Utah Utes football notebook: Senior QB Jon Hays set to complete 'crazy' career at Utah
"It definitely felt good to be back out there and to be playing," Christopher said, while noting his displeasure that the Utes didn't win the game. "But to just get the chance to go out and play (in the) last home game — Senior Night — was definitely a good experience."
QUIET CONTRIBUTOR: Utah coach Kyle Whittingham acknowledged the contributions of snapper Patrick Greene over the past four seasons.
"Those guys go unnoticed until they screw up," Whittingham said. "If they're unnoticed that's a good thing because that means they're doing their job exactly as it needs to be done. Patrick has been a very solid, steady performer for us."
EXTRA POINTS: Junior running back Kelvin York, who has missed the past three games with a high ankle sprain, returned to practice this week. ... Freshman running back Jarrell Oliver had foot surgery Monday. ... Linebacker/defensive end Trevor Reilly leads safety Eric Rowe, 64-59, for the team lead in tackles.

To go from a program that dropped football, to starting in the pac-12 under legendary offensive coordinator Norm Chow, and winning with a few super passes in the Sun Bowl, Hays definitely has a great story to tell for the rest of his life. Few people More..
Hays should have started the season as the starter and gotten all the fall reps. Utah's investment in Wynn the last couple of seasons since Wynn lost his arm strength cost Utah dearly. The WRs that Utah has had were capable of stretching the More..
Hays definitely made the most out of his time at Utah. He was a great competitor and got the Utes through some difficult times each time Wynn went down.
