Ute Insiders: Runnin’ Utes head to Las Vegas with some confidence and spring camp continues

It was another disappointing road trip for the Runnin’ Utes, who lost two games in the Bay Area and finished winless away from home in Pac-12 play. On the bright side, football is already back for its annual spring fling. There are a lot of holes to fill on the defensive side, and a starting quarterback position up for grabs. Former Utah football star Steve Tate joins Ute Insiders Dirk Facer, Mike Sorensen and Jody Genessy to discuss the basketball struggles, to dissect the Pac-12 Tournament seedings, to chat spring football, and to share the message of The HayesTough Foundation.

It was a mixed bag for the Utes last week, falling to UCLA and knocking off USC.

The duo also talks NFL Scouting Combine, where nine Utes will be showcasing their football wares this week in Indianapolis, and NFL mock drafts. That and more on this week’s episode.
