The Utes offense will still have key players at skill positions to integrate into the offense during preseason camp, but it has shown signs of being more formidable than last season based solely upon the improvement of several first-time starters.
Quarterback Tyler Huntley, who won the starting job last season as a junior, looked sharp and accurate throwing the ball, particularly early, in Saturday’s second scrimmage of the preseason on a rainy day at Rice-Eccles Stadium.
Huntley passed for more than 70 yards and completed a pair of touchdown passes, including one to wide receiver Jaylen Dixon, who was the offensive standout of the day.
