With the PAC-12 South title clinched, the Utes are headed to Santa Clara next week, but before they can do that, Utah’s oldest and fiercest rival will attempt to play upset and spoil the party. The Cougars of Brigham Young University will enter the hollowed grounds of Rice-Eccles Stadium as a 12-point underdog with only a 10.9% chance to win according to ESPN’s Matchup Predictor, but with a rivalry as storied as it is vicious, numerical advantages might as well be tossed aside.
Statistically speaking, the Cougars will be fielding the worst offense the Utes have faced since they traveled to DeKalb, Illinois in week two where they defeated Northern Illinois 17-6.
