KALL 700 SPORTS :: KEYS TO THE GAME!

The Utes need to keep focused on this game and not look ahead to the Cougars…
Keep control of the ball… San Diego State QB is capable of putting a good passing drive together…
San Diego State is very limited on offense.. Should the Utes stop the passing game the Axtecs don’t have much to offer in a running game… Avg. 71 yards per game rushing…
Expect big scoring quarters in the second and fourth quarters… Get opportunity to try some new things on offense and defense… Get some younger talent some playing time and keep the vets fresh..
The Utes will need to watch for the unexpected. San Diego State will look for opportunities to catch the Utes off guard with a fake punt or halfback pass…
San Diego States DL and LB can be quick on their reads, B. Johnson will need to stay focused and be prepared to scramble to avoid the sack…
Utah’s D-backs need to play fundamental football and not try to pick off every pass that might lead to a San Diego State score…
Top San Diego defensive players the Utes will need to keep contained… #46 Russell Allen, #40 Core Boudreaux, #90 B.J. Williams and #35 Luke Laolagi…
