Last year was one of much-needed improvement for the Utes. The team challenged for a PAC-12 South crown through nearly the entire season, and made national headlines with its defense and special teams. With most of the team returning, fans are excited for 2015. How much improvement should we expect? Let's try to answer that question the only way I know how: statistically!
What can we expect, statistically, in 2015? The Utes are losing their top defensive stars but returning a lot of talent otherwise, and most of the offense is coming back too. Normally this would be cause for celebration, but doubts linger about whether Travis Wilson or Kendal Thompson have the skills needed to lead this team to compete for the PAC 12 south crown.
