-high 45 tackles, 8.0 tackles for loss and 5.0 sacks in 13 games last season.

Troy Williams (continued from page 24) Williams said he owes his family a great deal for his athletics success. While growing up, Williams also played basketball and baseball, but around the age of 12 he decided to stick just to football. Williams admits that basketball will always be his first love but he knows he is a better football player than basketball player. His older cousin, Trey, also had an influence on his decision to focus on football.

“I wanted to do everything he did,” Williams

laughed. “Wear the same shoes, same socks, everything. I saw him playing football and I wanted to play. He’s the reason why I really started. He had a big impact on my whole sports career and everything else.”

Williams’ father, Troy Sr., was also a major influence on him. He coached him in all three sports while growing up, and the one thing that stuck with Williams was the importance of having a strong work ethic. To this day, Williams is always one of the last players to leave the practice field, taking the time to put in extra work.

“My dad hammered that into my head ever since

Senior quarterback Troy Williams ranked fifth in the Pac-12 with 2,757 passing yards and threw for15 touchdowns.

I was a young kid,” Williams explained. “He would take me to the gym after hours and make me shoot around.

I couldn’t leave until I made this amount of free throws or until I made a certain time in the gassers or suicides, whatever it was. I used to hate it with a passion. But I am glad he pounded that into my head. It made me into the man I am today.”

Knowing that this will be his last season as a Ute, Williams is trying to go out playing his best in whatever time he gets. Voted a team captain for the second-straight year, Williams knows his teammates look up to him. But he is going into the season with the same mindset he has always had: be the best version of himself that he can be.

“Those guys look up to me to make the first down, to make the right call, or whatever it is. I know they look to me to make those kind of decisions. I just have to tell myself to go out there and just be me. I don’t try to be a big commander or the colonel or anything like that. I just try to encourage my guys and keep them upbeat,” Williams said. “I am trying to help my team win as many games as possible and do whatever I need to do for the team. Just try to go out the right way.”

Williams’ ultimate goal is to make his family proud.

“That is my big thing,” Williams said. “I made a promise to my mom that I would do everything I can to focus and get the job done. I am going to make sure I keep that promise.”

UTAH COMPLIANCE PLAYBOOK

Join the Utes and play by the rules!

Joergen Brath from the men’s ski team was the recipient of Utah’s 2017 Dr. Burtis Evans Scholarship Award.

W

e hope you are excited to cheer on our University of Utah student-athletes during another year of competition in the Pac-12 Conference! In doing so, it is important to remember that NCAA rules apply to everyone, including studentathletes, coaches, staff, and YOU – boosters and supporters of Utah Athletics! Following NCAA rules is everyone’s responsibility. Included below are a few rules from the playbook of which you should be aware.

WHO IS A BOOSTER OR REPRESENTATIVE OF ATHLETICS INTERESTS?

You are a booster if you contribute to the Athletics Department, participate in booster organizations (like the Crimson Club), hold season tickets, have a guardianship role over a studentathlete, provided allowable benefits to studentathletes, participated as a varsity student-athlete at the University of Utah, or promote Utah Athletics in any way. Once an individual has been identified as a booster, that individual maintains that status as a booster for life.

HOW CAN BOOSTERS HELP?

You can support Utah Athletics in many different ways: contributing money to endowments

Utah Athletics recognized women’s soccer player Cabria Turang as the winner of the 2017 John Crawford Jr. Community Service Award.

or scholarship funds, buying season tickets, donating frequent flyer miles, and/or employing studentathletes at a commensurate pay rate for jobs they perform. Please contact the Crimson Club for more information on ways you can support Utah Athletics.

Additionally, it may be possible for a booster to provide an “occasional meal” at their home for a student-athlete or team. Please contact the Athletics Compliance Office for more information regarding hosting an occasional meal; these meals require pre-approval and paperwork to be submitted to the Athletics Compliance Office prior to hosting.

WHAT ARE THE NCAA RULES REGARDING BOOSTERS?

