This season was Ron McBride’s last at Utah. The team won their first two games before dropping six straight. At 2–6 with only three games remaining the team was guaranteed a losing record and would be ineligible for bowl play. However the team then won the final three games of the season capped by a 13–6 home victory over their biggest rivals the BYU Cougars finishing the season with a 5–6 record.
