How good is Utah?
"They are a potential national-championship caliber team. Some people may question that, but they are playing good football and are as good as any team in the nation."
That was not the undefeated Utes' marketing director talking. It was John Robinson, who won four Rose Bowls and a national championship while coaching
USC.
"They're definitely a top-10 football team," said Arizona coach Mike Stoops, whose team got waxed by Utah 23-6 in Tucson. "They are well-coached, they're offense is well-conceived, and I think their quarterback (Alex Smith) is one of the great quarterbacks."
What makes Utah's offense so unusual, Stoops said, is the Utes' ability to combine an option running game with a productive passing game, something that seems impossible until Utah shows how it's done.

Yeah, we get it. Utah is a good football team. Congrats. |

No one ever said the "experts" were smart. |
