Arizona Looks to Bounce Back After Bye Week

The last time we saw the Arizona Wildcats, they lost to the Kansas State Wildcats a couple of weeks ago. Since then, they have had a bye week and will look to bounce back from their first loss of the season here against Utah. Arizona was only able to rush for 56 yards against K-State in their first Big 12 game since joining the conference. Against a Utah defense that is so good at putting pressure on opposing quarterbacks, the Wildcats will need to find a way to move the ball on the ground to keep the Utes off-balance and allow Arizona to air it out to Tetairoa McMillan.

QB Questions Persist For Utah

The Utah Utes are 4-0 this season and ranked 10th in the country entering Saturday's Arizona vs Utah matchup. But not everything is perfect for Utah going into this game, as injury concerns for Cam Rising have once again called into question the sustainability of Utah's strong start. Isaac Wilson has five touchdowns and five interceptions in relief of Wilson. He has by no means been horrible, but he hasn't been quite as steady as Rising would be if the Utes starter was able to be on the field more consistently.

Arizona vs Utah Best Bet

Utah's defense is always going to cause problems for opposing teams. But the question going into this Arizona vs Utah clash is whether the Utah offense can move the ball reliably enough against the Arizona defense. While we expect Utah to win this game, our best bet for this matchup is on the total, as we like both defenses to keep this contest under the total in a Big 12 matchup between two teams that were members of the Pac-12 a season ago.
