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. 8
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. RICE- ECCLES STADIUM TOP CROWDS

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

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.

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

Last Game Joe Williams ran wild in Utah’s 52-45 win against UCLA in the Rose Bowl, rushing for a school-record 332 yards and tying the school mark with four touchdowns. Williams’ 332 yards was the most in the FBS this season and the fourth-best rushing total in Pac-12 history. Cory Butler-Byrd, who returned the game’s first kickoff 99 yards for a touchdown, finished with 251 all-purpose yards. The Utes jumped to a 14-0 lead only to see UCLA score 21 unanswered points to finish the first quarter. Utah snatched the lead back for good in the third quarter on a 46-yard field goal by Andy Phillips, who also made two 45-yard kicks. Brian Allen and Jordan Fogal had two interceptions apiece and Chase Hansen forced and recovered a fumble. Whittingham File Twelfth-year head coach Kyle Whittingham—the 2008 National Coach of the Year—became the 24th active FBS coach in the country to reach 100 wins on Oct. 8 against Arizona.

In his 23rd season overall at Utah, he has participated in more victories than any football coach in school history (187). Whittingham’s 90-percent bowl winning percentage (9-1 record) ranks first all-time in the NCAA. His postseason victories include a 2-0 mark in BCS bowl games as the co-coach of Utah’s Fiesta Bowl win over Pittsburgh in the 2004 season and the head coach for Utah’s 2009 Sugar Bowl win over Alabama.

hen asked to describe his college football journey, the two words that come first and foremost to Isaac Asiata’s mind are family and maturity. As the Ute senior offensive lineman’s career enters its final weeks, Asiata now realizes more than ever how the Utah football program has impacted his

life and played a major role in shaping him into the person he has become. Asiata grew up in Spanish Fork, Utah, and began playing football in the fifth grade. Living in the heart of BYU territory and surrounded by Cougar fans, almost all of his friends supported and cheered for Utah’s in-state rival. However, Asiata always felt there was
something else in store for him and he dreamed of playing for the University of Utah. He signed with the Utes after earning prep all-state honors as a junior and senior. The Asiata name is certainly not foreign to the Utah football program. Isaac is the cousin of Matt Asiata, a former Ute running back who has played in the NFL for the Minnesota Vikings since 2011, and Shawn Asiata, who played fullback for the U. from 2010-11. “There is a legacy here with the Asiata name,” Isaac said. “Matt was a legendary running back and I was able to play with Shawn my redshirt year. I hope I am doing those two proud and that I am able to carry on the name here with pride.” In addition to his blood ties, Asiata has forged more family relationships within the program. His teammates have become his closest friends and he would do anything for them. Competing in the Pac-12 can be relentlessly challenging, but Asiata says that when his teammates are pushing him it is impossible to give up because you can never quit on your family. “I only have a few more games with these guys so that gives me motivation to give everything I’ve got. I don’t want to look back at my college career and think I could have done more for my brothers and even for myself,” Asiata stated. In addition to his memories of family, Asiata describes his college football journey as a maturing process. He came to the U. in 2011 and redshirted his first year before leaving to serve an LDS mission. When he returned from his stay in Tulsa, Okla., Asiata knew he needed to be ready to work hard and fall back into the demands of football. “I needed to get used to the speed and I had to grow up. Once you are here, you can’t be a kid anymore and you have to learn to mature into the game. I think my mission really helped me grow and be ready to play once I came back,” Asiata explained. His first season back, Asiata played in six games with four starts at right tackle. After the 2013 season, Asiata was moved to guard. He feels that he is most comfortable and can best help the team at that position. Asiata has started every game at guard the last three seasons and has been one of the most consistent players on the Utah offensive line. This year, he is second on the team with 628 plays and leads Utah with 12 cuts. He has also embraced a leadership role on the O-line. “I fell right back into football when I returned from my mission. Playing in the Pac-12, I think the coaches were trying to develop something different on the O-line. I am glad I was able to be a part of the change and that I was able to mature through the (continued on page 26)

