Ted Miller, the ESPN Blogger for the Pac-12 had a chat today.  Below are all Utah related Excerpts from the Chat.

Matthew (Utah)

How long before Utah can realistically be competitive in the PAC-12?

Ted Miller   (3:15 PM)

Well, which of those 2 undefeated teams wouldn't have been competitive in the Pac-10? I'd say Utah is competitive immediately.

 

 

Interesting thing about this one, is Miller has been on record saying Utes will be 6-6 this season.  Wonder if we've changed his mind a bit?

 

Sideshow (Utah)

Which team(s) are going to benefit the most/least from the divisional split this season?

Ted Miller   (3:28 PM)

Everyone in the south... and Utah has to like missing Oregon and Stanford.

Polamo, White, Langi - is it a 3 headed monster in SLC?

Ted Miller   (3:48 PM)

Seems like folks in Salt Lake are no longer worried about replacing the top 2 rushers.

 

 

Bevan (Laguna Beach)

Who will win Pac 12 south? I think ASU

Ted Miller   (3:50 PM)

that's my pick, as of today... but if USC goes its bowl back after its NCAA appeal... still up in the air.

 

 

This one doesn't specifically mention Utah, but since we all think we'll compete for that crown I mention it.

What do you think of Utah's D-Line? seems like they have some great diversity in terms of spead and strength...

Ted Miller   (3:58 PM)

My impression was positive, and the Utes coaches seemed excited... the Krugers will come on, Star Lotulelei looks like a potential all-conference sort. Good depth. Now the secondary might be challenged by a new batch of QBs.
