| BIG 12 SQUAD - The Brendan Sorsby Gambling SCANDAL | What this means for Utah | 30 Apr 2026 | 00:28:38 | |
Texas Tech faces a major setback as star quarterback Brendan Sorsby is caught in a gambling controversy, casting doubt on his Big 12 future. Will Sorsby suit up this season, or has Tech’s shot at a championship vanished overnight? The squad unpacks how over a thousand wagers—many placed during Sorsby’s stints at Indiana and Cincinnati—sparked a full-blown crisis, igniting questions about competitive integrity, NCAA regulations, and the future of sports betting in college football. The Big 12 Squad debates whether institutional oversight failed, how Texas Tech might fight to keep Sorsby eligible, and if precedent from cases like Iowa State’s Hunter Dekkers offers Tech hope. With questions swirling around legal action, compliance systems, and evolving NCAA rules, the crew asks: Will sports betting become the next normalized aspect of college sports, or are even tougher restrictions inevitable?

| REVEALED: Nebraska ISSUES give Utah MAJOR Advantge in Las Vegas Bowl | Morgan Scalley vs Matt Rhule | 30 Dec 2025 | 00:31:57 | |
In this Locked On Utes and Locked On Nebraska crossover, J.T. Wistrcill and Mitch Sherman break down the upcoming Las Vegas Bowl matchup between Utah and Nebraska. The conversation kicks off with each team’s current state—major transitions in coaching staffs, key transfer portal news, and player opt-outs that are set to impact the game.
The hosts dive deep into the strengths and weaknesses of each side, with Utah’s dominant run game facing off against a Nebraska defense that’s struggled to stop the ground attack. On the flip side, can Nebraska’s offense move the ball effectively without star running back Emmett Johnson? And will young quarterback TJ Lateef be ready to handle a complex and aggressive Morgan Scally defense? Special teams, coaching distractions, and bowl game motivation are all on the table as J.T. and Mitch give their honest assessments and score predictions for the matchup. If you’re a Utah or Nebraska fan—or just a college football enthusiast—this episode delivers everything you need to know before kickoff in Vegas.

Plus, J.T. Wister talks about BYU’s own shakeup, with defensive coordinator Jay Hill reportedly heading to Michigan as well, and what this means for BYU’s defense going forward. The conversation also covers possible staff changes, transfer portal implications, and which players might be on the move.

| BIG 12 SQUAD - Offseason Drama HEATING UP for Utah Utes | 18 Dec 2025 | 00:27:57 | |
Utah’s Kyle Whittingham emerges as a likely candidate to take over at Michigan, setting off one of the most unexpected coaching carousel moves in recent college football history. Can Whittingham’s approach and legacy translate to success in Ann Arbor, and would his staff follow him or remain tied to Morgan Scalley? The crew breaks down the drama, and questions abound over Michigan’s future roster, leadership, and the impact on Big 12 dynamics. BYU fans are fired up as Notre Dame is accused of dodging the Cougars in bowl matchups, sparking talk about underdog narratives and college football prestige. Deion Sanders’ transformative effect on Colorado—on and off the field—is spotlighted, alongside concerns about his longevity and succession plans with rising assistant Brennan Marion. Plus, the panel debates Texas high school football recruiting, scandals, and which coaches truly fit Michigan’s high-pressure program.

| CRUCIAL: Utah Utes NEED to CHANGE Transfer Portal Plan to CONTEND in Big 12 with BYU & Texas Tech | 18 Dec 2025 | 00:27:50 | |
In this episode of Locked On Utes, J.T. Wistrcill and Alex Napoles dive deep into the Utah Utes’ approach to the transfer portal as they look ahead to the 2026 season. They discuss the need for significant changes, especially focusing on adding experience and depth to both the offensive and defensive lines—a departure from the team’s traditional focus on skill positions. The conversation highlights key losses, such as all five starting offensive linemen and major contributors at defensive tackle, emphasizing the importance of bringing in battle-tested veterans. The hosts also give high praise to Utah’s GM, Robert Blecken, whose behind-the-scenes work in both recruiting and NIL deals is credited with keeping key players like Bird Ficklin in Salt Lake City. The hosts break down which position groups need portal upgrades, debate how many transfer additions Utah should aim for this offseason, and reflect on last year’s massive portal haul. Listeners get insights on possible recruits, the importance of strong mentorship for young players, and the real impact Utah’s program culture and professionalism have on attracting and retaining talent.

