There is no color theme for fans this week like there was against Florida and UCLA.
Although the Utes will be wearing black, the Dark Mode game will not be this week.
You can’t go wrong with red if you’re going to watch Utah host the Golden Bears!
Saturday’s game marks the annual celebration of the special relationship that the @UUtah and its athletics programs have shared with the Ute Indian Tribe since 1972, with the Ute Proud game. π#GoUtes | @Utah_Football https://t.co/Kmrm3KC7if

Utes’ Defense Stands Strong Through Offensive Adversity
Utah football has faced unexpected adversity in 2023 due to an onslaught of injuries, but the defense is determined to stick with their offensive brothers to get through it.
Injuries have been a menace for the Utes and isn’t showing signs of stopping anytime soon. The results have been particularly brutal for the offense, who on paper looked really good before the season started but are limping along more than expected.
In Utah’s back-to-back Pac-12 Title years, it felt like the offense more often than not bailed out a young defense that was still learning. Now that the tables have turned, two defensive leaders weighed in on making sure they do their part to get the team through a frustrating situation.
“It’s a team game,” Bishop responded. “There are games we give up a lot of points, there are games we don’t score a lot of points. Injuries-wise, we have a lot of guys getting hurt and we spend every day all year together, so it’s just having the bond to trust each other and trust that everyone is trying to get back as quick as they can.”
Last minute update – we are wearing red pants instead β«οΈβ«οΈπ΄ https://t.co/9TGJOrD8nB

Chris Curry Suffers Season-Ending Injury For Second Straight Year
The hits keep coming for Utah football after head coach Kyle Whittingham announced running back Chris Curry suffered his second season-ending injury in a row.
Running back looked to be a position of strength for the Utes heading into 2023, but they have quickly been crippled with various injuries and ailments.
Curry is the second player in the group to be ruled out for the year behind Micah Bernard, and third overall for Utah football along with defensive end Logan Fano.
