After giving up an average of 529 yards and 42 points in two consecutive games, against UCLA and USC, Utah rediscovered itself in a 21-17 win over Washington State. The Utes generated four sacks and 10 tackles for loss while limiting the Cougars to 264 yards on just 50 plays.
Utah steps into Saturday’s game against Arizona ranked No.1 in the Pac-12 in total defense. The Utes give up just 339.4 yards per game, and they have allowed 135 total first downs in eight games. They are the only team in the Pac-12 to rank among the top 30 teams in the FBS in both total defense and total offense.
JefeBet Prediction
There is no doubt that the home team will be in its best condition for this Salt Lake City clash against an opponent with a battered confidence. We expect the Utah Utes to celebrate a win, and the Arizona Wildcats to return home with a lot to work with.
Prediction: Utah Utes win by 25 points.
