The Utah Checkdown podcast: Texas Tech's gamble shakes up Big 12 title race


Save Story

SALT LAKE CITY β€” Utah football made history on Thursday as two of its offensive tackles were drafted in the first round of the 2026 NFL draft.

Host Josh Furlong recaps the NFL draft and where all the former Utah players landed and what's at stake for them. He also looks into a shakeup in Morgan Scalley's staff and what it means for the future.

He also jumps into the Texas Tech gambling drama, with star quarterback Brendan Sorsby linked to gambling on games. With his potential departure, it could open up the Big 12 title race for more teams.

Could this make it easier for teams like Utah to get to the Big 12 title game?
