With the Utes opening Pac-12 play Saturday against the visiting Washington Huskies, the Deseret News’ Dirk Facer, Amy Donaldson and Trent Wood explore what is ailing the Utah offense.

The Insiders also discuss how the Pac-12 South is there for the taking, why the Utes’ ground game needs to get in gear, and what problems last week’s victory may have masked.
