Utah’s O might just be very overrated (by Utah fans). Our D also definitely broke tendencies (and has more athleticism on the back end) which seemed to have surprised them. Shutting down their WRs was not something they probably figured on and they only partially countered by going to the TEs.
They definitely don’t have the lines they have had in the past, on either side. I think lack of game experience was critical for them and our experience was critical for us.
Arizona may be better than people think but they’re still not good.
I’m holding judgment on ‘legit’-ness until after ASU. But this is one I certainly pegged in the preseason as an L on our way to 7/8 wins. With it being a W, I feel a lot more confident on the 8 and 10 feels like much more of a possibility (especially if we are truly legit).
