Utah's defense wasn't bad last year, particularly when you consider it was supported by an anemic offense. But there was a decided lack of big plays that transferred momentum to the team in red.Here are two telling measures. Utah forced just 22 turnovers. That ranked 10th in the conference. Six Pac-12 teams forced more than 30. Opposing offenses scored touchdowns on 31 of 43 red zone trips -- 72 percent. The only conference team that was worse was woeful Colorado.
