The team, coached by second-year head football coach Urban Meyer, played its home games in Rice-Eccles Stadium.
Utah finished the season 12-0, the fourth undefeated and untied season in school history. The Utes were one of three teams in the top-level Division I FBS to finish the season undefeated.
