The season is teetering on the edge right now for the Utah football program, after an embarrassingly bad offensive performance against San Diego State for the first 3 1⁄2 quarters of the game. Now at 1-2 on the season, and losing two games to G5 programs has this season at Defcon 1.
The issues, I think, begin and end with the offensive line. Sure, there are some issues defensively, but if the offense can generate some yardage and first downs then the defense can play looser. Right now the margin for error is zero.
