As a state school, it can't promote itself as being a church school, but there is a large percentage of students that are LDS at Utah. There is also the LDS student association that is on campus and the LDS Institute of Religion.
Other than the Honor Code, I'm not aware of anything the U can't offer a Mormon that BYU can.

A large part of what you say is true, but you ignore the hostile staff segment of the U. That exists as well. That element will prevent a full embrace by local members. It's also part of its appeal, it does not fully embrace the Church, so in a way it courts that element.
