Analysis and opinions off Utah's 14-7 win over UCLA on Saturday afternoon.
SALT LAKE CITY — To be clear, the University of Utah has a bevy of things that need fixing if it hopes to contend for a third straight Pac-12 championship, but let's put that to the side for a moment.If I told you on the morning of Aug.
Knowing that Johnson is still green and learning on the fly, Ludwig needs to use and needs to call what he believes Johnson can handle, what he believes Johnson is capable of executing. Johnson was not asked to do a lot on Saturday, but did what he was asked. He didn't turn the ball over, and he made a few throws when he had to. A 17-yard completion to Jaylon Glover on a wheel route down the left side on third-and-7, the 7-yard touchdown pass to King on third-and-5 off a bootleg, over the middle to Money Parks for 16 on third-and-7 early in the third quarter.
Rising will have the entire playbook at his disposal, and at a minimum, the threat of Rising back there means defenses can't just load up the box, which opens up the run game and helps solve some offensive line problems. Also, remember, while you can often write off gaudy numbers like that thanks to soft September scheduling, you can't do that here. Three of Utah's four wins are against Power Five competition as part of what is objectively the toughest schedule in program history.True freshman UCLA quarterback Dante Moore, who has looked every bit the five-star stud he came in as, was just 15-of-35 for 235 yards, a number that is bloated thanks to the fourth quarter.
Utah Utes defensive tackle Keanu Tanuvasa sacks UCLA Bruins quarterback Dante Moore causing a fumble in Salt Lake City on Saturday, Sept. 23, 2023. Whittingham noted postgame that Ja'Quinden Jackson has an ankle injury "that's been a hindrance for a long time." Jackson clearly didn't look right early in the game, then left late in the first half with his right shoe off. His availability for Friday night at Oregon State is unknown.
