23rd Ranked Utah Utes Travel to Battle Arizona Wildcats

Utah Utes

Utah and Zona' Will face Off Strength Against Strength


The 23rd ranked Utah Utes and the Arizona Wildcats will open their PAC-12 schedules on Friday when they meet at Arizona Stadium. The game is set for kickoff at 10:30 pm EST and will be broadcast by Fox Sports 1.

The Utes snapped a four-game losing streak to the Wildcats last season. They handled the Cats' with a 36-23 victory in Salt Lake City. They have to stop the high-powered Arizona running game to build a winning streak of their own.

Oddsmakers have Utah as a 3.5-point favorite and the total is at 61.

Utah Utes Face Zona's High Powered Running Game


Last time out for Arizona, they were a 63-16 winner as they battled Miners on the road. Arizona covered in the match as a -26-point favorite, while 79 combined points moved the game OVER for totals bettors.

Arizona has a deep group of running backs. The team is led by Nick Wilson and J.J. Taylor. Arizona sits atop the conference rushing leaders, averaging 328 yards per game. Utah is only allowing only 49.3 rushing yards per game, second nationally behind Duke. One reason Utah is so strong against the rush is standout defensive tackle Lowell Lotulelei in the middle of its defensive line.

In their last action, Utah was a 54-16 winner at home against the San Jose State Spartans. They covered the -27.5-point spread as favorites, while the combined score (70) was profitable news for OVER bettors.

Tyler Huntley is coming off a four-touchdown performance against San Jose State. Huntley took the starting job away from incumbent Troy Williams in fall practice. He has looked good as a dual threat in the Utah's new more up-tempo offense this year. The offense was implemented by coordinator Troy Taylor. He was hired from Eastern Washington after last season to spice up the attack. It worked last week as Huntley had four touchdown passes against the Spartans.
