Utah football must make do without Travis Wilson starting at Fresno State

Through two games, does Utah look better, worse or the same as last season? Where do they look better? Where do they look worse?

Avinash Kunnath: The Travis Wilson injury really throws the Utes for a loop. They have proven they can play well with Kendal Thompson but they are an entirely different team with him manning the backfield--decent in the spread but not quite as punishing physically. Losing Hunter Dimick for who knows how long is also not ideal. The Utes are going to have a dangerous trap game in Fresno before they head up to Autzen, but I'd have to say that if Wilson is out for awhile, Utah is going to struggle to match their nine win pace of last year.
