Utah - 7 -110....Maybe I'm nuts but I think the Utes could pull off another undefeated season (I remember this time last year I was laughed at for predicting they would go unbeaten in 2004). When your toughest games are @ TCU and @UNC your schedule really isn't that bad. Anyway for this game, the Utes have a lot to prove, after losing their coach and many of their stars from last years BCS team. Much of the flash is gone, with the skill positions all being replaced, but the core of both lines is in tact and will be as strong as last year. Brian Johnson at QB has a live arm and great mobility, and while he's obviously a downgrade from Alex Smith he's not a terrible replacement. At RB they are solid, with Ganther starting (he started 5 games last year) and two super talented but injury prone backups.
Arizona returns the second worst offense in division I in scoring last year, and a defensive unit that will scheme well but ultimatley is not very talented. The personel is just not there yet for Zona to make that big jump.
Home opener for Utah, the players and coaching staff want to prove they haven't missed a beat since Urban Meyer left, and I think they'll start the season off with a big win. They won by 17 @ Arizona last year, and I don't see the Wildcats putting up much of a better fight to start this season. Look for a comfortable double digit win here.
