Utah made one of the surprise moves of the preseason. Head coach Kyle Whittingham named sophomore Tyler Huntley starting quarterback over senior captain Troy Williams. The departure of Joe Williams meant Troy was the leader.

Williams should have been the Utah offensive spark. It’s in the hands of Huntley and running back Zack Moss. Oregon transfer Darren Carrington starts at receiver after his dismissal due to a DUI charge. Samson Nacua and Raelon Singleton will have big years.

The Utes were a tough opponent for Washington last year. The Huskies defeated Utah in Salt Lake City. Browning has a tough test against Utah’s secondary. Utah has one of the better Pac-12 defenses.

Browning’s Heisman campaign builds with solid performances against teams like this. Last year he showed what he can do against Utah on the national stage. A second consecutive victory against Utah is huge.
