Both TCU and Utah find themselves in a peculiar spot at this point in the season. While both are currently on losing streaks, one is now playing for their post-season dreams. The other team fell to Houston two weeks ago. While many believe this game won't be close, the Big 12 is a wonderful and confusing conference in all the best ways. One thing is for sure: don't underestimate a TCU team with nothing to lose.

Here's the current depth chart for the Utah Utes.

Utah Depth Chart Notes

Early this week, it was announced that Cam Rising would not be the starting quarterback for Utah this weekend against the TCU Horned Frogs. Instead, freshman Isaac Wilson will get the start on Saturday night. While this is a key factor in how the Utah offense will be run, many believe that the Utah offense was always going to center around running back Micah Bernard. With TCU and its noticeable struggles against the run, don't be surprised if Bernard gets near 25 attempts on the ground.

Defensively, Utah has experience up front with three seniors near the line of scrimmage. While Utah's defensive front has been a little below average this season, the real playmakers lay in their linebacker core. Van Fillinger has been a consistent threat on blitz packages this season, even without being in the starting lineup. One of Fillinger's most notable stats is that he has 7.5 tackles for a loss, accounting for almost 50 yards behind the line of scrimmage. Look for Fillinger and Johnathan Hall to be consistently rotating in on defense. Click here for Keys to the Game.
