American college football season
The 2021 Utah Utes football team represented the
University of Utah during the
2021 NCAA Division I FBS football season. The Utes were led by 17th-year head coach
Kyle Whittingham and played their home games at
Rice–Eccles Stadium in
Salt Lake City as members of the South Division of the
Pac-12 Conference. Despite a rough start to the season and the death of players
Ty Jordan and Aaron Lowe,
[1] the Utes rallied and won their first Pac-12 championship since joining the conference in 2011, defeating the tenth-ranked
Oregon Ducks, 38–10, in the
conference championship game. The Utes completed their season with their first ever appearance in the
Rose Bowl, where they lost to
Ohio State.
