SALT LAKE CITY Coming into the 2020 season, Utah was in full rebuild mode on the defensive side of the ball as nearly the entire defensive unit went to the NFL.
That rebuild, however, wasn t as dramatic as expected given the number of freshmen populating the two-deep roster. Instead, it turned into a relative strength and surprise in an unusual five-game season where the offense was expected to have a better opportunity.
