Former Utah head coach Ron McBride revealed in a radio interview with KSL in Salt Lake City that he believes Isaac Wilson will be unavailable for the Utes’ game against No. 18 Colorado on Saturday due to illness.

Another thing to watch for — how does Utah’s offensive line hold up against a revamped Colorado defensive front that has turned into one of the nation’s best. The Buffaloes have sacked opposing quarterbacks 29 times this season — No. 6 nationally and the best in the Big 12.

The Utes seem ripe for the picking, especially given the movement of the betting line, but this will be a tough game for CU. Utah still brings its normal style of smashmouth football and the No. 1 defense in the conference to Boulder. Can the Buffs' improvements in the trenches stand up to the brand of Utah football?
