Our new Game of Throws podcast: There might be some positives in a disappointing Utah season, but will Troy Taylor be around to enjoy them next year?

Scott Sommerdorf | The Salt Lake Tribune New offensive coordinator Troy Taylor poses for a portrait after Utah football practice, Thursday, March 9, 2017.


Turnovers doomed the Utes in last weekend’s loss to Luke Falk and the Washington State Cougars. But if you “really try hard, and wish and hope” can you find enough positives and, possibly, a path for Utah to still save its season?

On this week’s episode of Game of Throws, the Tribune’s Utah football podcast, we try — but it isn’t easy.

At 1:30 — We sort through the rubble in search of bright spots, which might include a 300-yard passing game despite Darren Carrington’s absence against a tough Wazzu defense.

At 6:30 — Trib columnist Kurt Kragthorpe believes bowl eligibility will ease the pain on the hill despite an overall disappointing season. Is he right?

At 11:15 — Offensive coordinator Troy Taylor has acknowledged the struggles of his first season and thinks Tyler Huntley still has lots of potential to improve. Will the OC be around to help Huntley develop next year?

At 15:25 — Don’t kid yourself: There won’t be anything easy about taking on Washington in Seattle. The worst part? The Huskies are going to be angry after a loss to Stanford.
