SALT LAKE CITY — And just like that, the Utes are already five practices into spring football.

Mike Grant and I spent a good amount of time watching Coach Shah run drills with the defensive backs, and Keith McGill looked considerably better and was receiving a lot of praise from the former attorney turned coach.

Another standout in the secondary is Eric Rowe, who is separating himself as the defense's number one player.

Both running backs Karl Williams and Lucky Radley carried the ball exceptionally well today. We caught up with Radley after practice, you can hear his comments in the video player above.

You can also watch interviews with QB Adam Schulz, who is pushing Travis Wilson for the top spot on the depth chart, offensive line coach Dan Finn, and head coach Kyle Whittingham.

Some other notes from practice:

-Receivers dropped a lot of passes. Things looked visibly improved on Tuesday from last Saturday, but the receivers regressed on Thursday. The few exceptions to that are Kenneth Scott and Dres Anderson, who have both had great camps, and tight end Jake Murphy, who seems to catch anything thrown in his zip code.

-Tempo. The offense continued to have a good pace and there wasn't a lot of downtime in between plays. Granted, it is not Oregon, but it is likely we won't be seeing very many four minute 3 and out drives.
