1. I think they might have a slight edge in that this is their second year running Grimes’ offense, but BYU’s offensive coaching staff is not an advantage over Utah’s. Ludwig has as many years of experience as an OC as three of their coaches have in their entire career . . . COMBINED.
2. How could anyone possibly know whose kicking game is better? Their’s hasn’t exactly been outstanding and Utah’s is a complete unknown right now. Given our history I expect this to be ‘Even’ at a minimum.
3. Right now, I would take Bushman over our TEs, but that doesn’t mean he is better than Fotheringham. Bushman has just proven more to this point.
4. Bernard would be their best LB if he was still down there. As for Lloyd, Lund, and Carlson we’ll have to wait and see but their LB’s haven’t been dominant.
5. Utah has healthy RB’s too aside from what has been reported to be a minor hand/finger injury to Moss which might be completely healed come Thursday.
