You are right, there is no identity. Utah is known to be rough, rugged, and at times physically brutal. Announcers make it a point every game to mention that, however, I don’t recall one game this year where that has been true. Not even against SUU or Utah State. They have looked soft this year. Perhaps it’s time for a new identity. Offenses and defenses have changed over the years as the sport continues to change, so why continue to put your CBs on an island and one on one protection every play. Work in some zone or other variants. You will give up more short passes, but will stop getting beat so badly several times a game. I think that scheme works when you have elite corner/s and safeties that are ball hawks, and pressure on the QB, but when none of that is happening, it’s a recipe of a very inefficient defense. You have to adapt or get left behind, which seems to be occurring. It’s time to reset and become innovative on both offense and defense, like other teams are. Utah is not in a good place when it appears that UNLV would put it to them.
