Avoid the Sacks
This was a key two weeks ago as well, although I’ve reworded “protect Anthony Brown” to “Avoid the Sacks” because some of the onus is on Brown himself to avoid getting taken down.
The Utes are still very clearly the most prolific pass rushing team in the conference, at least according to sacks where they have a whopping 37 of them – 11 more than second place UCLA and 15 more than the Ducks.
Utah got to Brown three times the last time these two teams met, and no doubt the pass rush (on both sides of the ball) will be a huge factor on Friday evening.
