Seven field goal attempts, 17 tackles for loss, and two overtimes of bonus football!

And yes, Utah is third in Adj. Sack Rate, first in passing downs sack rate, and 11th in overall Havoc Rate. They're also 15th in IsoPPP (big-play prevention) and first in Special Teams F/+. The offense stinks, sure, but we should maybe be taking the Utes a bit more seriously in the Pac-12 South race ... not as the front-runner (because: stinky offense), but as a player.
