Personally. I currently know what the roster looks like… Every major player and backup. Without knowing the order of the schedule it’s obvi tough to predict… But here is what I do know.
1. Utah under Whit has always been better as underdogs. Always.
2. Utah D will be solid again if not great. Depends how these new corners look and if we can get one more DT.
3. Utah develops guys. I’m looking at the DL and DE here. We will be fine if only because our coaches know how to develop.
4. Our offense can’t be any worse. Even with a competent offense I believe Utah is at the very least an 8 or 9 win team.. Who knows until they play… But DD has shown it although against lessor competition, but, he knows the system. So from day one and spring ball he will be rolling. And as we’ve seen the last 2 years QB is all that matters.
5. RES is still the toughest environment to win in the big 12. Listen, I know we lost alot last year. But each game at home was close. ISU was good, BYU was good, TCU was good, AZ was the only exception. Had we had Ferrari Batari I believe we go 8-4 last year.
Put that all together Utah has a chance.. I think BYU and ASU come back to earth next year. Especially ASU. Teams will be gunning for them now. Cam S was there team. Leavitt is fine but not amazing. They will still be good. But I like our chances against them in RES. And BYU who knows, they return alot, but they also lost a lot of big time playmakers and emotional leaders and the rivalry game is always a toss up.
until I see the schedule I wouldn’t know what there record would be. And while I won’t be predicting them to win the big 12 too many Q marks before they’ve played. The points above still show me that we have a good chance to win the league next year. No prediction but a very good chance.
