Going into the bye, and off of the loss to Washington, there was a bad taste in my mouth for the offense, and I’m hoping this game against Washington State can be a pallet cleanser. It’s a big game for the Utes, and here are the keys for Utah to walk away with the win.
Hold Wazzu to field goals
Washington State is going to move the ball, that’s what they do under Mike Leach. What Utah needs to do is keep them out of the end zone and only give up field goals. Utah also can’t get frustrated when Wazzu picks up some 3rd downs, as long as they play the long game in this and keep Wazzu out of the end zone, they can walk away with the win.
