Utah coach Kyle Whittingham fielded several calls today on the MWC teleconference about how Matt Asiata's season-ending injury will affect the Utes' offense. He said he same thing he has said since Saturday after the game, so at least he is consistent. He reiterated he expects Eddie Wide to handle most of the work and doesn't anticipate changing much, although he did say there might be a few more plays to the outside which fit Wide's style of running better.
He also said the "Asiata package," will remain in the team's plans.
"I guess we need to come up with a new name for it," he said.
The Utes return to practice today after taking yesterday off. Whittingham noted that the bye is perfect timing between the injuries, the break in the schedule between non-conference games and conference games. This week is about the halfway mark through the whole season too if you count fall camp, which he does.
"In a lot of respects it's timely for us," he said.
The biggest work for the defense, he said, is improvement from the corners on the fade route. "We still have to do a better job there," he said.
Utah's men's basketball team will be practicing Wednesday and Thursday from about 1:15-2:15 p.m. if you are interested in catching them in action. All practices are open to the public.
Boylen's crew could be in for a windy afternoon, they're all headed up to Snowbird to take photos for the media guide, schedule card and team poster.
