SALT LAKE CITY, Utah – Football is back!

As the countdown begins to tonight’s University of Utah vs. Weber State game, Casey Scott mixed it up with the Mighty Utah Student Section as they prepared for the first tailgate party of the season — and he almost got away with wearing a blue shirt.

It may have been early, but the MUSS made being a morning person look easy. Especially if you follow their Twitter account:

Had a great time with @KSL5TV and @UtahPigBus this morning! Who said you can’t have @TraegerGrills BBQ for breakfast?? GET UP UTES IT’S GAMEDAY!!!! 🙌🏽 pic.twitter.com/iMoCsKZJ92

We got a taste of some of the cheers the MUSS will be shouting as the Utes take on the Wildcats, including the Utah Swing.

The students were joined by Chad from Traeger Grills and Ryan with the Utes Pig Bus, who cooked up a batch of tailgating treats for the students.

“I know college students’ favorite food is free food,” Casey said.

Take a look at these sliders!

Good morning! It’s GAMEDAY @UUtah and @weberstate!!! We’re already rocking on @KSL5TV. #KSLTV https://t.co/kvCqM5Fbm9

Spirits were high, the food looked delicious, and it appeared Casey might have just gotten away with that tiny fashion faux pas.

In the studio, though, Andrew Wittenberg made sure to call him out.

“What in the world is with your wardrobe choice up at the U today, wearing the blue?”

Casey confessed: “I’m an Aggie”

Kickoff is at 6 p.m. at the Rice-Eccles Stadium.