SECOND CHANCE As an aspiring writer, senior cornerback Dominic Hatfield can appreciate his own life story, one filled with ups and downs, and lessons learned. By Chalis Benda Utah Athletics Communications
A
fter beginning his Utah career as a raw but talented wide receiver, the fact that Dominique Hatfield has developed into one of the better defensive backs in the Pac-12 Conference is a great story on its own merits. However, what has happened to Hatfield between the lines during his time as a Ute is only a small part of the larger narrative. One game into his sophomore season in 2014, Hatfield was moved to cornerback and took on a major role immediately. He started the final 10 games that season, finishing with 38 tackles, nine pass breakups, and a pick six to clinch Utah’s win at Colorado. With a year of experience behind him and more time to hone his skills at defensive back the following spring, Hatfield seemed destined for a breakout year in 2015. But life isn’t always perfect, and neither are some of the decisions made along the way. In July of 2015, Hatfield was arrested for suspicion of aggravated robbery—a first-degree felony—and was dismissed from the team. He left Salt Lake City and returned to his mother’s home in Los Angeles, where feelings of despair began to weigh down on him heavily. Hatfield had fought so hard to get out of his old neighborhood, and he was fearful he was headed down the same path of so many other kids who were given a chance to have a better life, only to blow it. “I literally cried three or four days straight. I didn’t leave the house,” Hatfield recalled. However, the surveillance video of the crime showed a man who wasn’t Hatfield. The charges were dismissed a month later and he was allowed to return to school, but it would take another month for Hatfield to be allowed back on the team. Shortly after his July arrest, Hatfield was charged with misdemeanor assault in a separate incident. He entered a plea of no contest last March, but that will be held in abeyance by the Salt Lake Justice Court. The case will be dismissed in a

Hatfield takes full responsibility for his missteps, and is grateful for a second chance at Utah. “Sometimes I’ll do things, and I wouldn’t listen to my conscience. It’s not that I don’t have one; I just wouldn’t care. Now I have to sit back from the crowd, detach myself and think about what I’m doing, who is watching and think about what can happen from all of this,” Hatfield said. Once he got word that he might be cleared of his aggravated robbery charges, Hatfield started to come out of his mental fog and got back to work. He spent countless hours in the gym on his own and made a concerted effort to be there for his teammates even though he couldn’t be with them in person during summer workouts. Everyone still treated him the same, and their support helped carry him through those tough times. “My teammates were texting me, making me feel like they really wanted me here, and not just kicking me to the curb,” he said.
He also talked regularly to his position coach, Sharrieff Shah. “He was being a friend, someone not just focused on football,” Hatfield said. “He was just focused on me being OK, me staying positive and not falling into the traps of being back home.” When his legal issues were cleared up, Hatfield was reinstated to the team and played in the final 12 games last season with 11 starts. He made 33 tackles and tied for third in the Pac-12 Conference with four interceptions. Hatfield’s teammates were there every step of the way for him and he never gave up on them. Their bond was taken a step further when Hatfield was voted a team captain for the 2016 season. “I was shocked, still am, at the fact that I was chosen a team captain,” Hatfield said. “Just because of everything I did, I brought negative attention to the school and my team. I came back around and they let me come back with open arms. It says a lot more about them than it says about me.”

UTE SENIOR PROFILE / / / / / / Hatfield realizes there are a lot of responsibilities that come with being a captain. Not only does he have to take care of himself, he also has to be there for everyone else; but it is a role he embraces. After everything he has been through, Hatfield knows he is a different man than he was a few years ago. He also sees positive changes within the team. “I just feel like this team grows year in, year out,” Hatfield explained. “From when I first got here, to my second and third years, to now, we’ve grown more together as a family. We got a lot better on the field, too. We were 5-7 when I first got here and now we have a chance to be Pac-12 champions.” Hatfield says that he owes a lot to his mother, Meka Stokes. “She is probably one of the hardest working women I know,” Hatfield said, explaining that while he was growing up she was always working longer shifts so that he and his brothers could have a better life. “She’s the one who got me to where I am today.” Hatfield is hoping his mom can make it out to Salt Lake City for one of his final games at Rice-Eccles Stadium. “Man, I know there will never be a dull crowd
at Rice-Eccles,” he said. “It is probably one of the most exciting stadiums, consistently. I see other team’s stadiums, and when they play big teams the stadium is packed and loud. But even when we play smaller schools or smaller opponents here, our stadium is packed. Our fans are loud. It is great to play there every year.” Hatfield unfortunately had to miss the first three games this season due to an injury. He was able to return to the Rice-Eccles Stadium turf to play the USC Trojans with the Utes coming out on top, 31-27. He had five tackles and a pass breakup during the game. “I was like a little kid in a candy store,” Hatfield recalled of his emotions when he first got to play this season. “It was exciting. When I first got hurt, I thought it was a season-ending injury. But when I got the MRIs back, it was good news and I went to work. I just kept on believing. USC was my first game, so I got the same feeling everyone else did their first game. That was my home opener. It was great. There were butterflies and stuff like that. It was fun.” The Arizona game was another one Hatfield was excited about. In all of his years at Utah, he had never beaten the Wildcats. This year, the Utes rallied for a
36-23 win. Hatfield said that he gave it 110 percent that night, just as he does for every game. When asked what sets him apart from other Pac12 corners, Hatfield explained it is his ability to talk the talk and then back it up. “My confidence is really high and I have a swagger most players don’t possess,” Hatfield elaborated. In the locker room before games, Hatfield blasts music to get himself pumped up. His energy level gets so high that you can often see him dancing around during warm-ups. When he isn’t on the field, Hatfield enjoys rapping as well as writing to help clear his mind. Hatfield says he is in the process of writing a book, and hopes to one day write a play. But first, he is going to take a shot at the NFL, even though he knows the odds of making it in the league aren’t very high. When it comes to his future writing projects, perhaps Hatfield can weave in a few elements of his own life: big dreams, hard work leading to opportunity, the rise and fall of the main character, life lessons learned, and newfound friends aiding the comeback. It will be up to Hatfield to decide where the story goes from here.