Boosters commonly want to help individual student-athletes or their families, but NCAA rules prohibit student-athletes and their families from receiving extra benefits that are not permitted by NCAA rules or are not available to all University of Utah students. Never provide student-athletes (or their families) with money, gifts, free meals, discounted services, or any other extra benefits without first asking the Athletics Compliance Office! Providing student-athletes with impermissible benefits could jeopardize their athletic eligibility.

Luisa Gerstner da Rosa of women’s tennis earned Utah’s James R. “Bud” Jack Scholar Athlete Award for 2017.

The NCAA also limits contact with prospective student-athletes (“prospects”) by Utah coaches and staff members. The NCAA defines a prospect as any individual who has started classes for the ninth grade.

As a booster, you should not contact a prospect or his/her family for any athletically-related reason. You may attend a prospect’s game on your own initiative, as long as you do not talk to the prospect or his/her family. If you ever find yourself in a conversation with a prospect or prospect’s family and Utah Athletics becomes a topic, please politely explain that NCAA rules prohibit you from discussing Utah Athletics and direct their questions to the appropriate Utah coach.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!

Thank you for supporting Utah Athletics. The

University of Utah seeks to attain the highest standard of ethical conduct, and we appreciate your help in achieving our goals. If you ever have any questions regarding NCAA rules, please contact the Utah Athletics Compliance Office.

Kate Charipar Associate Athletics Director for Compliance (801) 585-1629 Zak Pendleton Director of Compliance (801) 585-3819 Brittney Anderson-Duzan Associate Director of Compliance (803) 360-8500 Jon Cantu Assistant Registrar for Athletics Eligibility (509) 438-2286 Eric Heier Compliance Coordinator (801) 636-4239

UTAH SOCCER PREVIEW

WHERE CAN THEY GO FROM HERE? Ute team loaded with experience from NCAA Sweet 16 run a year ago comes back for more in 2017.

Hailey Skolmoski, an NSCAA All-Region and All-Pac-12 selection last season, ranked top 25 in the nation with 13 goals last season.

By Drew Wiseman Associate Director – Utah Athletics Communications

T

he 2016 Utah Utes had the best postseason performance in program history, reaching the third round of the NCAA Tournament with wins over Texas Tech and No. 10 Florida State before falling to eventual national champion USC.

The 2016 Utah Utes had the best postseason performance in program history, reaching the third round of the NCAA Tournament with wins over Texas Tech and No. 10 Florida State before falling to eventual national champion USC.

The Utes had their most wins since 2006 with 13, accrued their highest point total since joining the Pac-12, and featured three All Pac-12 performers in Hailey Skolmoski, Tavia Leachman and Katie Rogers.

Skolmoski and Leachman also earned NSCAA AllRegion recognition.

Skolmoski is back along with 80 percent of the

team’s scoring output, while Leachman anchors a completely intact backline. The Utes also retain both goalkeepers who provided the final line of defense for a club that ranked 14th in the NCAA in goals against average (0.68) last season.

“We hope to improve upon what we were able to establish last season,” Utah head coach Rich Manning said. “Our team has a solid corps of returners that we can rely on and we have added some exciting freshmen, as well as some players that are coming back from injuries, to give us more options and depth throughout the lineup.”

FORWARDS

Up front, Utah has a pair of outstanding starters in Hailey Skolmoski and Natalie Vukic.

Skolmoski was named to the 2017 MAC Hermann Watch List, an award given to the best soccer player in the nation. Last season, she was named to the NSCAA All-Pacific Region First Team and also became the first

Ute to ever earn First Team All Pac-12 honors.

Skolmoski’s 13 goals were the most for any Ute since 2007 and ranked 23rd in the nation, tops among Pac-12 players. Her 29 points and seven gamewinning goals also paced the Pac-12. Skolmoski was also invited to play for the U-23 Women’s National Team this past summer. The Riverton, Utah, native started all 14 games during her freshman year in 2015 as a defender until suffering a season-ending injury.

Vukic is a four-year starter and has only missed one match during her time with the Utes. As a freshman, she finished third on the team in goals and as a sophomore, she paced the squad in goals and points. Last year, she netted in the NCAA Tournament victory over No. 20 Florida State and was used more on the wings, rather than in a center forward role Ireland Dunn was in the same boat as a few of the other freshmen who played in the midfield and up front last season. She played in every game, and by the end of the year had adjusted nicely to Pac-12 play to become a vital part of the Utah rotation. She will be asked to provide goals up front this season along with redshirt freshman Kristin Fairbairn, another Canadian product who missed all of last year due to an injury.

