* Huntley beginning his senior season, having put on 20 lbs of muscle during the off-season, making him less prone to injury.

* Zach Moss is healthy. (Aside from finger stepped on in practice.) Has 3-4 very capable, young RB's behind him, including DHC, Brumfield, Micah Bernard, and Jordan Wilmore- the 4-star kid who picked Utah over USC.

* Covey should be healthy by USC. Until then, they have Jaylen Dixon, Solomon Enis, Samson Nacua, Demari Simpkins, Derrick Vickers, and Bryan Thompson. Enis was pretty good his freshman year. And Dixon could be the best WR Utah has seen for a long time. And the tight-ends are solid.

* D-line full of dudes who will play on Sunday.

* The LB position group is the only question for the defense. Lost Hansen and Barton... and Bowen- before he ever played. But Francis Bernard and Devin Lloyd will be solid starters. Not much experience behind them. But Sione Lund is a great athlete who can provide depth, along with several other dudes. (Anae, Mata' afa)

* Awesome secondary. Jaylon Johnson, Julian Blackmon, Javelin Guidry, Terrell Burgess, Bronson Boyd, Tareke Lewis, etc.

* Special Teams-
P- Ben Lennon- another Aussie punter. Supposedly more like Hackett than Wishnowski. (Accuracy over power.)
PK- ? Supposedly, both Redding and Strauch are fairly reliable, though nowhere near Phillips or Gay. Neither has proven an ability to be consistently accurate beyond 35 yards. There's also the JC kid from Bountiful.) Biggest question mark.
PR/KR- Good
