For Utah to get back to the Pac-12 championship game, it needs to survive October. A four-game gauntlet of Oregon State, UCLA, USC, and Washington State. Saturday afternoon represented one October obstacle down for these Utes.

The passing attack without Brant Kuithe, a conundrum at running back, Clark Phillips III’s career day, and more

but what the offense was going to do to recalibrate. Kuithe, an All-Pac-12 tight end, was Utah’s leading pass catcher, not to mention a clear security blanket at times for Cam Rising. He took care of the ball, he made good decisions, he ran for 73 yards and a score. Some of that running was on designed keepers, some of it came on scrambles when a play broke down, but all of it was effective.

I asked Whittingham how concerned he was about his rushing attack, which went for 205 yards at Arizona State, but had to go away from Thomas in the first half when he was suspended. Two thoughts: One, if Thomas is healthy, engaged and available, he remains the best every-down option. Two, with Kuithe out and Utah needing pass-catching options, Bernard checks that box better than the rest of the running backs.I spent a good chunk of the game story on Clark Phillips III and his career-high three interceptions, but it needs to be addressed here as well.

• Had RJ Hubert not picked off Ben Gulbranson in the end zone late in the third quarter, Phillips was behind the play, and may have been able to haul in what would have been at the time his third interception.
