Athlon pick’s 35-31 Arizona

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.

Vegas line up to -4 -115 which says it’s leaning to 4.5.  They’re missing their best D-lineman as well.  Good news with sharp money coming in on the Utes.  Phil Steele has the Utes winning… plenty of National pundits picking us in this game.  Have to admit it’s a little scary but honestly  which Pac12 game isn’t this year??  

We’re young too man…gonna lose some games but will be top 15 preseason next year and the year after if we win 8+ games this year especially if Huntley continues to play well…hopefully that’ll cure your recognition blues.
