Morgan Scalley said Utah's Daniel Bray is in concussion protocol after playing three snaps against Idaho, with a possible return trending positively but still dependent on day-to-day recovery and clearance.

Scalley expressed confidence in Utah's defensive-tackle depth with Mike Tautoli getting healthier and useful contributions from Semi Taulanga and Sione Motuapuaka, highlighting Taulanga's recognition and pursuit on a screen.

Scalley said Elijah Elliss handled his Utah starting assignment well and praised the linebacker group, while noting an exceptionally high measured workload for Cyrus Polu across linebacker and special teams.

Utah's pressure selection is driven by opponent formations and tendencies rather than aggression alone, with Scalley explaining that quarterback-run threats can prompt an extra defender in the box and that the Idaho game featured substantial zone pressure.

Scalley described Utah packages using Devon and Byrd together to exploit Byrd's receiving and fly-sweep ability or put him at quarterback, but emphasized selective usage to avoid exposing both players to excessive hits.
