UCLA, Oregon, Cal, or Stanford came to Salt Lake for a game. This was not common. It was always exciting. Now, virtually every home game is a top team including USC and UW who never came to Salt Lake.
We had some fun rivalries with the likes of CSU, Wyoming, Air Force, New Mexico, etc., and it was a rare treat for a Pac12 school to visit Rice-Eccles. Now it’s 4 or 5 Pac12 schools every year, and definitely a higher level of difficulty.
