The poise and confidence in a top 25, road matchup against a storied program in Eugene on Saturday poses the question, Is this the beginning of a new era in Utah football?
I think the safest way to think about this team is like 2008. It’s a good group with seasoning from last season and a lot of seniors. I think part of why Pease and Roderick are the coordinators is to keep everyone in the same systems to make a run. To call it a new era is premature and driven really by recruiting. Expect to see a lot of these in the league though.
I see a lot of leadersip, cohesivness, talent, maturity, having adjusted to being in the PAC-12. To my eyes similar to the 2004 team. I expect many players from this year’s team to be in the NFL next year. If Travis continues his solid play he’ll get an opportunity too.
