  Yes this is not the AP poll and is way-to-early but it does show the Utes are getting some national recognition.
  
  Utah is at #16. The loss in the Holiday Bowl didnt hurt the Utes too bad.

  Their preview ignores the transfer of Manny Bowen. The B-Bs are gonna step up.

    LB will be solid next year. Bowen and Bernard will keep it humming.

      Also, I think Lloyd and Pirtle make names for themselves as well. And Lund. We are pretty stacked at LB.
      
      And Mata’afa. And Thompson.

  Who replaces Blair and Ballard? Safety worries me.

    Blackmon needs to move back there. Utah tends to reload so I am not worried.
    
    Oline will be the biggest question mark or possibly Wideout. As much as we want to bad mouth Shelley it is a joke how many drops and tips they cause. Weakest position group on the team.

      O line depth will be the big issue. Finding 3 new quality starters can maybe be done if we are lucky, but their backups are a different story.
      
      Receivers are a dumpster fire outside of Covey and possibly Dixon. And even these two are both undersized and have the dropsies (IMO these two issues are connected by both being justifiably concerned about getting wiped out on inside routes of any kind). Our best hope here is Enis or Thompson growing into a true #1 role.
