The Arkansas Razorbacks (1-0, 0-0 SEC) travel to Salt Lake City this weekend to take on No. 20 Utah (1-0, 0-0 Big 12) for the first ever meeting between the schools, and while both teams have new head coaches, Utah's Morgan Scalley has been with the Utes for the better part of two decades and has his team hungry for a shot at the Big 12 title. Yes, both teams have brought in new players at key positions, but Arkansas had to makeover most of their roster after last season. That is about where the similarities end for these two teams.  Utah dominated FCS member Idaho last week 66-14 and racked up 633 yards of offense. They have returning starter at quarterback and two-headed monster at running back. Their defense has a cute nickname, Sack Lake City. The Razorbacks need this win for the good of Hog fans everywhere. There was a lot of hope in this game before the season. Some medis personalities picked Arkansas to win. Then came the season openers for each team. One looked polished and disciplined. The other looked timid and sloppy.  Razorback offensive coordinator Tim Cramsey is hoping his unit has flushed the mistakes and are ready to perform on a nationally televised stage. "My optimism, my hope, is all that stuff is out of us and we're on to Week 2. I hate the term 'Week 1 stuff' but there was a lot of it and we've got to get rid of it going into this week." Head coach Ryan Silverfield knows his team will be facing a tall task on the road in a hostile environment, but they have been working on getting ready for anything this week in practice. "Yeah we know it's going to be a sellout crowd," Silverfield said. "We will obviously be using crowd noise and preparing to the best of our ability for it just like anything. It's no different than us practicing in our own stadium in the heat. There's nothing like an actual live bullet of it, so we'll get a feel for it. Hopefully we're doing what we need to this week to prepare for it." Here are Five Burning Questions and Keys to Victory for the Hogs as they get set fortheir first road test of the year at Utah.
