It's Official Utes to open 2008 at Michigan

The speculation finally ended. The University of Utah will open up next season August 30, 2008 at University of Michigan. The Salt Lake Tribune and blocku.com is where this information came from. This would move the Washington State back to later to the year and most likely drop the local game against I-AA Weber State. I am planning now to go to that game.

I guess if at the end of the season they want to be compared to the big dogs may as well play it out early on. As an Iowa guy I would be happy to see the Utes pull that one out.

Wouldn’t be surprised, but I think the defense will do the job. The offense next year for the Wolverines will be pretty young and sputter a bit.

It’ll be lower scoring with Utah still in it by the 4th quarter.

No way the Ute offense is going to be AMAZING this year and next. Look for them to put up at least 30 per game. Just a side note ALL of the Utes WR’s, 3 of the RB’s and the QB Brian Johnson will be back. Not saying it will be a blow out but the Utes will light up the scoreboard at Michigan
