Most CBer's have Utah winning 5-6, at best. Anyone above 7 is a solid minority.
I'd say most Utes would be thrilled with 8. I wouldn't put too much stock in Spring though. Utah's biggest question marks were RB and the secondary. I think the coaches were pleased with the progress at the those two spots, so in the most important areas there were positives.
Backup QB is still a huge gaping hole. But it's over-emphasized on here and in the press.
