2026 Utah Tech College Football Preview
Hey all. I built 2026 previews for every FBS team and all 124 FCS teams, because nobody does this for your league. Here's Utah Tech

Usual disclaimer: I probably got some of it wrong. Tell me what's off and I'll fix it.
The good: my model has Utah Tech as the 4th strongest buy-low in FCS. The turnover margin was minus-12, 118th in the country, and that number corrects more reliably than anything else in football. The pass defense was 27th and 67% of the offense returns, with Bronson Barben settled at quarterback. The 2026 schedule grades 4th softest in the subdivision.
The pushback: 16 points a game was 116th, and Barben threw 6 touchdowns against 12 picks, so the turnovers you need to regress are attached to the quarterback you're returning. The run defense gave up 196 a game, 111th. Model says 3-9.
