Utah football has quickly become one of the biggest stories of the 2026 college football season. The Utes have put together an impressive undefeated start, establishing themselves as one of the top teams in the country and a serious contender for the Big 12 championship.
At 8-0 overall and 5-0 in conference play, Utah has continued to find ways to win. The Utes entered November ranked No. 3 nationally after an impressive 49-25 victory over Cincinnati. With every passing week, their chances of making a serious College Football Playoff run continue to grow.

A Balanced Team Built to Win
One of Utah's biggest strengths has been its ability to produce on both sides of the football. The offense has consistently put points on the scoreboard, while the defense has made life difficult for opposing teams.
Quarterback Devon Dampier has played a major role in the team's success. Against Cincinnati, he completed 22 of 29 passes for 260 yards and three touchdowns. His ability to make plays through the air and contribute with his legs gives the Utes an offense that can challenge opposing defenses in multiple ways.
Head coach Morgan Scalley also deserves plenty of credit. In his first season leading the program, he has kept Utah focused and performing at a high level through the opening eight games.

A Massive November Awaits
The biggest test of Utah's season is approaching. The Utes are preparing for a highly anticipated matchup against undefeated rival BYU on November 7. The game could have major implications for the Big 12 championship race and the national playoff picture.
Utah also has important conference games remaining against Arizona, TCU and West Virginia.
The Utes have already proven they belong among the nation's best, but November will determine just how special this season can become. With an undefeated record, a talented quarterback and a strong coaching staff, Utah has put itself in position to make a championship run.
