Utah will be a good team, no doubt, they always have a good team. But they have a lot of coaching changes, including the OC and DC coaches. They are losing 20 seniors (14 starters I think) and 2 great defensive underclassman to the draft. I think they will struggle in the passing game (which is good for the Ducks) they have a RS sophomore QB with very little game time experience, he is dual threat 3* guy that mostly runs the ball and they have a 4* JUCO guy from this years class. They will rely on their running game (which is also good for the Ducks) which has a veteran back, who is good but not great. I thought the D would be their best bet to win games, but losing those two guys is huge for them (a DB and DT). I think the Ducks win pretty big!
