Utes future with Morgan Scalley; Big 12 media days look ahead

As Utah prepares for its move to the Big 12 — a move that officially doesn't take place until Aug. 2 — the university made clear its future plans for football on Monday.

Defensive coordinator Morgan Scalley was named head coach in waiting and will take over once Kyle Whittingham retires — a date that remains unknown.

Host Josh Furlong breaks down the future plans, why it was announced now, what things could look like with Scalley and what to watch for in the coming months.

He also breaks down what will take place next week at Big 12 media days in Las Vegas, and looks at some of the storylines to pay attention to in Utah's first season in the conference.
