Who’s Playing
UCLA Bruins (home) vs. Utah Utes (away)
Current records: UCLA 2-5; Utah 5-2
What to Know
Utah will be playing 60 minutes this week, but they’re expected to have things wrapped up well before that. They will square off against UCLA at 10:30 p.m. on Friday. Utah knows how to get points on the board — the squad has finished with flashy point totals in its past three matchups — so hopefully UCLA like a good challenge.
When you finish with 341 more yards than your opponent, a favorable outcome is almost sure to follow. Utah walked away with a 41-28 win over USC. Among those leading the charge for Utah was Tyler Huntley, who passed for 341 yards and 4 touchdowns. If you haven’t heard Huntley’s name lately, then you haven’t been paying much attention: he has loomed large in their past three games.
Meanwhile, UCLA dodged a bullet last Saturday, finishing off Arizona 31-30. The success made it back-to-back wins for UCLA.
Everything went Utah’s way against UCLA the last time the two teams met as they made off with a 48-17 victory. The rematch might be a little tougher for Utah since the team won’t have home-field advantage. We’ll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
