    Dec 3 2025

  • UH OH: Utah WILL MISS CFP | Should Utes be in with BYU over Alabama, Notre Dame, Miami Hurricanes?

    UH OH: Utah WILL MISS CFP | Should Utes be in with BYU over Alabama, Notre Dame, Miami Hurricanes?
    Dec 2 2025
    In this episode of "Locked On Utes," J.T. Wistrcill and Andrew Crowley dive into the Utah Utes' current position in the College Football Playoff rankings. There's a sobering consensus: Utah is likely on the outside looking in, despite a strong 10-win season and noteworthy improvement over last year's 5-7 record. The hosts discuss why Utah doesn't have the resume to edge out other teams—highlighting a lack of wins over currently ranked opponents, disappointing late-season defensive performances, and missed opportunities to impress the playoff committee. They then pivot to the looming offseason and Utah's strategy in the transfer portal. Andrew Crowley puts linebacker as his top priority, citing depth issues and inconsistency in stopping the run, while J.T. Wistrcill argues for tight end as a crucial need given the loss of Dallin Bentley and the lack of a true, versatile tight end on the roster. Both agree on additional needs at defensive tackle, wide receiver, offensive line, and potentially in the secondary. The conversation is honest about Utah’s development strengths but emphasizes that the transfer portal will be key for maintaining and elevating the program. The episode then shifts to Utah basketball, checking in on both men’s and women’s teams. The men’s squad, led by new coach Alex Jensen, is finding some momentum after a shaky start, but Big 12 play will bring real challenges. The women’s team boasts plenty of young talent, yet turnovers and inexperience have contributed to a rocky beginning—and the Big 12 will only ramp up the competition. They finish with a discussion around the Huntsman Center atmosphere and attendance, kicking around ideas to boost student engagement and game-day energy beyond just winning more.

  • CHAOS: Kalani Sitake Leaving BYU for Penn State would have MASSIVE Impact on Utah Utes, Big 12

    CHAOS: Kalani Sitake Leaving BYU for Penn State would have MASSIVE Impact on Utah Utes, Big 12
    Dec 1 2025
    In this episode of Locked On Utes, J.T. Wistrcill and Alex Napoles break down the swirling rumors around Kalani Sitake potentially leaving BYU for the Penn State head coaching job and explore the impact such a move would have on both BYU and their in-state rival, Utah. The hosts discuss the ripple effects on recruiting, particularly the possibility of top in-state talent flipping their commitments to Utah if BYU faces a coaching shake-up. They also reflect on the legacy of Kyle Whittingham at Utah, especially as his retirement begins to feel imminent. The conversation dives into the broader landscape of college football coaching changes, including comparisons to Lane Kiffin’s high-profile move and how loyalty still matters in an era of frequent coaching transitions. Other major topics include the Utah Utes’ College Football Playoff hopes, the outlook for next season, and how staff changes or player retention could shape the program’s future. The episode wraps by previewing the importance of Utah’s upcoming bowl game—potentially Whittingham’s last—and what fans should watch for in transfer portal news.
