Bill Riley: Friday Morning Quarterback: Lots to like in Utah's season opener

SALT LAKE CITY — The setting was ideal Thursday night in Salt Lake City — perfect weather and a sellout crowd for the opener against a lesser opponent.

It all set up well for Utah, except for one thing: some offensive rust. Utah dug itself into a 10-0 deficit against Weber State before the offense woke up and scored 41 unanswered points in a 41-10 win in the 2018 opener.

It was a game where the stat sheet could be a little misleading. Utah turned the ball over four times and didn't force a single turnover against the Wildcats.
