ASU (4-4, 2-3 in Pac-12 play) picked up its first road win of the season last week, beating USC 38-35 at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. That win snapped the Trojans' 19-game home winning streak. More importantly, it kept ASU's hopes for a Pac-12 South title berth and a bowl game alive.
The ASU coaching brain trust believes Utah (6-2, 4-2) is the toughest foe it will see this season.
Utah (No. 14 AP, No. 16 Amway Coaches Poll) has won four straight games and is averaging 41 points in that stretch. It is coming off a 41-10 thrashing of UCLA.
