SALT LAKE CITY — Throughout fall camp, Utah's defense was touted as one of the best in school history — maybe even better than the 2008 defense, if such a thing were possible. But unfortunately, potential alone is not good enough in real-game situations.
Following Utah's 24-17 win over Michigan, questions abound about the defense and whether it was living up to its potential given that Utah failed to get to the quarterback (no sacks — gasp!) and the secondary had several moments of getting beat by Michigan receivers. How could Utah continue to champion #SackLakeCity moving forward if there were no actual sacks to be had?
