Utes Roderick visits Mississippi State coach Dan Mullen about improving the running game

There isn't anybody I'd rather have Roderick visiting about playbooks with. As far as I'm concerned, Mullen is one of the best. With two outstanding backs and a better than usual offensive line this year, Utah's running game had better be good. Utah's running game has gotten to the point where you can tell they're trying to generate yardage by "out scheming" and thinking too much. I'd like to see a smash-mouth running game a la 2004. Say what you want about McBride, but the Utes always had a smashmouth running back and running game during his years at the helm. If Asiata can actually stay healthy this year (an admittedly big IF), then I like our chances.
