After last year’s 11-2 campaign, Utah football has played 119 FBS seasons, dating back to 1905.
Overall, according to Sports-Reference.com, the Utes have compiled a 704–468–30 (.591) record as an FBS program through the 2025 season.
Since the program’s first season, Utah has appeared in 27 bowl games, winning 18, and has secured 26 conference championships.
Utah is credited by some with an unclaimed National Championship after its undefeated 2008 season, and has produced 13 consensus First Team All-America players.
The Utes begin their 120th FBS season in the Big 12 with momentum under new head coach Morgan Scalley, looking to continue their winning ways.
