PREVIEW: This will be the sixth meeting since 2010 between these 2 teams and Utah has won the last five including last year in the Las Vegas bowl where they scored 35 points in the first quarter and BYU never got back in the game until it was too late. Both teams had wins last week with BYU having a balanced offense that ran and passed for over 200 yards each. They almost blew the game and had to win with a last minute field goal after allowing Arizona to score two fourth quarter TD’s. While the Utes shut down So Utah 24-0 behind QB Troy Williams’ 272 yards passing and 2 TD’s. This line opened up at around five but has dropped to the current number and the public is split almost 50-50 on the betting while the total is having the same result. You can be sure BYU will be looking for revenge but remember that Utah is 18-1 in non-conference games since joining the PAC 12 in 2011.
