Having a new Offensive Coordinator will certainly make it more difficult for us to game plan around as we won't be sure exactly what to expect, but definitely sounds like it will be a more open offense than in the past.  We have historically been pretty good against the run, we would have preferred you stuck to run, run, run  

[UofUUtes]

Here's an interesting breakdown of the EWU offense last year. I'd expect to see a lot of the same ideas being present in Utah's offense

Similar offense, only with inferior athletes.

Looks like Junior Center Lo Falamaka left practice yesterday with an injury. Not sure how serious, but it will be another player to watch along with their safety, leading up to the first game.

You probably won't hear anything more about it unless he is out for the season. If he is going to play, he will just show back up to practice. Utah doesn't talk injuries unless they are season ending.

Well folks...I took the plunge and bought tickets for the opener out in Salt Lake!  I can't wait for the road trip from North Dakota to SLC!  I'm not sure what to expect from the tailgating scene in Utah...but hasn't anyone heard if there will be any kind of pre-game meetup out there?

Like I was saying...time is going to drag on agonizingly slow until game week!  Hopefully the Hawks can do enough to give themselves a chance!

UND needs to be competitive and attempt to win this game. It would be a program-changing win. With those kind of stakes, you need to go all out. See NDSU vs Kansas State in 2013.

There are rumors swirling that he should be able to play Game 1 barring any setbacks. Also, there is positive news regarding the safety that had surgery recently. I still anticipate him to not play Game 1.

Just some more information on our Craft beers:'

Red Rock Brewing

Red Rock Brewing Company started in 1994 in Salt Lake City, and has successfully made a name for itself in both the local and national craft beer scene. The brewery produces both draft beers, which by Utah law must be below 4% Alcohol By Volume, and bottled beers, which can exceed that ABV limit. But each brew is carefully crafted, offering unique, full-bodied flavor. Customers can buy the bottled beers at Utah State liquor stores, draft beers at a number of local bars and pubs, or visit one of Red Rock’s four restaurant locations for excellent food, alongside their perfectly crafted beverage.

Various locations, UT, USA

Uinta Brewing

A company giving a nod to local landscape and legend is Uinta Brewing Company. For over 20 years now, this brewing company has been making its way into Utah beer-lovers’ hearts. Named after the Uinta National Forest in north central Utah, all of the brand’s beers also bear names that are borrowed from the state’s wild, rugged terrain. One of their most popular is the Cutthroat Pale Ale, named after Utah’s state fish. The Yard Sale winter lager is a playful name for an epic skiing tumble. Uinta also is exemplary for its sustainable business practices, as it is the first 100 per cent wind-powered business in the state.

Desert Edge Brewery

To enjoy the crafted microbrews from the next place on our list, you’ll have to visit their micropub, located in a charming historic trolley garage. Their beers are only served on tap, never bottled, and the food is award-winning. Desert Edge Brewery has been part of the Salt Lake Dining scene for over 30 years as a casual place to enjoy great, in-house crafted beers, and made-from-scratch food that is innovative and fresh. As another brewhouse to use a play on words and local culture for zippy branding, Desert Edge has popular drafts such as the Happy Valley Hefeweizen, and the Latter Day Stout.

Bohemian Brewery

Bohemian Brewery creates European-style lagers. Using time-tested techniques, and the highest quality ingredients, the brewers make what they call the “Old School Brew.” The company has a wide selection of both draft beers and bottled beers, available at local bars and pubs, and at state liquor stores. All are made from traditional recipes, with attention to the art and time it takes to craft the perfect lager. The result is a line of beers that offers something for everyone, from a light, sweet, hefeweizen, to a caramel altbier, and dark and full-flavored bock. Pay a visit to their restaurant to enjoy a selection of classic European fare, perfectly paired with a fresh brew.

Epic Brewing Company

Epic Brewing Company has been around for a little over a decade. Aptly named, the brewery creates strong beers, bottled with an ABV that soars over the 4% limit of drafts. The creators of these high-octane brews are unapologetic foodies, adventurers, and beer-lovers that are taking microbrews to the next level. Epic has three different lines of beers: classic, elevated, and exponential. All of them pack a punch, and are carefully crafted for the perfect balance and flavor. For enthusiasts and connoisseurs, sampling a few brews from Epic is a must, but be careful, the expert brewing makes them easy to drink, but the high alcohol content can sneak up on you.

Epic Brewing Co, 825 State St, Salt Lake City, UT, USA, +1 801-906-0123

Squatters

 In the last 25 years, Squatters has become an integral part of Salt Lake City’s downtown restaurant scene. The company is dedicated to what it calls its “Triple Bottom Line: People, Planet, Profit.” Engaging with local nonprofits, sustainable energy and transportation organizations, and movements to improve Utah’s industry, Squatters is a respected member of the community. At its core, the microbrewery makes honest, passion-filled good beers that have been garnering awards for decades. The Chasing Tail golden ale, the Full Suspension pale ale, and the Hop Rising double IPA are some of their most popular brews.

Also you'd be surprised but lots of Greeks in Utah:

Aristo's is walking distance from the Stadium.  Great food, though you will need a reservation.  Luckily, you can make those reservations onilne.

The Other Place used to be a well kept secret, but the word is out with instant media.  Awesome omelettes ( I suggest the Gyro omelette) and other breakfasts.

Trends were that he was being beaten out for the starting spot. Will be more influential deeper into the season

You can't get 5% in grocery stores, but you can at the state run liquor stores. Check https://abc.utah.gov/stores/ for the closest to your hotel
