The reason why North Cal is an area that Utah has been targeting hard in recruiting that is where they got Booker, Joe Williams same JC, Tyrone Smith who has really come on strong at WR 6-4 205, Jordan Fogal who has been playing in place of injured Marcus Williams. Utah has 36 players from CA which is even more than Utah kids. So yes Utah fans would rather have Utah play the SJSU, Fresno St, San Diego St because it gives them more exposure in CA and their top recruiting grounds.
Utah fans want Hill to schedule games in TX, FL, and LA where they have also had success recruiting because of Dennis Ericson
