SALT LAKE CITY — With BYU and Utah opening fall football camp this week, it's time to look ahead to the toughened schedules of both teams to find where their seasons are likely to be defined.
While it's easy to point to the toughest, or most high-profile names over a stretch of the season and define that as the most pivotal, it's highly unlikely that either BYU or Utah are able to accrue a large number of wins against traditionally better opponents. For example, with BYU starting the season on the road at Nebraska, returning home against Boise State, then traveling to UCLA and Michigan, it's unfair to hang the Cougars' season on the success against these historically good teams.
