WHAT IS AT STAKE?

BYU and Utah will face each other as conference rivals for the first time since 2010. The Cougars need a win to stay undefeated and maintain a one-game lead at the top of the Big 12 standings. A win for the Utes would end a four-game deficit and move them one step closer to bowl eligibility.

KEY MATCHUP

Utah's anemic offense faces one of its toughest challenges yet. BYU ranks fourth among FBS teams in passing efficiency defense, allowing an efficiency rating of 96.31 per game. The Cougars have generated 18 takeaways in eight games, including 14 interceptions. They lead the Big 12 in both categories. The Utes have thrown 12 interceptions, ranking last in the Big 12.

PLAYERS TO WATCH

Utah: Utes coach Kyle Whittingham reopened quarterback competition during bye week between Isaac Wilson and Brandon Rose. Neither Wilson nor Rose were able to move the chains effectively in a loss to Houston two weeks ago. Whoever starts will need to be efficient and minimize mistakes against a strong BYU defense.

BYU: Establishing the running game early will determine the Cougars' fate against Utah. BYU's top two running backs, LJ Martin and Hinckley Ropati, are fully healthy and provide a dangerous one-two punch in the backfield. Martin had back-to-back 100-yard games against Oklahoma State and UCF. Ropati averaged 7.0 yards per carry in his last three contests.
