BOULDER — Colorado head coach Mike MacIntyre doesn't hesitate when asked what stands out about the Utah Utes, who pay a visit Saturday to Folsom Field for an 11:30 a.m. contest (Pac-12 Networks).
"They're extremely big up front on both sides of the ball," MacIntyre said. "That's where you see a huge difference in them, defensively and offensively, is their lines are so powerful."
Indeed, the Utes (7-3 overall, 5-3 Pac-12) occupy plenty of real estate in the trenches. Defensively, they boast a pair of 300-pound defensive tackles; on the offensive side, four of their five starters are at least 313 pounds (the starting center checks in at a svelte 295).
