Every week we here at the Crimson Corner are teaming up with the InsidetheUtes.com staff to bring you the UTEcast, a podcast focusing on everything Utes.

On this episode we recapped Utah's first day of spring football practice and the Runnin' Utes tournament run in Las Vegas.

SALT LAKE CITY — The University of Utah kicked off spring football practice Tuesday afternoon in front of fans and a plethora of media gathered at the Utes practice fields.

The weather was perfect as the Utes' offense under new co-offensive coordinator Dennis Erickson began to take shape.

Back was starting quarterback Travis Wilson, and although he struggled right at the start of practice, he got into the zone and was throwing bullets right on the money. Adam Schultz continued to shine as the best passer of the bunch, while newcomer Brandon Cox turned some heads with his excellent athleticism and his ability to make the correct read on the zone option.

LAS VEGAS — One down, one more to go.

The Utah basketball team cannot get ahead themselves. It is time to take Crash Davis' advice and learn the clichés.

Utah has to take this one day at a time, one game at a time.

LAS VEGAS — Do the Utes have a chance? Yeah they have a chance!

The Utah basketball team is in Las Vegas for the PAC-12 tournament and they're full of confidence and realize that they have nothing to lose. With those two ingredients, plus some momentum from a great weekend, and a USC team in turmoil, that just might equal a win.

The last two games against Oregon State and Oregon were a glimpse of what Utah fans had hoped to see much earlier in the season. Better late than never. They saw a team that they could cheer for; they saw unity; they saw a winner.

On this episode we dive into the running back, wide receiver and tight end position group competitions, as well as debate on what kind of athlete you would want to bring into your program.

This week we talk Utah hoops with former Ute Josh Grant, look back at the 2009 recruiting class and what a disaster it turned out to be and continue our look ahead to spring football previewing the quarterback position group.

You can listen to part 1 here:

OGDEN — The Brighton Bengals reached the semifinals Wednesday afternoon by beating the Viewmont Vikings 69-58. Brighton has a good team and senior leadership thanks to Brandon Miller.

Miller has committed to the University of Utah to play basketball, but only after he serves a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.

Brandon Miller will give the Utes exactly what they need, a local kid that can shoot. Miller is averaging 19.4 PPG and that includes almost three 3-pointers per game. He does all of this while the defense keys in on him. Against the Vikings, Miller went 9-14 from the field and had a game high 26 points.

Remember when the Utes tore down their old facility just a short time ago? The new Utah football facility is going up fast.

Robert Jackson and I are stoked about it and thanks to Director of Football Operations Jeff Rudy and the Utah football program, we went on a tour. We hope you are as excited as we are about it.

"This will put us right at the top of the Pac-12, in some aspects in the top of the country," Jeff Rudy said.

This episode focuses in on the state of Utah football, what co-offensive coordinator Dennis Erickson brings to the table, the offensive and defensive line position groups, as well as a preview at who will be in the starting lineup for the 2013-14 Runnin' Utes.

SALT LAKE CITY — Dennis Erickson is no stranger to college football or coaching offenses.

Known as one of the original architects of the spread offense, the 23 year head coaching veteran was introduced to the media as the co-offensive coordinator for the Utes at a press conference at the University of Utah Wednesday.

"It's a pleasure to be here and have an opportunity to work with Kyle and the coaching staff, who I've gotten to spend some time with over the last three days," Erickson said.

We talked about Utah's win over Arizona State, football recruiting and the Dennis Erickson hire - was it a good move for the Utes, and what does it mean for Brian Johnson?

SALT LAKE CITY — "Should I stay or should I go?"

Change is continuously occurring everywhere around us. You have the good types of change, like meeting a girl that you just can't take your mind off of, spending all hours of the night talking about random sports stats, as well as your hopes, dreams and aspirations.

Then there are the bad types of change - the kind that make you long for the "good old days".

SALT LAKE CITY — If you were ever disappointed in watching Utah's offense during its discouraging 5-7 campaign in 2012, it turns out you probably weren't alone.

The Utes finished 108th in total offense, managing a meager 324 yards per game in their second go-round in Pac-12 play.

In 2013, the Utes aren't taking any more chances.

SALT LAKE CITY — The Super Bowl may be over, meaning fans will have to drudge through the spring and summer months counting down the days till next season, but football is not that far off for players and coaches, especially at the college level.

Signing day is tomorrow (we'll have a full list of the latest commits as they come in), but are the Utes up to something besides just trying to pull in the best recruits from around the country?

SALT LAKE CITY — It is a good thing that almost only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades.

The Runnin' Utes captured their first home Pac-12 win Saturday despite almost blowing a 22-point lead in the second half against Colorado.

Utah head coach Larry Krystkowiak met with the media Monday during his weekly press conference to talk about the win and look ahead to the Utes road trip against Oregon State and Oregon.

In light of the University of Utah retiring "The Sweater" it is my duty; nay, privilege; nay, honor to bring to you my top five coaching moments under Rick Majerus.

SALT LAKE CITY — After suffering one of the worst losses in Huntsman Center history, the Utah basketball team bounced back with a lot of running Tuesday afternoon.

The team ran. And ran. And ran some more.