| CRAZY: Kyle Whittingham to Michigan MAKES SENSE if Kalen DeBoer STAYS at Alabama | Utah Utes Podcast | 15 Dec 2025 | 00:28:27 | |
In this episode of Locked On Utes, J.T. Wistrcill dives into the surprising potential fit of Kyle Whittingham as Michigan’s next head football coach. He breaks down why Whittingham could be a perfect one-year stabilizer for the Wolverines amidst their program turmoil, especially with the current coaching landscape and Michigan’s need for a steady hand. The conversation also touches on candidates like Kalen DeBoer and why Michigan might prefer a proven veteran as an interim solution.
J.T. Wister then shifts focus to the future of Utah football, celebrating Morgan Scalley’s official promotion to head coach. He explores Scalley’s deep ties to the program, his stellar defensive pedigree, and why he’s the right leader to continue Utah’s strong culture and on-field success.
Finally, the episode highlights Utah’s standout offensive lineman, Spencer Fano, who was named the Outland Trophy winner—an honor for the nation’s top interior lineman. The show wraps up discussing Utah’s omission from the Joe Moore Award for best offensive line, the unit’s dominance this season, and excitement for the program’s next chapter under Morgan Scalley.

| BIG 12 SQUAD - The Big 12's RIDICULOUS Schedule Exposed | What this means for Utah | 16 Apr 2026 | 00:29:27 | |
Big 12 football faces fan backlash as Texas Tech gets two Saturday games stripped, with a marquee matchup against Houston moved to Friday night. The Big 12 Squad debates the impact of weeknight games on local attendance, high school football culture, and the conference’s national exposure. Does this scheduling decision actually give Houston a major advantage, and why isn’t the Big 12 showcasing its top games on Saturdays like the SEC? The squad also explores massive shifts in college basketball: NIL deals and NBA draft prospects are reshaping Big 12 rosters as stars like Joseph Tugler and AJ Dybantsa weigh million-dollar decisions. Is college basketball’s calendar out of sync with the pros? Plus, Big 12 baseball’s heavyweights stumble while Kansas leads the standings—should athletic departments invest in sports beyond football and men’s basketball, or is NIL funding now changing the game for non-revenue sports forever?

| DISASTER: BYU REJECTED by CFP, Texas Tech’s Dominance, Coaching & Bowl Shakeup | Big 12 Squad | 11 Dec 2025 | 00:33:48 | |
The Big 12 Conference has been nothing short of a whirlwind over the past week, marked by a major championship, postseason selection drama, and a groundbreaking business announcement that reinforces its "New Look" identity. 1. Championship and CFP Breakthrough The week started with the Big 12 Championship Game where Texas Tech defeated BYU in a commanding fashion (34-7). This victory propelled the Red Raiders to a 12-1 record, securing the Big 12's automatic bid to the expanded College Football Playoff. The subsequent CFP rankings confirmed Texas Tech as the No. 4 seed, earning them a crucial first-round bye straight to the Orange Bowl Quarterfinal—a massive statement for the restructured league. 2. Bowl and Political Fallout While the Big 12 celebrated Tech's CFP inclusion and the bowl selections for seven other teams, drama erupted over the bubble. Commissioner Brett Yormark publicly backed the CFP committee's decision, despite BYU's exclusion, and notably criticized Notre Dame's Athletic Director for his "egregious" outrage over the Irish being left out. This positioned the Big 12 as a stable, unified partner in the new CFP ecosystem, contrasting sharply with the ACC's turmoil. Adding to the controversy, the conference levied $500,000 fines on Iowa State and Kansas State for opting to skip bowl games, underscoring the conference's commitment to fulfilling its postseason obligations. 3. NFL Partnership Announcement Perhaps the most significant long-term news was the conference's announcement of a strategic partnership with the NFL. This collaboration aims to align the two organizations on everything from officiating development and emerging technology to global growth initiatives. This unprecedented move further showcases the Big 12's innovative, business-forward approach under Yormark, establishing a distinct brand identity separate from the traditionalist SEC/Big Ten dynamic.

| UH OH: BYU CFP SNUB is TERRIBEL for Utah Utes | Did ESPN Big 12 DISRESPECT and SEC Bias go too far? | 11 Dec 2025 | 00:27:29 | |
In this episode of Locked On Utes, J.T. Wistrcill is joined by Dalton Wasserman of the PFF College Football Show to dive deep into Utah’s turbulent path to the College Football Playoff and the impact of the committee’s recent decision regarding BYU. The conversation kicks off with concerns about how non-SEC and non-Big Ten teams like Utah and BYU are being evaluated, highlighting the challenges the Big 12 and ACC face in gaining respect and fair rankings. The hosts discuss ESPN’s lack of coverage for BYU, the seemingly inconsistent criteria used by the playoff selection committee, and the possible need for more transparency or changes to the playoff format. Looking ahead, J.T. Wistrcill and Dalton Wasserman break down Utah’s Las Vegas Bowl matchup against Nebraska, analyzing key players to watch and the likelihood of opt-outs for NFL prospects. They also react to the recent trend of teams opting out of bowl games, strongly advocating for Utah’s decision to play and urging underclassmen to seize the opportunity to showcase their talent. Plus, there’s insight on NFL draft prospects and the future of college football’s postseason. If you’re a Utah fan or just love the drama of college football playoff politics, this episode delivers sharp analysis and authentic perspective.

