Defense:
Secondary: mostly held our receivers in check.
D-line: looked far from stout and didn't get much pressure in the backfield.
Linebackers: looked really good--they covered space well and made several tackles from behind that could have been huge gains for BYU. Lloyd and Sewell are great players.
Their defense was pretty tough as usual, but not dominant. How long has it been since we've had a 100-yard rusher agains them?

Special Teams:
Punt return: Great punt returner in Covey. He's kind of like Odd-Job in N64's Goldeneye--it's unfair to have that size limitation because no one can see him on the field.
Kickoff returner: fortunately never given an opportunity to return a kickoff.
Kicker: missed one field goal but made the rest of his kicks.
Punter: I don't remember the punter being special.
Overall, special teams is definitely a weaker group than usual.

Offense:
QB: Brewer looked mediocre but our defense was aggressive, knocked him on his butt a lot, and our secondary covered his options REALLY well. With Brewer's career at Baylor, it's hard to argue that he isn't legit or talented. But time will tell if he's as good as advertized.
RB: first string was fantastic. Bernard was incredible and Utah once again reloaded at RB. This won't be a popular opinion, but he played an even better game than Allgier (and Allgier had a great game). Bernard is the only person that stood in the way of BYU having a completely dominant rout over Utah.
Receivers: the receivers were glaringly weak. They couldn't get open and they dropped passes. This may be their weakest position on the team.
O-line: O line was also weak. Our D line and LBers consistently brought pressure and got in the backfield. Luckily for Utah, Bernard broke tackles and turned plays that should have been losses to big gains. The o-line might be their second weakest group on the team.
Tight Ends: looked good, but BYU's defense mostly held them in check. We've been hearing Kuithe's name a lot the past couple years but, other than his touchdown, he was REALLY quiet Saturday. I don't know what position Kincaid plays but he and Fotheringham played ok.

Ultimately this Utah team has some significant weaknesses and I have a hard time knowing how they will do. They're a few injuries away from being a very incomplete team. Some pundits predicted this team would win the South, Pac12, and be potential playoff contenders. This team was also talked up by Whit as the deepest team they've ever had. BYU exposed them and they don't look deep nor as good as other years. I don't see Utah winning the South nor do I see them toward the top of their division. It's really early to tell, but USC, UCLA, and Arizona State all may be better than Utah this year. And Colorado might also be better as their one loss was against #5 Texas A&M. Will Utah finish 2nd in the south out of 6 teams, or 5th place? My prediction would be 4th or 5th.

Overall, despite some glaring weaknesses, Utah looked decent and has potential. I don't want to take anything away from BYU's win because it was huge, moreso to get past a mental block than anything. On Sunday, a KSL writer said that Utah has been "exponentially better" during the Pac12 years. I wish their writers knew what hyperbole is because they have know idea what exponential means. We are seeing a shift in momentum like I hoped from Big12 Friday. It feels good to break the streak and push back against Kyle Whittingham's respect for BYU-in-private, disrespect-in-public persona.

How do you assess Utah as a team this year?
