The charmed life of the Utah Utes is in full bloom these days.
How else do you explain them sitting back and watching a wild college football weekend just like any other fan, then waking up when the dust settled to learn they moved up in the rankings?
On a bye week, the Utes moved from No. 10 to No. 5 in the rankings and took over first place in the Pac-12.
Imagine what’s possible when they actually play?
Call it the power of blitzing Oregon in Eugene the week before, and of sprinting to an undefeated record while flashing a punishing defense and an improved offense under quarterback Travis Wilson.
