Arizona’s been the worst team in the Pac 12 and Utah is consistently dominating bad teams. Utah just beat UCLA by 46, Cal by 35, and Oregon St by 45 in October. Arizona’s defense is terrible and they just lost to Oregon by 28 right after giving up 56 points to Oregon State. Arizona is playing with no confidence right now and Utah should do whatever they want on offense – Tyler Huntley should move the ball on this defense consistently and the run game of Zach Moss, Devonta’e Henry-Cole, and Devin Brumfield should move the chains on the ground. Arizona has given up 44.6 ppg their last 5 games and Utah averages 207 rush yards per game. Utah is ranked 7th in the College Football Playoff rankings and they know they have a shot at the 4th spot if they win out and beat Oregon in the Pac 12 Championship. They’ve shown no signs of slowing down, have a dominant defense, and Arizona’s offense has been nothing like expected with Khalil Tate not being the player he once was and now Arizona having Tate split time with the backup quarterback. Utah’s defense is dominant and Arizona just struggled with Oregon’s defense. Arizona allowed 6 sacks in that game and now they have multiple injuries on the offensive line. The Utes should be motivated, they play Colorado next week so there’s no lookahead situation, and they have mismatches on both sides of the ball to open this game up and make it a blowout in the second half.
