Utah Valley; New Grounds for Rivalry

By Jacob Sorenson Utah has arguably some of the greatest up and coming sports teams in the nation. After years of being overlooked in all major athletics, Utah colleges and universities have excelled. Among those Utah Valley has seemed to find their niche. Centered right off the freeway in Orem, the largest school in the state should seemingly have wide recognition and also with open enrollment you can imagine that the athletes must abound at such a school.  After being overlooked while under the name UVSC, Utah Valley has now reached the ranks of the WAC conference. Even producing stars like Ronnie Price who still plays for the Suns in the NBA, Utah Valley just could not receive national attention like they have been able to do since their emergence to Division One. Now, we fast forward. Six years following their entry to the WAC conference and becoming Utah Valley University the wolverines are set to play the BYU Cougars.

BYU FOOTBALL: Knee Jerk Reactions

By Jacob Sorenson You could consider today an emotional day around BYU football. Legends have been made and some passed on. Specifically today, one legend will remain a legend, although passed on.

Sputtery Offense? Utes' Prove Otherwise

By Jacob Sorenson Utah football writing can be difficult when the main focus is always their defense. For me, a spectator who enjoys good college football but not technically an avid supporter, I've attempted the past couple of seasons to take a very raw approach when analyzing the Utes'. I have watched, reviewed, and witnessed Utah football as an outsider with a hope of achieving balanced views. Constant questions returning to mind are; Do the Utes have the offensive presence to succeed? Do the Utes have the balance required to win the PAC12 south? Will Utah's offense have a more balanced attack and not be so predictable? Following their come from behind 31-27 win many of those questions were answered. If I did not believe or had potential doubts in the first few weeks of the season, each were for the time being satisfied. It all began in the first half when I leaned over to Shawn stating that the Utes' were too predictable. Run, Run, Run, and if necessary pass...
