Why the Utes could reach the Playoff: Is there a more underrated program in college football? Utah nearly reached the New Year’s Six last fall, but a loss in the Pac-12 title game nullified a chance at a spectacular season. Luckily for the Utes, the senior backfield battery of quarterback Tyler Huntley and electric tailback Zack Moss returns to finish what they started as a team on the fringe of the elites. Six other starters are back offensively for first-year OC Andy Ludwig, who has a wealth of speed to work with as the Utes move to a slightly modified version of their tempo-based spread.
Not sure I see us going this far… but it is amazing to even be in the discussion.
