Well, Wilson started slow, but got his footing. He had some really encouraging moments. Having Rising Jack next week will be big though, even though Whittingham probably won’t tip his hand on that.

Wilson was the first true freshman QB to threw for 3 TDs in his first start. He also threw for nearly 250 yards, finishing with 239.

Micah Bernard (102 yards) and Mike Mitchell (75 yards) will be a potent 1-2 RB punch. Both had great games today, but Utah’s goal line blocking needs to get better for them.

Utah has an embarrassment of riches as receiving targets and that’s not on full display just yet.

The defense started slow, but some of that had to do with the offense not sustaining early drives and the D having to be back out fast. Still not a good excuse.

Van Fillinger led the defense in tackles, something that’s pretty awesome for a defensive lineman. He the defensive MVP of the season so far.

Get used to hearing the name Cam Calhoun. He’s going to be special. That was an impressive INT today.

Credit to Bryson Barnes, the Pig Farmer came to play, but Wilson outfield him.

Lets hear from everyone else…