(continued from page 24) process with them,” Asiata explained. Changing with the game and maturing has been crucial for Asiata’s success. Working hard and pushing himself to be the best he could be isn’t something Asiata would only relate to football. Rather, he likes to think football is something that shapes who he is as an overall person. During his time with the Utah football program, he has been pushed to grow up and face changes throughout the years. “I think all the change was for the better. It is weird how this program shapes you into the person that you have always wanted to be but never thought you could be,” Asiata said. “When adversity hits, embrace it. A lot of people fold when they face tough times, change, or when things are difficult, because it is easy to throw in the towel. It was never an option to give up while being a part of this program, so I learned to fight through adversity, become a better person and grow.” Maturing and having the feeling of family around him has helped Asiata continue to prosper as a player and a person. Asiata’s biggest supporters include his wife Angelina, and his family, friends and teammates. Everyone plays a part in his success, and

he believes that he wouldn’t have made it this far without their love and support through the ups and the downs. “My wife, family, friends, and teammates motivate me to go out each week and compete.

Perhaps we are too close to the stadium.
University Guest House is the only on-campus hotel and just minutes from the stadium. So why not skip the postgame traffic and make game day an all-nighter?

EVANS AND REDDISH AWARD WINNERS / / / / / /
Occie Evans Award – Lindsey Luke
G
Former women’s soccer player Lindsey Luke (center) was presented with the 2015-16 Occie Evans award at the Arizona game on Oct. 8.
oalkeeper Lindsey Luke of the women’s soccer program earned the 2015-16 Occie Evans Award, honoring Utah’s top senior female athlete in a team sport. No Utah women’s soccer player has earned more accolades from the Pac-12 than Luke. She was named the Pac-12 Goalkeeper of the Week seven times during her career, setting a program record. An All-Pac-12 performer and NSCAA All-Region selection, Luke set the single-season shutout mark with nine during her sophomore season in 2013 as Utah advanced to the NCAA Tournament. She had 25 shutouts in her career. Luke also finished six saves shy of setting a new career record for Utah goalkeepers and her 367 stops placed her eighth among all current Division I goalkeepers at the end of her career. In 2015, she ranked second in the Pac-12 with 4.55 saves per contest. Last January, Luke was selected in the fourth round of the 2016 National Women’s Soccer League College Draft by the Seattle Reign.
Don Reddish Award – Bill Kinneberg
U
tah baseball head coach Bill Kinneberg, who led Utah to the 2016 Pac-12 championship, was the recipient of the 2015-16 Don Reddish Award. The award is presented annually to the coach of a sport other than football, men’s and women’s basketball and gymnastics who is deemed to have had the most successful season. The 2016 Pac-12 Coach of the Year, Kinneberg led Utah to a 19-11 league record as baseball became the first men’s team to win a Pac-12 title since the Utes joined the conference in 2011-12. The Utes set a team record for victories in Pac-12 play and won eight of its 10 conference series. Utah earned its second NCAA Regional berth in the last eight years and defeated host Ole Miss in the opening game. Four Utes were named to the All-Pac-12 first team. Kinneberg is entering his 14th season at Utah and has won 300 games with the Utes. He has had seven players drafted in the first 10 rounds out of Utah, most notably two-time All-American C.J. Cron (201011), who recently completed his third season with the Los Angeles Angels.

