Vegas opening line favors Utah at 12.5 vs ASU

We were hurt by big fast receivers and poor secondary play. Other than that this year the defense seems to handle these situations well. This will be a step up in class, so we’ll see.

…nd I don’t think it’s that close. Their last two games have been decent wins, but they have yet to go up against a defense like Utah’s. They are playing a freshman QB, and I think he is going to struggle under the pressure (and the home crowd). They have some good players, no doubt, but we have a great run defense, and the secondary has really stepped up the last two games.This one goes to the Utes.

The ASU game is the one that scares me every single year, but I tend to agree with you on this one. Daniels is riding high right now, but he hasn’t faced a defense like Utah’s yet. Utah will give them fits, but ASU plays well enough to cover. Utah wins 32-24

Wow, that line moved fast. And FPI is high on Utah as well, which is weird.

The FPI says good things about the rest of the year for Utah. Washington will be a challenge, but I am pretty sure that moved up 10% in Utah’s favor this week.
