Episode Description

Utah football is 4–0, but how much should expectations rise? Steve Bartle and Josh Bennett deliver a bye-week stock report on the Utes, examining who they’re buying, who they’re holding and what still needs to improve before the toughest Big 12 tests arrive.

Devon Dampier’s development and Wayshawn Parker’s playmaking have fueled confidence in the offense. The defense has been stingy, but can Utah generate enough pressure with four rushers against better quarterbacks?

In this episode:
• Rising stock: Cedric Jefferson, Cyrus Polu, Lance Holtzclaw and Utah’s running backs
• Why Dampier still has room to elevate his game
• Offensive line development and the biggest defensive question
• The different tests Kansas, Colorado, Houston and Cincinnati will present
• Why 10 or 11 wins feels increasingly realistic in Morgan Scalley’s first season

Plus, the Big 12 games worth watching while Utah is idle.

Which Utah player are you buying stock in—and how many games do you expect the Utes to win? Drop your picks in the comments and subscribe to Utah Blockcast for more Utah football analysis.
