SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -- Quarterback Jordan Wynn showed up for Utah's kickoff press conference sporting thick black frames, prompting one reporter to ask if the NBA-style, geek-chic eyeglasses were real.

Wynn assured everyone they were -- for a bad right eye that requires contact lenses in games.

Glasses or not, Wynn is smart enough to know the focus once again will be on his surgically repaired shoulders Thursday when the Utes open their season at home against Big Sky doormat Northern Colorado.

He said he feels the best-ever coming off injury, and perhaps better than even before the injuries occurred.

The Utes are seeking to improve to 35-0 all-time against Big Sky schools.
