Utah (1-0) vs BYU (1-0) Game Preview
Why Utah Will Win
It wasn’t a perfect performance against Weber State in the 40-17 victory, but it was the type of game that might have worked a few things out.
The massive defensive front stopped up the Wildcat running game, and it’s going to be a brick wall against the BYU ground attack. The secondary allowed just over 200 yards through the air, but it wasn’t a problem.
More importantly, the new quarterback looked great. Baylor transfer Charlie Brewer threw a pick, but he was sharp overall. Throw in a good day for a ground game that needed some players to emerge, and it was what the team needed as a warm-up.

What’s Going To Happen
It’s always fun, it’s always a fight, and it’s always …
A Utah win.
At least the last nine and ten of the last 11 have gone to the Utes going back to the thriller late in the 2009 season.
BYU has the lines to hold up for stretches, but the problems will come as the game goes on. The Utah fronts will take over Brewer will outplay Hall, and even on the road in a rivalry battle it’ll be a great performance by the Pac-12er over the (likely) future Big 12er.
