First, the game is at Arizona. Second, it sure doesn’t help that Utah shoots its own foot frequently (e.g. CU, Cal, Oregon).
Plus, speaking of young players, Utah has plenty of them in the secondary; and, SJSU’s Love/Gaither combo had plenty of pitch-and-catch against our secondary. As far as receiving corps goes, so far, Carrington is the only one. Sure, Nacua and Wilson have potential, but I don’t think they’ve arrived. Utah’s o-line has been average thus far, at best. Our overall defense may be pretty good, let’s see how they play against a more athletic team and whether they can stay disciplined against a zone-read offense.
I think we’ll have a better idea after Friday. My 2 cents.
