Utah offensive coordinator Andy Ludwig resigns after Utes' third straight loss

Utah will have a new offensive coordinator for the remainder of the 2024 season.

The school announced Sunday evening that Andy Ludwig had resigned. He had been Utah's offensive coordinator since 2019.

Ludwig's resignation comes after Utah lost 13-7 at home to TCU on Saturday night. The Utes had 267 total yards in the loss and were 2 of 15 on third downs. Seventy-one of those yards came on one play when quarterback Isaac Wilson hit Money Parks for a TD pass in the third quarter.

Utah played this game with Wilson, a true freshman, starting in place of Cam Rising. Wilson was Utah's primary quarterback this season as Rising appeared in just three games. Rising left the team's Week 2 win over Baylor with a right hand injury after his hand crashed into a cooler on the sideline and he suffered a leg injury in his first game a week ago against Arizona State.

The Utes have lost three straight games and fell to 4-3 overall and 1-3 in the Big 12. The preseason Big 12 favorites beat Oklahoma State to open conference play but have scored just 36 points in their last three games.

Utah's QBs are completing just 54% of their passes this season and are averaging 7.2 yards per attempt. The problems on offense without rising are not new either. Utah didn't have Rising all season in 2023 and the Utes went 8-5 despite allowing just 19.3 points per game.
