2006 STARTER: Brett Ratliff graduated after 15 games as Utah's starter.
ANTICIPATED 2007 STARTER: Junior Brian Johnson, who was fourth in the nation in total offense as a sophomore, is back after missing all of 2006 while recovering from knee surgery.
OTHER UTAH QUARTERBACKS: Tommy Grady, former Oklahoma signal caller, is back for his senior season.
Chad Manis, sophomore is a junior college transfer. Participated in spring ball but may redshirt this season.

Kyle Bowen, former Alta Hawk is walk-on who just returned from an LDS Church mission.
OUTLOOK: Johnson is firmly entrenched as the starter. Grady is solidified as the No. 2.
