Overall, 10-3 is not bad. Though I would have preferred 11-2 :)
Bottom line, with new quarterbacks, new offensive and defensive coordinators, and the loss of many impact players... many would have called this a rebuilding year. I'm not sure that we'll ever have a true rebuilding year as long as Coach Whit is at the helm. He does great with consistency year-to-year. Always has. His defense was always the most consistent in the conference. No matter who we lost, next year's defense was always solid. And that is why I'm not too worried about next year's defense. We lose some great players. True. But I'm not that worried.
Just one criticism... The defense did seem to over-pursue too much. It seemed that we got burned by the big play too often. And the big play was almost always caused by over-pursuit on the defense. Too many "broken" plays given up. That needs to be patched up. Stay in your lanes. Stay in your assignment.
Go Utes!
