I’m on the Utes in this one. I get that it’s a rivalry game for these two teams, but Utah is just so much better from a talent perspective than Utah State is, and the Utes are running this multi-QB system to absolute perfection right now and it makes the Utes a sneaky dangerous team in the Big 12 in my opinion. I think the Utes take care of business in this one, so I’m backing Utah in this one.
