Utah Utes football under Ike Armstrong (in the MSC)

Ike Armstrong was the sixth professional head coach of the Utah Utes football team. The Utes represent the University of Utah for intercollegiate football games. Armstrong compiled a record of 141–55–15 (.704) during his twenty-five years coaching at Utah. In the Mountain States Conference (MSC), Armstrong had a record of 67–32–10 (43–14–5 MSC)[1] and won six conference championships.[2]

Utah was in the MSC for the last twelve years of Armstrong's career. Armstrong's first thirteen seasons at Utah (1925–1937), Utah played in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference (RMAC). The MSC was popularly called the "Big Seven Conference", and then after Colorado left following the 1947 season, popularly called the "Skyline Conference" or "Skyline Six". Utah played in and won its first bowl game, the 1939 Sun Bowl, during Armstrong's tenure in the MSC.[3] Armstrong also helped keep the team in existence during World War II even though most of the other schools in the conference decided not to field teams from 1943 to 1945.[4]

Armstrong was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1957.[5]

Utah considered cancelling football in 1943 due to World War II. College enrollment dropped significantly as many college-aged men enlisted in the armed services. LeRoy E. Cowles, President of the University of Utah asked that the team continue to play. Armstrong supported Cowles despite having a severe shortage of players. Only Colorado and Utah in the Mountain States Conference maintained a football team in 1943. To play a semblance of a full schedule, Utah played Colorado twice and resorted to playing enlisted men from Fort Warren, Wyoming.[4] The result was Utah's only winless season since going 0–1 in 1895.[19]
