Urban Meyer has come a long way in the last decade.

Before he led Ohio State to a 12-0 regular season or Florida to two national championships, he was hired at Utah to bring a fast-paced offensive style.

That leads us to this 2003 Utah football commercial discovered on YouTube. The Utes were coming off a 5-6 season and, in an attempt to fire up the fan base, this was one of a few commercials aired.

Meyer proved to be correct, posting 10-2 and 12-0 seasons before heading to Gainesville. Fasten your seatbelts.
