SALT LAKE CITY (AP) The latest stop on Dennis Erickson's coaching tour of the Pac-12 brings him to Utah as co-offensive coordinator, where his marching orders are simple: help the Utes score more touchdowns.
The 65-year-old Erickson, who won two national titles as Miami coach and has been a head coach at three Pac-12 schools, intends to implement an up-tempo offense that is trending throughout college football.
"If you look at probably the top 10 offenses in college football, all of them run 75, 80 plays," Erickson said at a news conference Wednesday. "Well, you can't run 75, 80 plays if you're in the huddle."
