What to Watch
Which Utah State turns up. Losing to an FCS team and then losing by two at a ranked Big Ten team in consecutive weeks is one of the stranger two game stretches in the country. The Washington performance says the defense can travel; the Idaho State loss says the offense can disappear.
Utah’s Week 2 result was the statement: 43-10 over an SEC opponent, with 24 points allowed all season. If Utah State cannot score more than twice, the rivalry angle will not matter. The full breakdown is on our Utah State vs. Utah preview.
