Wilson is already second in school history in both career quarterback starts (27) and games played (34) behind Brian Johnson (33 starts in three seasons and 44 games played in four seasons from 2004-08) … Three first-team All-Pac-12 selections return: senior running back Devontae Booker, senior punter Tom Hackett and junior kicker Andy Phillips … Hackett, a consensus All-American last year, became the first Ray Guy Award winner in school and Pac-12 Conference history … Eight Utes were named to preseason watch lists.