| INTERESTING: Morgan Scalley's UPDATE on Utah Utes Offense and Defense Progress is EXCITING | 15 Apr 2026 | 00:27:27 | |
Devon Dampier leads a talented Utah Utes offense, but the defense is also loaded with elite players. Morgan Scalley's latest spring ball comments on what Utah Football has on both sides of the ball are bigger than you realize. ESPN 700's Porter Larson joins JT Wistrcill to look at the big questions Utah must answer on both sides of the ball. The loss of Lander Barton leaves a big hole at linebacker for Utah Football, but Cyrus Polu may be ready to step up. Are Jonathan Hall and Trey Reynolds still the top two linebackers? Utah Men's Basketball finally made a splash in the transfer portal, but is Utah Valley's Jackson Holcombe ready for the Big 12? Can Alex Jensen get things figured out in year two?

| UH OH: Utah WILL MISS CFP | Should Utes be in with BYU over Alabama, Notre Dame, Miami Hurricanes? | 02 Dec 2025 | 00:31:11 | |
In this episode of "Locked On Utes," J.T. Wistrcill and Andrew Crowley dive into the Utah Utes' current position in the College Football Playoff rankings. There's a sobering consensus: Utah is likely on the outside looking in, despite a strong 10-win season and noteworthy improvement over last year's 5-7 record. The hosts discuss why Utah doesn't have the resume to edge out other teams—highlighting a lack of wins over currently ranked opponents, disappointing late-season defensive performances, and missed opportunities to impress the playoff committee. They then pivot to the looming offseason and Utah's strategy in the transfer portal. Andrew Crowley puts linebacker as his top priority, citing depth issues and inconsistency in stopping the run, while J.T. Wistrcill argues for tight end as a crucial need given the loss of Dallin Bentley and the lack of a true, versatile tight end on the roster. Both agree on additional needs at defensive tackle, wide receiver, offensive line, and potentially in the secondary. The conversation is honest about Utah’s development strengths but emphasizes that the transfer portal will be key for maintaining and elevating the program. The episode then shifts to Utah basketball, checking in on both men’s and women’s teams. The men’s squad, led by new coach Alex Jensen, is finding some momentum after a shaky start, but Big 12 play will bring real challenges. The women’s team boasts plenty of young talent, yet turnovers and inexperience have contributed to a rocky beginning—and the Big 12 will only ramp up the competition. They finish with a discussion around the Huntsman Center atmosphere and attendance, kicking around ideas to boost student engagement and game-day energy beyond just winning more.

| CHAOS: Kalani Sitake Leaving BYU for Penn State would have MASSIVE Impact on Utah Utes, Big 12 | 01 Dec 2025 | 00:29:09 | |
In this episode of Locked On Utes, J.T. Wistrcill and Alex Napoles break down the swirling rumors around Kalani Sitake potentially leaving BYU for the Penn State head coaching job and explore the impact such a move would have on both BYU and their in-state rival, Utah. The hosts discuss the ripple effects on recruiting, particularly the possibility of top in-state talent flipping their commitments to Utah if BYU faces a coaching shake-up. They also reflect on the legacy of Kyle Whittingham at Utah, especially as his retirement begins to feel imminent. The conversation dives into the broader landscape of college football coaching changes, including comparisons to Lane Kiffin’s high-profile move and how loyalty still matters in an era of frequent coaching transitions. Other major topics include the Utah Utes’ College Football Playoff hopes, the outlook for next season, and how staff changes or player retention could shape the program’s future. The episode wraps by previewing the importance of Utah’s upcoming bowl game—potentially Whittingham’s last—and what fans should watch for in transfer portal news.

| REACTION: CFP DROPS Utah Utes Below Miami Hurricanes DESPITE win vs KSU | Big 12 BIAS? | 26 Nov 2025 | 00:28:20 | |
On this episode of Locked On Utes, host J.T. Wistrcill is joined by Dalton Wasserman, co-host of PFF’s College Football Show, to break down the latest College Football Playoff rankings controversy. Utah fans are reeling after Miami leapfrogged the Utes—are the Canes’ wins worth more than Utah’s resume? The duo debates whether the committee is using a consistent criteria, why Utah’s defensive struggles might be impacting their national perception, and whether there’s any realistic path for the Utes to rise in the rankings. Shifting gears, J.T. and Dalton celebrate the breakout true freshman season of quarterback Bird Ficklin, whose explosiveness and rushing stats signal a bright future for Utah’s offense. They discuss the creative, innovative schemes brought by offensive coordinator Jason Beck and how Utah's rotating dual-threat QBs could be a nightmare for opposing defenses.The episode also deals with the devastating news of star pass rusher John Henry Daly’s season-ending injury. Dalton Wasserman puts Daly’s production in national context and assesses what it means for Utah’s defense moving forward, especially against a dangerous Kansas offense.

