From legacy to succession, recruiting fallout to portal ramifications, and how Morgan Scalley steps into the biggest transition in modern Utah football history — this episode tells the truth about where the program stands and where it goes next. Just a misty-eyed breakdown of the end of an era, the beginning of a new one, and the stakes Utah now faces in real time.
