Scalley was expected to be the Utes’ coach beginning after this game, but Michigan hired Kyle Whittingham on Friday, prompting a quicker change. “There have been so many distractions for these players,” Scalley said. “The game is all about them, and so they’re the ones that don’t deserve all the distractions. They worked their tails off.” For Dampier, the game MVP, the question now is whether the junior will return to Salt Lake City or enter the transfer portal and maybe even follow his old coach to Michigan. He didn’t directly address a question regarding what his thought process would be over the next two days. “It’s the last couple of hours I get to hang out with these guys,” Dampier said. “That’s where my mind is going to be at for sure.” This game was considered a sort of audition for Nebraska freshman quarterback TJ Lateef, who passed for 182 yards and