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL PREVIEW / / / / / /
Senior Paige Crozon ranked 16th in the Pac-12 in scoring and eighth in rebounds in 2015-16.
JUST THE START OF THINGS
Utah women’s basketball not satisfied with impressive inaugural campaign under head coach Lynne Roberts as its points to 2016-17. By Mike DeVine and Mike Lageschulte Utah Athletics Communications
A
n outside observer might think that an 18win season and making the third round of the WNIT in Lynne Roberts’ first year of rebuilding the Utah women’s basketball program would be cause for celebration. That is not the case, however. “Complacency is the devil” is a phrase often used by Roberts and that mantra applies to every facet of the program. After previously orchestrating
turnaround projects at Chico State and Pacific, Roberts knows last year was just the start of things. “We’re still in the beginning stages of rebuilding this program to where we see it going,” Roberts pointed out. “The process of creating a championship program is never really over because once you get to where you expect to win, then the process becomes about not getting complacent; and I don’t think we’re to that point yet. In a lot of ways, we’re still in the infancy stages. We’re still learning, developing and growing. I’m confident in how hard the players are working, so I’m confident we’re going to have a strong year. I know for sure that we’re heading in the right direction and I am really proud of our players.” After being hired in April of 2015, Roberts was forced to prioritize putting together her staff and getting up to speed on recruiting rather than being able to really focus on player development. This past offseason, there has been more of an opportunity for the coaches to spend more time developing the program’s returning players, and benefits are already evident. “This is the third program I’ve taken over, and I’ve learned that you have to learn and absorb as
much as you can about your team that first year. As you enter your second year, you have to develop a higher level of commitment and a stronger work ethic with the players you have coming back. You also need to bring in new players that can help elevate your program. This was our first real offseason, and I think it will lay the groundwork for what we are going to do moving forward.” Utah welcomes back four returning starters in 2016-17, losing only point guard Danielle Rodriguez. However, Rodriguez’s loss is significant. “You don’t replace your program’s four-year starting point guard and the player who was the identity of the team in the public’s eye easily. But all of our returners had tremendous off seasons and are ready to lead. It’s nice to have four starters back who all had really solid years last season. Three of them are juniors now and one is a senior. We just have to stay healthy.” Headlining the returning group is junior center Emily Potter, who was a Pac-12 All-Conference Team selection by both the coaches and media in 2015-16. She also earned honorable mention for the AllDefensive Team and All-Academic Team after ranking ninth in the Pac-12 in scoring (15.1 ppg), third in rebounds (10.2 rpg) and second in blocked shots (2.5 bpg), leading the team in all three categories. She was third in the conference with 17 double-doubles. “What’s fun about Potter is that she’s as motivated as any player I’ve ever been around,” Roberts said. “She can also get a lot better and that’s exciting to think about. She knows that and she wants that, but she’s already pretty dang good.” Potter gained some valuable experience over the summer by spending time the Canadian Developmental Team training with Team Canada for their lead-up to the Rio Olympics. “She got a ton of experience and exposure at that level of play, which was really good. It was a great experience for her to gain an understanding of the level of commitment and sacrifice it takes to be elite,” Roberts explained. In Roberts’ eyes, the sky’s the limit for Potter. “If I go down the list, I think she’s in the discussion for the best center in the conference, and that’s saying something. Kristine Aniguwe at Cal is a fantastic player and Erica McCall at Stanford is extremely good. Those are going to be two future WNBA players, and Potter is right there.” Senior wing Paige Crozon is one of Utah’s most complete players as evidenced by her 11 doubledoubles in 2015-16. She is a two-time Pac-12 AllAcademic honoree and earned Pac-12 All-Conference Honorable Mention last season. She ranked 16th in the Pac-12 in scoring (13.1 ppg), eighth in rebounds (8.2 2016 UTAH FOOTBALL
49
WOMEN’S BASKETBALL PREVIEW / / / / / / rpg), ninth in 3-point percentage (36.6) and second in free throw percentage (85.8) a year ago. “When you compare her to other forwards in the conference, I’d take Paige any day of the week,” Roberts praised. “She is versatile with the ability to shoot the 3, put the ball on the floor and post up. Physically, she is as strong and as tough of a kid that you could ever be around. She is so tough physically. I wouldn’t want to guard her, I really wouldn’t. I don’t’ think she’s peaked and she’s tremendously motivated for this senior season.” Junior wing Malia Nawahine earned Pac-12 All-Academic Honorable Mention in 2015-16 after averaging 9.1 points and 3.4 rebounds per game. The Springville, Utah, native scored in double-figures 13 times, highlighted by a career-high 20 points in the Utes’ road win over Cal. “Malia really worked on being able to come off screens and knock down 3s during the offseason,” Roberts explained. “We didn’t really have anyone last year who could