Tell the whole story. Thus far, Utah has had the cakiest schedule in the conference. Only one team they’ve play (Arizona St) has a winning record. They’ve played ( and lost to) the other two bottom teams in the conference. They’ve also lost to Houston before their recent uptick.
I’m not saying the game won’t be close. Whitt is a legitimately good coach and the Utes will be fired up - this is the only thing left in their season to save a semblance of pride, so they’ll come punching. What I AM saying is that their defense is not truly elite. As a team they have been really bad. You can’t have the record they do and have an elite defense.
I expect BYU to come punching too. The talent level on BYU is much higher this year. They have it figured out. First quarter fury with both sides’ lines trying to establish dominance, and BYU pulls soundly away second half. That’s my prediction.