MIDFIELDERS

In the attacking midfield role, Utah welcomes back Paola van der Veen. Another midfielder who was limited due to injuries in 2016, the Dutch native has fully recovered and is hoping to recapture the quality she brought to the lineup two years ago, when she led the team in assists and was named to the Pac12 All-Freshman Team.

Natalie Kump missed all of last season due to injury and is back to full strength for this year. The Calgary commit impressed during the preseason and is ready for an increased workload. Haley Farrar continues the Utes’ Salt Lake City connection after starring at East High School. She was a team captain and named all-state with the Leopards, and played club with Utah Avalanche, a local team that also fielded five other current Utes.

In the middle of the pitch and on the wings, the Utes have a number of players who will see action in 2017.

Eden Jacobsen started 19 games in the midfield last season, moving into more of an offensive role after playing every game as a freshman. Holly Daugirda was involved in every game last season as a newcomer, notching a goal and three assists off the bench for Utah.

Max Flom was another key contributor, scoring the equalizer in the regular-season contest with No. 4 USC and adding another goal and assist. She has played in every game during her first two seasons with the program. Ella Ballstaedt was another option 2017 UTAH FOOTBALL

THE UTAH FIGHT SONG

CHORUS (same)

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!

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

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 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!

CHRIS HILL, PH.D. ATHLETICS DIRECTOR

Year at Utah: 31st 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 31st year at Utah, he is the nation’s longest actively tenured athletics director at the same school in the NCAA FBS. Hill’s most monumental accomplishment was spearheading Utah’s move to the Pac-12 Conference in 2011. In their first six seasons in the “Conference of Champions,” the Utes have won three Pac-12 gymnastics championships (2014, 2015, 2016), one baseball title (2016) and a football South Division co-championship (2015).

Utah has won 10 NCAA team championships during Hill’s tenure—six by the ski team (including the 2017 NCAA title) and four by the gymnastics team.

The Utes have also placed second in the nation 16 times since he took the helm, including the 1998 men’s basketball team’s NCAA runner-up finish and a No. 2 final national ranking by the football team after its win over Alabama in the 2009 Sugar Bowl.

Hill 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.

2017 UTAH FOOTBALL

The football program, which had not played in a bowl in the 22 years preceding Hill’s appointment as athletics director, is 14-4 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 also has 15 NCAA appearances, making the Sweet 16 twice and the Elite Eight once. The gymnastics team has made 20 NCAA Super Six appearances while qualifying for the NCAA Championships all 30 years with Hill as AD—and the ski team has finished first or second in the nation 15 times under his watch.

He has received a number of awards, including the following: 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 New Jersey native 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.

Hill 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 (197981). From 1983-85, he taught in the University’s special education department before becoming the athletic department’s Crimson Club director (1985-86).

In 1987, he was named 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.

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.

THE 2017.5 NISSAN ROGUE®

Now Standard on every Nissan Rogue: Automatic Emergency Braking | Blind Spot Warning | Rear Cross Traffic Alert The 2017 Nissan Rogue helps cover you from every angle.

Straight up the A-gap. Down the middle. Even sideline-to-sideline. Rogue’s Intelligent Safety Shield Technologies work together to help sense more around you and give you an extra hand when you need it. Now, you can worry more about the big game. And less about getting to it, safely.

TAKE ON TODAY 1. Automatic Emergency Braking: AEB cannot prevent accidents due to carelessness or dangerous driving techniques. It may not provide warning or braking in certain conditions. Speed limitations apply. 2. Blind Spot Warning: Blind Spot Warning is not a substitute for proper lane change procedures. The system will not prevent contact with other vehicles or accidents. It may not detect every vehicle or object around you. 3. Rear Cross Traffic: Not a substitute for proper backing procedures. May not detect all moving vehicles. Speed and other limitations apply. See owner’s manual for details.
