“Chris played very well,” coach Kyle Whittingham said. “He’s just a guy that is someone we have complete faith in and confidence. … He’s good at everything.'
Utah running back Chris Curry scores a touchdown while being tackled by two Souther Utah defenders during the game on Saturday, Sept. 10, 2022, at Rice-Eccles Stadium.Nearly three years ago, Utah Utes running back Chris Curry was contributing to LSU’s national championship run. And upon his transfer to Utah before the 2021 season,But Curry barely touched the ball for the Utes.
In nine games last season, he got just 18 carries that amounted to 80 yards. He appeared fourth on the depth chart before the season opener, and was completely off it three weeks later as the chart went only two deep. But Curry stayed the course. He lived by the words of Utes running back coach Quinton Ganther, who continually tells him to “finish everything you do” and “put your pride into it.” He prayed, and received support from this parents and teammates.It all translated into Curry putting on a breakout performance in Saturday’s 73-7 rout of Southern Utah.
“Chris played very well,” coach Kyle Whittingham said Monday. “In fact, I guess you could confidently say that was his best game as a Ute. He was very productive, ran the ball well. He’s just a guy that is someone we have complete faith in and confidence. … He’s good at everything.” Curry didn’t get the most touches, but he did amass the most rushing yards among the running backs. He had 60 yards on six carries and one touchdown. The six carries are his most ever in a Utah uniform.Curry has taken a liking to Ganther, who is the new running backs coach this season. He respects Ganther for his playing experience not just at Utah, but in the NFL. Ganther has also coached at the NFL level with the Seattle Seahawks and Jacksonville Jaguars.
