Nothing excites a football team like winning in double overtime in a hostile road environment.
Except, perhaps, new helmets.
As you'll see in the above video, the hooting and hollering at Saturday's black helmet unveil rivals that from the visitor's locker room after Thursday night's win against Oregon State.
Utah's old matte black helmets featured a smaller drum and feather sticker, available in red or white, while the latest version is much larger, two-toned and chrome.
(In case you're worried that Utah's leading rusher appears a bit less a physical marvel than he did in rushing for 229 yards Thursday, that looks to be assistant director of player personnel Pablo Cano modeling the Devontae Booker ensemble.)
Better than the white helmet? Let us know in comments when your rapture dies down.
