Three Keys for Utah to Beat BYU in the Las Vegas Bowl

We look ahead to the keys to the game for the No. 20 Utah Utes (9-3) to come out victorious over the BYU Cougars (9-3) in the Royal Purple Las Vegas Bowl. The Holy War got restarted a year early due to the bowl matchup. It is the first time the two teams have met in a bowl game and at a neutral site.

1. Establish the offense

BYU runs a bend but don't break defense. Utah will need to establish a balanced offense against BYU. In their three losses, BYU gave up at least 190 yards rushing in each game.
