Game of Throws podcast: Does the Utes’ big win over UCLA actually mean anything?

(Chris Detrick | The Salt Lake Tribune) Utah Utes running back Zack Moss (2) is tackled by UCLA Bruins defensive back Will Lockett (23) and UCLA Bruins defensive back Adarius Pickett (6) during the game at Rice-Eccles Stadium Friday, November 3, 2017. Utah Utes defeated UCLA Bruins 48-17.


A 31-point victory is never a bad thing. But in the case of Utah’s lopsided win over UCLA last weekend, is it a sign that the Utes are back on track?

On this week’s episode of Game of Throws, The Tribune’s Utah football podcast, we discuss some reasons for hope — and some reasons to remain skeptical — as Utah moves toward a matchup with Luke Falk and Washington State.

At 3:30 — The reason why offensive coordinator Troy Taylor got the game ball after the win over the Bruins.

At 5:25 — Where does Luke Falk rank among the quarterbacks Utah will face this season?

At 12:20 — With Marquise Blair out for the season, how does the Utah secondary respond? And can they slow down Falk and the Cougars’ passing attack?

At 16:10 — What happened to Sack Lake City?

At 19:30 — The highs and lows of talking to Mike Leach.

At 24:20 — Does the Pac-12 have a targeting problem?
