University of Utah head football coach Kyle Whittingham announced senior Brett Ratliff as the Utes' starting quarterback Wednesday morning. Ratliff helped lead Utah to a 41-34 overtime victory over rival BYU in the final regular-season contest last season. He then quarterbacked the Utes to a 38-10 rout of then-No. 24 Georgia Tech in the Emerald Bowl.
Utah's offence can expect to see great things from
Junior WR Brian Hernandez. All-conference candidate was granted a one-year extension on his five-year clock from the NCAA on July 18, 2006, that will allow him to compete through the 2007-08 season ... Utah's top returning receiver is extremely competitive, fast and sure-handed ... runs great routes and is very tough to defend one-on-one ... makes big gains after the catch ... missed spring ball following ankle surgery on Jan. 5, but should be full strength by fall.
