Utah soccer’s 2022 time table highlighted via opener at Florida, late-season showdown at Oregon

The Utes will open subsequent season in Gainesville towards the Florida Gators

A high-profile season-opener towards an SEC program, and a rematch of this season’s Pac-12 championship recreation at the highway spotlight the College of Utah’s 2022 soccer time table, which used to be launched on Thursday morning.

Non-conference video games at Florida, and vs. Southern Utah and San Diego State had been already at the books, however the time table is now whole after the Pac-12 introduced its convention time table, beginning with the Utes going to Tempe on Sept. 24 to tackle Arizona State.

Utah’s travel to Gainesville will mark the primary time the Utes have performed a regular-season recreation towards an SEC workforce since a 27-21 loss at Tennessee on Sept. 15, 1984. The Utes are 1-6 all-time towards the SEC, the only win coming within the 2009 Sugar Bowl, 31-17, to cap an unbeaten 13-0 season.

The matchup towards the Gators is an instance of athletic director Mark Harlan’s need to support the non-conference time table. Florida will seek advice from Rice-Eccles Stadium in 2023, whilst the Utes have home-and-home agreements within the coming years with Baylor (2023, 2024), Houston (2026, 2027), Arkansas (2026, 2029), Wisconsin (2028, 2033) and LSU (2031, 2032).

The Sept. 3 opener will mark the primary since Utah has no longer began a non-COVID season on a Thursday evening since 2008 when it received at Michigan to open the 13-0 marketing campaign.

The large spotlight at the convention time table will likely be a Nov. 19 travel to Eugene to tackle Oregon. The Utes beat the Geese two times this season, together with 38-10 on Dec. 3 within the Pac-12 championship video games, sending them to their first Rose Bowl on New Yr’s Day towards Ohio State (2 p.m., ESPN).

Kickoff instances and broadcast designations will likely be introduced at a later date.
