College football preview 2010--Part IV Utah Utes

questions for the 2010 Season
-Can the Utes avoid the let-down in their last MWC season?
-Sophomore Slump for Jordan Wynn?
-Can Kyle Whittingham replace all of the key players lost from last year's defense? (Six starters from last season have moved on.)

2010 Schedule and Predicted Results
September 2: Pittsburgh (Win)
September 11: UNLV (Win)
September 18: @New Mexico (Win)
September 25: San Jose State (Win)
October 2: (BYE)
October 9: @Iowa State (Win)
October 16: @Wyoming (Win)
October 23: Colorado State (Win)
October 30: @Air Force (Win)
November 6: TCU (Loss)
November 13: @Notre Dame (Loss)
November 20: @San Diego State (Win)
November 27: BYU (Win)

Outlook. The MWC game of the year will be November 6 at Rice Eccles Stadium when TCU visits. Both teams will likely be unbeaten when this game kicks off. Just because I think the Utes will finish 10-2 and go to the Las Vegas Bowl, does not mean that all of these games will be easy. The rest of the conference teams will be gunning for the Utes this year. With so much inexperience on defense, offenses will try and test the newbies, especially the secondary, where three of the four starters will be new. But the Utes have all of the tools they will need on offense. Expect a shootout or two.

Coming next--the Mountain West Conference.
