Arizona is getting ready to take on one of the best teams in the country and the preseason Big 12 favorite in No. 10 Utah. The Utes are undefeated at 4-0 and coming off their best win of the season, a 22-19 win at then ranked No. 14 Oklahoma State. The big question mark right now for Utah continues to involve their quarterback as Cam Rising is still missing time with his an injury, but could be ready to go by Saturday.
However if he doesn’t play, there are still a couple of things that the Wildcats need to be ready for. Utah has had a great defense all year, but especially against the run where they are giving up only 93 yards a game. This past weekend, the Utes held the reigning Doak Walker Award Winner in Ollie Gordon to just 42 yards. Additionally, Utah has shown the ability to pound the rock between the tackles, and racked up 249 yards against the Cowboys. Utah was also in control of the clock, winning the time of possession by almost 25 minutes.
