Utah's revamped defense opens against Idaho quarterback Joshua Wood, who produced more than 400 total yards against Cal Poly after combining for 21 passing and rushing touchdowns last season.

Idaho returns four offensive-line starters with 83 combined starts, but its opener featured weak run blocking, frequent pressure on Wood and repeated penalties, creating a favorable trench matchup for Utah.

Utah's secondary will be tested by Tony Harste, Ryan Jezioro and Zach Card after the Idaho trio combined for 351 receiving yards and two touchdowns in the Vandals' opener.

Utah's offense draws an Idaho defense that allowed 197 rushing yards and 318 passing yards with four touchdowns against Cal Poly, including coverage busts, missed tackles and only one sack.
