From the beginning of the 2018 season until September 20, 2024 (1 year ago), Utah had a home record of 34-3 (92% win rate). Utah was an absolute monster at home, and Rice-Eccles Stadium (RES) had a reputation for being an incredibly difficult place to play. For example, Utah beat #3 Oregon and #7 USC at RES. When on the road, Utah was just mediocre. During the same stretch of time, Utah’s away record was 20-20 (50%).
In the past year, Utah has a home record of 1-4, and an away record of 4-3. That means that in just the past year, Utah has had more home losses than they did during the entire stretch from 2018 until September 20, 2024.
What happened to Utah’s amazing home advantage? I’d say it’s just a product of putting a bad team on the field, but that doesn’t explain why Utah’s away record has been better than normal over the past year. Perhaps the number of games I’m looking at is just too small to draw any conclusions. Will Utah bounce back to having a 90%+ win rate when playing at RES? Or will they continue to be better away than at home?
