On the agenda for the Utes

Published: Sunday, Aug. 6 2006 12:00 a.m. MDT

Five pressing questions the Utes need to address in fall camp:

Choose a starting quarterback: The Utes have a decision to make with Brett Ratliff, Brian Johnson and Oklahoma transfer Tommy Grady competing for the job.

Backfield in motion: Finding a replacement for 1,000-yard rusher Quinton Ganther is a priority. Former USC tailback Darryl Poston is the front-runner entering camp.

Center of attention: Jesse Boone's departure to the NFL means the Utes need to find a new starting center. Kyle Gunther and Jeremy Inferrea are the top candidates.

In the trenches: Utah has high hopes seniors Kelly Talavou and Paul Soliai can offset the loss of former Fiesta Bowl MVP Steve Fifita.

Where's Weddle? Can all-American candidate Eric Weddle, primarily a defensive back, continue to contribute at other positions and stay healthy?
