Jon Wilner The San Jose Mercury News The midpoint of the football season’s middle month could be the end of the line for the defending Pac-12 champions.If the Utes don’t beat back USC on Saturday evening in a primetime showcase, their prospects for reaching the conference title game will shrivel.
It would take a collapse — multiple collapses, in fact — for Utah to make a return trip to Las Vegas for the conference championship game. They entered 2022 as the Pac-12 favorites and a playoff contender, but the opener — the three-point loss at Florida — exposed weakness on the margins, where titles are claimed and relinquished.
The Utes aren’t dominant on either side of the ball. They aren’t steamrolling opponents with their running game, carving them up with a play-action passing attack or suffocating them with the defensive ferocity we’ve come to expect.
