SALT LAKE CITY — For the first time in the last decade, The Utah Utes did not qualify for a bowl game and the 2013 Utes are aiming to change that.
"We need to win now, there isn't time to rebuild, we need to win now." Utah defensive end Trevor Reilly said at PAC-12 media day.
In order to turn the tide the Utes needed a change on offense. Long time head coach Dennis Erickson was brought on the staff to instill some big play potential and confidence on that side of the ball.
Travis Wilson will need to take the next step and become a force at quarterback for the Utes to be successful.
On the defensive side of the ball there were two major concerns that needed to be cleaned up. The red-zone defense needs to be more stout and Utah needs to find a way to turn over the high-octane offenses of the PAC-12 conference.
