So, in less than 48 hours we will be playing our in-state rival, Weber State. I watched Weber a lot this spring because they were the only game in town. My thoughts:
Their offense started out okay but they struggled to put points on the board late in the season. They have a good RB, but he will be running into our strength. I didn’t see much of a passing attack.
I think Weber’s defense got them to the playoffs. They had a number of very close games, that they pulled out. They didn’t see any offense close to being as potent as we “should” be.
If I remember correctly, when we played the Wildcats last, they only got three first downs. I am not sure we can repeat that, but I would be surprised if they get to double-digit first downs.
KW will not try to RUTS his old buddy Coach Hill. However, he needs to give some playing time to both QBs and a stable of RBs. So, I expect we will score around 40 points.
Go Utes!!!
