Utes Working Hard to be Ready for Ducks
Don't look now, but it feels like the Utes are back in Australia again.
Just like when they practiced twice a day and even before games during their summertime exhibition tour, the Utes have been getting in plenty of extra work before today's challenge against No. 19 Oregon at the Rose Garden.
Director of operations Jonathan Dykema reports that the Utes arrived even a little earlier than expected yesterday -- they had been scheduled to work out before leaving -- and went through an hour-long workout at the arena in the evening. They were back there again this morning, Dykema said, going through another 60 minutes of preparation.
So, they shouldn't lack for understanding of the game plan.
Meanwhile, the Ducks are bracing for what they expect to be a serious challenge posed by center Luke Nevill and the Utes' size, and coach Ernie Kent compared the Utes favorably to Pac-10 powers Washington State and Stanford.
The Ducks, by the way, are favored by 11 1/2 points.
