Utah plans to contain dual-threat Idaho quarterback Joshua Wood inside the pocket after he produced more than 400 total yards and two touchdowns in the Vandals' opener.

Idaho allowed more than 310 passing yards and four touchdowns to Cal Poly, creating a favorable opening matchup for Utah's deep transfer-heavy receiver room and healthy quarterback Devon Dampier.

The preview expects Utah to control both lines of scrimmage because Idaho does not possess top-five Big Sky trench talent.

Ball security remains Utah's main self-inflicted risk because Wayshawn Parker and Creed Whittemore have experienced fumbling issues and Arkansas follows in Week 2.

The article projects Utah to win 58-13, with Ficklin receiving first-half and third-quarter quarterback work before Brandon Rose plays in the fourth quarter.
