Utes visit Lobos in first road game

In college football tonight, the 14th ranked Utah Utes (2-0, 1-0 Mountain West Conference) visit the New Mexico Lobos (0-2, 0-0 MWC) at 6 p.m. at University Stadium in Albuquerque. The game will be televised on the mtn. which is channels 616 and 616-1 (HD) on DirecTV and channel 37 on Comcast in the Salt Lake City area.

Terrance Cain is once again expected to get the start for the Utes in place of Jordan Wynn who is nursing an injured thumb. Cain looked solid against UNLV last week and I expect more of the same tonight. The Utes' defense has looked really strong in the first two games of the year and I expect them to have little trouble with New Mexico, which is coming off a 1-win season last year and has looked horrible in their first two games. The Lobos lost 72-0 at Oregon in their first game and dropped their home opener last week to Texas Tech 52-17.

I expect the Utes to win big tonight. New Mexico has really struggled under new coach Mike Locksley who is in his second year. I expect those struggles will continue tonight. Utah should by three touchdowns at a bare minimum and probably will win by more than that.
