Defense...defense....defense. Utah is pretty dang good at it. The Utes lead the nation in run defense
averaging 76.4 yards per game. Over their last 4 games just 47 YPG...stout by any standards. They
also lead the Pac 12 Conference in total defense. I say that to point out UCLA needs to generate a running
game to stay away from third-and-long situations where Utah leads the Pac 12 in 3rd down conversions
by opponents. On offense, QB Tyler Huntley has been on fire completing 77% of his passes in wins over
Stanford, Arizona and USC. He's directed the offense to 40, 42 and 41 points during those games. Note
that Utah only gives up 17.7 points per game.
Knowing UCLA has improved greatly after an 0-5 start by winning their last two games, I just don't believe
they have the horses to hang with the Utes. I'm playing Utah -10.5 (most books) to win and cover this one.
Also playing Wyoming -2.5/3 depending on your book.
