Football Notes
Cal Bears Next for Utes at Rice-Eccles Stadium Utah leads the Pac-12 in 11 statistical categories, rank top five in the nation in two areas
the Pac-12 and rank top-five in the nation. Utah leads the Pac-12 in first downs defense and third down defense. Utah ranks sixth in the FBS and first in the Pac-12 in time of possession (33:34). Home Field Advantage The Utes have five undefeated home seasons under Whittingham (2022, 6-0; 2021, 6-0; 2019, 7-0; 2009, 6-0; 2008, 6-0) with the Utes winning 27 of their last 28 home games, including a streak of 17 in a row (Dec. 5, 2020-present). It is the second-longest streak in the Whittingham era with the longest streak taking place Sept. 15, 2007 to Oct. 23, 2010 (21 games). Utah has sold out Rice-Eccles Stadium in 79 consecutive games, dating back to the 2010 season opener. Up front, defensive tackle Jonah Elliss has made 7.5 sacks to lead Power Five football. Midseason awards are beginning to trickle in, and offensive lineman Spencer Fano was tabbed to On3’s Midseason True Freshman All-American Team. Standout Players
It’s game week once again in Salt Lake City as the Utah football team is back inside Rice- Eccles Stadium for the first time since late September. It’ll be a 1 p.m. showdown on Saturday (October 14) vs. California, with the forecast calling for a sunny fall afternoon along the Wasatch Front. Utah is coming out of its bye week looking to avenge a September 29 loss at Oregon State. Injuries have presented the team with its fair share of challenges this season, but head coach Kyle Whittingham praised how his group has pressed forward while approaching the halfway point of the year. “I think (the players have) done a nice job handling adversity because we have had some tough spots through the
season and they have had a great attitude and mentality toward that,” he said. “They have stuck together through that. We have played better on defense than we have on offense, but there has been absolutely no finger pointing. They have done a nice job of staying unified.” Through five games in 2023, Utah leads the Pac-12 in 11 different statistical categories. Utah is only allowing 67.0 Statistics rushing yards per game, ranking third in the FBS. The Utes have only committed three turnovers this season, which is tied for fourth in the FBS. Among the highlights through five games has been the lock-down effort of the Utah defense, which is allowing just 11.8 points per game to lead

UTE PROUD STORY
Ute Alumni Organize Football Camp and Mental Health Clinic for Ute Tribe
Former Utah football punter Hank Mondaca worked over the summer to give being “Ute Proud” a much richer meaning with the help of his charitable organization, Athletes For Life, and a band of former Ute student-athletes. Mondaca was joined by former Utah football stars Dave Cullity, Jeff Reyes, Steve F. Hallsey, Gene Knickrehm, Erroll Tucker, Lance Wingert, Bob Ashley, Jackson Barton, Cody Barton and Utah gymnastics legend Lisa Mitzel. The group took their talents on and off the competitive field to the Uintah-Ouray Reservation to put on a football camp and mental health clinic for the Ute Tribe that resides there.

Student-Athlete Q&A Distance Runner Morgan Jensen
Why did you decide to attend the U? “I wanted to stay close to home and the mountains. Then as I started to look at Utah, I really liked the head coach and the culture. The program just really had a good feel to it. And I knew that even if the team didn’t qualify for nationals that I would definitely get better and max out my potential because I really liked their training program.”
What has been your favorite cross country race? “The Pac-12 Championships last year. We almost won! (The Utes scored the same number of points as Colorado but lost the tie- breaker). For me, I had been dealing with some medical issues and then I was finally healthy for that race. All the hard work I had put in to get back and be ready showed up. The weather was really nice and it was a perfect day.” What has it meant for you to be a scholarship student- athlete? “It would have been impossible for me to do this without a scholarship. It has allowed me to focus on school and running and not have to worry about working in order to cover everything. I’ve been able to focus and not have conflicts. I know my teammates have really benefited as well and it has created a great opportunity for all of us to be a really successful team.”
Beyond your degree, how has being a student-athlete prepared you for the rest of your life? “Coach Kep is very direct with us about how of being successful in the sport and out of the sport are connected. Being a successful student-athlete, especially in a sport like cross country, really sets us up for success after we graduate. Because of all the running we have to do from fall into the spring, we really don’t have an offseason. We have to be very organized and self-disciplined, and on top of things. I think that helps all us be better students. We also learn how to be part of team and work together. It gets us on a great path.” What are your goals for the rest of this year? “In cross country, I would like to climb into a position where I could be an All- American at nationals. I think our team could place well there and be a top-10 team. I know we can do it. In track, I love the 10K. That’s my baby. It would be amazing if I could take next step in that event, make nationals and place high in the 10K as well.”
What were your expectations for your college career?
“I started out during the COVID-19 year so it was hard to get a feel for how good I could be. So, at first, I didn’t really know what to expect and I just wanted to be on the travel team for meets. Then I ended up being the second-best runner on the team behind Popi Tank in 2020. Then we had some other really good runners come into the program that moved me back a little bit. But I still feel like I’ve been really able to contribute.

Four Generations of Fandom From an antiques auction to ESPN fame, this group of tailgaters has kept the flames of U football fandom burning bright
In the early ’70s, a tradition started to take root as three Utah couples began gathering before each home U football game, delighting in the chance to revel in the company of friends, all while cheering on a less-than- stellar Utes squad.
“We started tailgating because we listened to [long-time radio disc jockey] Tom Barberi,” says Dave McDowell. “He would encourage everyone to go to the games and tailgate before—so we did.”
What began as a leisurely way to spend an afternoon became much more, says McDowell’s wife, Nickie. This was a lifestyle, a commitment to the joys of camaraderie and the thrill of the game. And in those early days, the cost of admission was

CRIMSON CLUB MAGAZINE OCTOBER 2023
nominal: game tickets were just a couple of dollars at the local grocery stores, and a tailgate spot was yours for a buck. “There were no reserved spaces, no assigned parking, no pretenses,” notes Nickie McDowell. And after you entered the uncrowded stadium, you watched the game from wherever you could find a spot. In the mid-’80s, one of the original group of tailgaters, Marlene Skillings, saw that an antique fire truck was on the auction block in Armour, South Dakota. After consulting with the group, by then expanded to nine couples, she wrote a check for $825. She and her husband, Jim, drove the truck—which had bad brakes, balding tires, and a front hood that kept flying up—from South Dakota back to Utah. It took three days.
“It didn’t have windshield wipers, and it started to rain,” says Skillings. “We could only find one replacement, so there we were, driving down the road going the top speed of 40 miles per hour in the pouring rain with a single wiper.” The Ute Fire Engine Group was launched soon after it arrived in Utah. The official name is now the Fire Engine Historic Preservation Association. The group’s children began tailgating with the founding couples, then grandchildren started participating. Today, an occasional great grand baby will make an appearance. It is indeed four generations of friendship, fun, and football—fortunately with a more successful athletic program, says Dave McDowell.
The crimson-and-chrome truck is now a star in the pre- game lot. It’s even been invited to multiple parades and been featured on ESPN College GameDay. Fans flock to capture a moment with the beloved truck, and kids love setting off the siren, while others bask in its thrilling wail as the truck makes its grand entrance, announcing the start of another unforgettable evening of solidarity and, hopefully, victory. This article appeared in the Fall 2023 issue of University of Utah Magazine. Special thanks to Angie Matinkhah, who has been a member of the tailgating group since 2016, for her assistance with this article.