do that. She also worked on her ball handling and looks really good physically.” Tayaeya Boclair, a junior wing from San Antonio, received Pac-12 All-Academic Honorable Mention after starting all 33 games a year ago. Boclair averaged 7.3 points and 4.8 rebounds per game. She was also third on the team with 2.0 assists per contest while playing 27.8 minutes per game. “The next step for ‘Tay’ is to become someone who can shoot above 30 percent from 3-point territory. She has put a lot of time into that as well as her ball handling, and she has become more vocal.” Sophomore 6-1 wing Daneesha Provo, a transfer from Clemson, will make her muchanticipated Utah debut this season. “Daneesha is a great perimeter player who is multi-dimensional. She’s going to enable us to defend a little bit differently than we did last year because she’s just so athletic and long with great anticipation. She can slash to the hoop and shoot it too,” Roberts said. Another first-year player is 5-10 junior wing Tilar Clark, a prolific scorer who earned junior college All-America honors last season at Salt Lake Community College. “She’s a really scrappy and feisty player, and a good athlete who can run all day,” Roberts evaluated. “She’s can shoot and slash, has a nice jumper, and is a tenacious defender.” True freshman Megan Jacobs, a 6-1 wing from Las Vegas, is also expected to contribute. “I’ve known Megan a long time,” Roberts said. “She’s very versatile, can shoot the 3, and has great vision. She’s learning how fast things go, but physically she’s ahead of the game by a mile in terms of her strength and fitness for a freshman.” 50
2016 UTAH FOOTBALL
Junior center Emily Potter was a Pac-12 All-Conference Team selection by both the coaches and media last season. Providing depth on the interior behind Potter will be juniors Wendy Anae and Joeseta Fatuesi. Anae, who is 6-3 and springy, will provide a physical and athletic presence after sitting out the 2015-16 season with an injury. Fatuesi is a strong and powerful player who has a unique passing skill set, and will pose a difficult matchup for opponents. “Wendy has made a living off of broken plays because she goes so hard,” Roberts said. “She’ll come down with a big offensive board, get a put-back, or hustle for a loose ball. She’s gotten a lot more skilled over the last year and she can shoot the 3 consistently. I think she’s going to be a big factor in our depth that we really needed last year.” “Joeseta had a tremendous offseason,” Roberts revealed. “She really worked hard and attacked her fitness and endurance. We want to run more, and if she continues on the path she’s on she’ll be able to play more minutes and be able to defend on the perimeter a little bit.” In the back court, sophomore Erika Bean and freshman Kiana Moore will take over at the point. Bean appeared in all 33 games last season when she
averaged 1.7 points and 1.1 assists per contest. She had a career-high eight assists in Utah’s win at No. 21 California. Moore was listed as the No. 8 player in the Northern California by NorCalPreps.com and was an all-Soloano Country Athletic Conference Co-MVP at Vanden High School in Fairfield, Calif. “Bean’s a steady kid and very consistent. She’s been a good facilitator, but now the next step is to be more of a scoring threat,” Roberts evaluated. “I know she put a lot of time in over the summer on her outside shot and her teammates have a lot of confidence in her.” “Kiana is the quickest, most explosive athlete on the team,” Roberts said. “She brings a feisty competitiveness that you can see and feel. She’s still learning, but she’s very talented and I expect her to contribute this year.” Sitting out this season is Hawai’i transfer Megan Huff. “She’s an athletic 6-3 player with a great feel around the rim. This year is going to be huge for her to acclimate strength-wise to the Pac-12 and continue to work on her skills. She’ll be a good player for us in the future, for sure.” Roberts can lean on a year of experience in the Pac-12, arguably the nation’s toughest conference, for guidance in her effort to restore Utah women’s basketball back to national prominence. “I always knew the Pac-12 was good, but now I know that it is better than I thought,” Roberts confided. “It’s really, really good. The players that you’re playing against night in and night out are the ones who are going to get drafted into the WNBA. The coaching is excellent, too. You’re not going to sneak up on anyone. There are no trick plays. As I look at the championship teams in the Pac-12 over the last few years, and after I’ve lived through a season, you can just see that those teams don’t beat themselves. That’s the goal. We have to get to that point.” The Utes know they will not be making their push alone, especially at home in the Huntsman Center. “The support from the community is huge,” Roberts said. “Our attendance increased 38 percent last year, which is quite significant for one year and I’m proud of that. We want to keep that trajectory. Like I always say, complacency is the devil to me. The bottom line is that people want to come and watch a fun style of play and they want to watch a winning team. We’re heading in the right direction as a team, and there’s a lot of good stuff being done from a departmental standpoint for the promotion of our program that I know will pay off.” Utah hosts an exhibition game against the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology on Nov. 3 at 11 a.m. The regular season starts against Montana State in the Jon M. Huntsman Center on Nov. 12 at 2 p.m.

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.
