SALT LAKE CITY (KSL.com) — It’s no secret Utah is looking to establish the run this season.

Utah head coach Kyle Whittingham has long desired to have an effective ground game over a favorable nod to what he calls the “throw game.” Over the last few years, he’s looked for more balance in his offense between the run and pass, but the run game is the preferred vehicle.

With true dual-threat quarterback Devon Dampier under center a year after rushing for 1,166 yards and 19 touchdowns, it only adds fuel to the fire that Utah will run … a lot.

Dampier is the engine, but until at least Monday — though there were some nudges along the way dating back to spring potentially saying otherwise — the belief has been that sophomore running back Wayshawn Parker would be the team’s starter, or RB1.
