For all of the offensive woes this season for the Utes, Utah’s defense won it — and kept it in — games when the other side of the ball was faltering. Utah allowed just 19.3 points per game this season, ranking No. 21 in the NCAA. Against some of the best quarterbacks in college football, the Utes allowed 224.4 passing yards per game (65th in the country) and only 82.8 rushing yards per game (fourth in the country).
