Utah at Stanford

Utah still has the #4 defense in the country in yards allowed even after its loss at Washington State and the Utes have stayed UNDER two of their three games against FBS schools this season. Utah allows only 268.5 yards per game and 16.3 points and it catches Stanford in a tough scheduling situation as the Cardinal traveled to South Bend and lost to Notre Dame following an emotional overtime win over Oregon the week before. Stanford managed only three points in the second half against the Irish and KJ Costello was 15-of-27 for 174 yards with a touchdown and interception. The Cardinal defense was torched for 550 total yards by the Irish offense and Ian Book had a field day completing 24-of-33 passes for 278 yards and four TD passes with no picks.  Utah doesn't have an explosive offense, but it has a good opportunity in this situation to score enough to get a win. Also, the Utes are in revenge after losing a close one in last year's meeting as Stanford pulled out a 23-20 win at Salt Lake City. Star running back, Bryce Love, is questionable with an ankle injury and will probably be a game-time decision. This is a prime spot for the road underdog, so play Utah on the moneyline.
