With preseason camp coming to a close, Utah decided to have some fun.

The Utes were challenged with a seemingly simple task: kick an extra point. Some players learned quickly that kicking isn’t so simple.

A few Utes made the kick with ease, like tight end Harrison Handley, who went straight at the ball with his toe (his second attempt didn’t work out). Others weren’t even close.

I bet this exercise made the team even more appreciative to have All-Pac-12 kicker Andy Phillips back for his senior season. Phillips is 46-for-55 over the last two seasons.
