Rece Davis and Desmond Howard told media on Friday that each of Kyle Whittingham, Bryson Barnes, Sione Vaki, and Jonah Elliss — among others — have made the Utes a compelling team.
Davis, analyst Desmond Howard, and the rest of the GameDay are indeed here for work, which on this occasion happens to be previewing Saturday afternoon’s matchup between Utah and Oregon at Rice-Eccles Stadium — a game that figures to have significant Pac-12 implications. Davis said the Utes are consistently good because the coaching staff is not only adept at recognizing talent, but perhaps even better at maximizing it. He said he appreciated that so many standout Utes players wind up excelling at positions different than what they were originally recruited as.
“I shouldn’t be, but probably a little bit, to be honest. Especially when he struggled in the early part of the season,” he said. “But I said last week that after they hadin hand and sort of let it get away, with the fourth quarter and punt return and turnover, that most teams would come apart, frustrated, or some anxiety that would surface. … And yet, he came out there calm and made plays, made that huge run, showed extraordinary toughness, which sort of epitomizes this entire program.
“In my opinion, as a Heisman winner, as a Heisman voter, it’s not about your stats, it’s about Heisman moments in big games,” said Howard. “… He has an opportunity now, he’s coming from behind. Let’s keep it 100 — he’s comingfrom behind. But if he’s able to do some things, maybe he can get an invite. But you have some games coming up where people will really be paying attention. Like tomorrow.”
