It wasn’t the prettiest start for the Utes, at least on offense, but they eventually got things rolling and closed out the non-conference schedule 3-0. A game like this makes for a good clean up game for the Utes, and while it wasn’t the cleanest game for the Utes, it was a drastic improvement over what we’ve seen thus far this season. Let’s grade them out.
Offense: B
After 500 yards of offense and 54 points, you can’t be overly picky, but there was plenty of room for improvement. First, in the first quarter the Utes had multiple opportunities to bury the Spartans, but couldn’t quite do it, fizzling out in the red zone again.
