The Horned Frogs enter this week 3-3 overall and 1-2 in the Big 12. After their 30-19 loss at home to the Houston Cougars, the Frogs rested with a bye week which provided more time to prepare for Saturday’s matchup with the Utah Utes.
For the Frogs to get back on track, they will have to stick to these keys to the game in Salt Lake City.and the Horned Frogs establish their brand of football early. Not only should this include a free-flowing offense that can impose the rushing game, but also a disciplined, penalty-free outlook.

He’s filled in for Rising throughout this season, but with Wilson taking the snaps, it is almost guaranteed the Utes will focus on the ground game.Turnovers have come in abundance this season for the Frogs–not in a good way.
