Coach Expects Solid Academic Results
The Utes are all but finished with their final exams, and for the second straight season, coach Jim Boylen is not expecting any midseason academic casualties.

"We don't have that problem here, thank God," he said. "I'm expecting another real positive semester in school. My guys have been very respectful and attentive to [the] pressure I put on them in school. My guys go to class. My guys study. Obviously, everybody needs a kick in the butt once in a while, and I try to pick the right times to do that in school."

Boylen said the travel schedule the past few weeks, as well as his regular practice and workout demands, has made classwork challenging -- especially for the five freshmen still adjusting to college. Still, all of his players have handled their coursework well.

"I expect a solid, solid semester," he said.
