Why Utah Will Win

The Utes are better than they looked in the 26-17 loss to BYU.

At least they’re supposed to be better than that.

The running game worked. It averaged close to eight yards per carry, but the O only ran 25 times. The passing game dinked and dunked, but Charlie Brewer wasn’t bad. So what was the problem?

What’s Going To Happen

San Diego State’s offense isn’t going to rumble this week.

Arizona has a whole lot of work to do, and it showed when the Aztecs jumped out to a big lead and relied on the defense from there.

Utah’s lines will make up for last week’s issues, Charlie Brewer will have an efficient and effective day, and the team will start to look the part of a possible Pac-12 contender – like it’s supposed to be.