Key analysis includes the Utes' narrow path to the Big 12 championship game, which hinges entirely on Texas Tech.

| UNBELIEVABLE: Utah Player goes VIRAL | Could Semi Taulanga be the Utes new top tight end in Big 12? | 14 Apr 2026 | 00:26:17 | |
Utah football tight end Semi Taulanga goes viral for his impressive spring ball highlight. JT Wistrcill and ESPN the Fan host Jordan Bianucci join the show to break down what his role could be in the offense this season. The conversation also covers Utah’s tight end depth, questions about the wide receiver room, and who could lead the Utes in receiving yards for 2024, with names like Braden Pangan, Creed Whittemore, and more Utah Utes discussed. The episode then shifts to Utah men’s basketball and the transfer portal. Jordan analyzes the recent portal targets, which positions the Utes are focusing on, and the needs for size and skill as the program rebuilds under Alex Jensen. Other topics include the impact of coaching changes, how Utah football’s play-calling may evolve, and excitement for the upcoming NBA playoffs.

| MISTMATCH: Utah Utes will DOMINATE Kansas State | Devon Dampier or Avery Johnson better Big 12 QB? | 21 Nov 2025 | 00:30:37 | |
UTAH Football dominates Kansas State in the final home game prediction. Could this be Kyle Whittingham's last stand at Rice-Eccles Stadium?
JT Wistrcill and Brice Larson break down the Utes' path to a predicted 52-20 blowout victory, highlighting quarterback Devon Dampier's return from injury and running back Wayshawn Parker's expected monster performance behind an NFL-bound offensive line. The discussion covers senior day honors for linebacker Lander Barton and the entire starting offensive line, defensive strategies against Kansas State's mobile quarterback Avery Johnson, and the emotional weight of potentially witnessing legendary head coach Kyle Whittingham's final home game after transforming Utah football. Key analysis includes the Utes' narrow path to the Big 12 championship game, which hinges entirely on BYU losing to Cincinnati, and whether defensive coordinator Morgan Scalley will remain the successor-in-waiting or pursue other opportunities.
Tune in for insider predictions, player-by-player breakdowns, and exclusive insights on Utah's championship aspirations and coaching future.

| BIG 12 SQUAD - What Analysts Say About the Utah Utes Ahead of Week Thirteen | 20 Nov 2025 | 00:30:00 | |
Utah and BYU deserve College Football Playoff spots over Notre Dame and Alabama. Is the committee finally ready to respect Big 12 football? Drake and the Locked On Big 12 Squad break down the latest CFP rankings controversy, with JT Worcestershill defending Utah's dominant 35-point average margin of victory against critics who favor traditional powers. The panel analyzes Texas dropping seven spots after three losses, TCU's Sonny Dykes facing a hot seat, and Kenny Dillingham's future at Arizona State despite calling it his "dream job." Key discussions include whether the Big 12 can land two playoff teams, how conference championship losses will be evaluated, and why SEC teams with identical records get home playoff games while Big 12 champions don't. Jeff Car, Nick Maravettes, Cody Stovall, Parker, and Darian join the heated debate about conference bias and playoff positioning. Tune in for insider analysis on coaching carousel speculation and the Big 12's uphill battle for playoff respect. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

| EXPOSED: Utah Utes UNSTOPPABLE, Kansas State Wildcats CRUMBLING? Big 12 Game Preview & Predictions | 20 Nov 2025 | 00:30:20 | |
UTAH Football clashes with KANSAS STATE in a game that could define two drastically different seasons. The 9-2 UTES are hunting a COLLEGE FOOTBALL PLAYOFF berth while the 5-5 WILDCATS fight for bowl eligibility. J.T. and CHRISTIAN Rau break down UTAH's explosive 51-16 scoring average since their BYU loss, featuring the nation's second-ranked rushing attack behind an offensive line with two projected first-round picks. The discussion covers KANSAS STATE's injury-plagued season, AVERY JOHNSON's one-dimensional offense without star receiver JACE BROWN, and how CHRIS KLEIMAN's job security remains solid despite the disappointing campaign. Key matchups include UTAH's dominant ground game against KANSAS STATE's 77th-ranked run defense, DEVON DAMPIER's efficiency, and whether the WILDCATS can force turnovers to stay competitive. The hosts debate KYLE WHITTINGHAM's potential farewell game, BIG 12 CHAMPIONSHIP implications, and why both predict UTAH covers the 17.5-point spread in what could be a statement victory for CFP consideration.
