Post Game Thoughts: Rising Higher Edition
Winning is more fun than losing. Winning by a decisive margin in a game that was never in question for a single solitary second is even yet still more fun. Utah kicked off its season in style, beating an overmatched FCS opponent in Southern Utah 49-0. This game was a coming back party for Cam Rising, Brant Kuithe, Van Fillinger, and a number of others. And it was a coming out party for Dijon Stanley. Yes, the Thunderbirds were overmatched. Yet there was much to like about what the Utes put on display. Let's take a closer look:

The Prediction: Washington vs. Weber State
Weber State @ Washington (-27) Well, here we are again. After a tumultuous offseason, it’s time to put all of the speculation to rest and go out and hit somebody for a change! Now, there are a lot of questions about this team, and rightfully so.

Thanks to my interview with Damon Huard, I have a small idea of what to expect from the offense: running the ball and plenty of the quick passing game. Just how effective that will be remains to be seen, but I think this game will tell us a lot about this offense, schematically speaking. It’ll be different, and we’ll have to get off to a fast start for me to be convinced that the O is for real.
