Official PAC 12 Football Thread 2012

[E.J.]

Last year Utah was in this same place 2-2(1-2 against FBS opponents). Their FBS opponents; BYU(10-3), USC(10-2) and Washington(7-6). The Utes were averaging 404 yards of offense and 23 points a game. You would think that a schedule that was close to equal, many may consider it a bit easier(Utah State for USC, Washington and ASU being even), Utah is averaging 282 yards of offense and 15 points a game.... SIGNIFICANT drop off and playing with 9 returning starters on offense(granted, John White did not play against BYU, but that was a win and they were only 13 yards off their best offensive production of the year).

I'm going to give you 2 guesses - what is the significant difference in the 2012 team, from the 2012 team?


** I consider Jon Hays a starter, as he started 9 games last year and won a bowl game as their starter.
