“Once again, Utah has carved out success by imposing its defensive will on opponents. The Utes lead the nation in red-zone defense (19-of-32, .594). Additionally, they also lead the Pac-12 in several other defensive categories, including total defense (312.1 ypg), rushing defense (95.5 ypg), tackles for loss per game (8.1), opponent third-down conversion percentage (.325) and turnovers gained (18).
Individually, Bradlee Anae leads the league in sacks (7.0) and Chase Hansen ranks second in tackles for loss (19.0) and TFL per game (1.73).
An improved offense and a dose of mental toughness have combined with that stout defense to create a winning formula that’s seen Utah bounce back from a 2-2 start with six wins in its last seven games.”
