COLLEGE FOOTBALL
Utah enters unbeaten and has looked explosive on the scoreboard, averaging 47.3 points and 518.0 yards per game while allowing only 8.0 points per game. Iowa State is also 2-1 and has been strong in its own right, averaging 35.3 points and 355.0 yards per game while giving up just 11.0 points per game. The key clash is Utah's passing volume against an Iowa State defense that has limited opponents to 143.0 passing yards per game, while the Cyclones' offense will need to move efficiently against a Utah defense allowing only 239.3 yards per game.
Utah should be able to move the ball, but Iowa State's defense has enough strength to keep this from turning into a full track meet. With both teams showing better defensive numbers than the raw scoreboard might imply, the best angle is the under. My projected final score is Utah Utes 24, Iowa State Cyclones 20, which supports a lower-scoring game and leaves some margin against the current total.
