2016 Hoops & Helmets: College Football, Basketball Top Combinations

5. Utah

For the second year in a row, it’s been good to be a Ute.

Utah was rock-solid in both sports, thanks in large part to the coaching of Kyle Whittingham (football) and Larry Krystkowiak (basketball). Krystkowiak lost a star—Delon Wright—to the first round of the NBA Draft, yet still went 26-8 and finished second only to top-seeded Oregon in the Pac-12.

Ute football won 10 games for the first time as a member of the conference, climbing as high as No. 3 nationally before losing to USC on Oct. 24. Utah’s final win was a special one, knocking off hated rival BYU in the Las Vegas Bowl.
