I agree with pittjd. I don't mean any disrespect to your site or reporters, but there are material items in that review that are just flat out incorrect. The main one is that Diaz and Fieger are pushing Jacobson for the starting guard job. Diaz hasn't been with the team for all of camp and Fieger has not practiced with the OL for a year (he's strictly a long snapper). Jacobson has had the LG job locked up since the Car Care Bowl, where he graded out very well against a UNC DL that featured no less than 3 future NFL players (2 likely 1st round picks).
As for the rest, I understand that it is your job to follow Utah and not Pitt, so I recognize that you may be ignorant to some aspects of our team just like we are sure to be ignorant about some aspects of your team. It's only natural to know much more about the team that you follow on a daily basis. I will say that at worst, our WRs are a push. Baldwin alone provides for that. He's one of the 3 best WRs in the nation, and I fully believe that our WRs will see addition by subtraction this year with the loss of 2 senior WRs. Those 2 WRs limited the opportunities for the younger guys who are much more talented for much of last season. Shannahan had a broken hand to start last year, but I think he's a very above average #2. Saddler is an ideal slot guy... in fact I think he would be amazing in your offense, the kind of guy that you want to get the ball in space.
All in all, I think you guys are very talented and VERY well coached. I will say that if you as fans or the team thinks that this is the same team that walked into the Fiesta Bowl a few years back, that you are in for a surprise. Regardless, I think this will be a very good game and I think the biggest key will be our C-RG against your interior DL. I'm not at all worried about our tackles or Jacobson, but if our C-RG allows penetration, that will disrupt everything and stop plays before they even get started. Good luck, but not too much.
