Southern Utah safety George Ramirez defends as Utah running back Tavion Thomas fumbles the ball during the first half of an NCAA college football game, Saturday, Sept. 10, 2022, in Salt Lake City. The 12th-ranked Utes go into Thursday night's opener against Southern Utah with a 15-4 record in Game 1s under coach Kyle Whittingham, a 33-17 loss to USC in 2020 the only setback at home in his tenure.
Upgrades have been most evident on offense. Cam Rising's healthy return at quarterback coincides with new experienced targets for him downfield in USC transfer Dorian Singer and Syracuse transfer Damien Alford. Singer, who had a 1,000-yard season at Arizona two years ago before taking a step back with the Trojans a year ago, has dazzled his coaches.
Familiarity has helped with preparation. But it has also made game planning against Utah feel like climbing a mountain.
