Utes in review: Utah is a genuine Pac-12 South contender, after finally beating a North opponent

Palo Alto, Calif. • Utah quarterback Tyler Huntley strode into the interview room late Saturday night and delivered answers in the form of questions.

Even before taking a chair, Huntley glanced at the group and asked, “What y'all got to say about my receivers now? What y'all got to say about our offense?”

They’ve improved, judging by Utah’s 421-yard offensive effort in a 40-21 defeat of then-No. 14 Stanford, with the Ute defense providing one touchdown. That covers Huntley’s two subjects. The bigger issue is how the overall view of the Utes changes, now that they’ve beaten a Top 25 team for the first time since 2015 and broken an eight-game losing streak against Pac-12 North opponents that covered parts of three seasons.
