Arizona State Sun Devils Host Utah Utes in Crucial Big 12 Clash

The Arizona State Sun Devils are set to host the Utah Utes in a highly anticipated college football matchup on Saturday, marking the 35th meeting between the two teams. Both teams are adjusting to their new life in the Big 12 Conference after transitioning from the Pac-12 this offseason. Arizona State holds a 22-12 edge in the all-time series, but Utah has won the last four meetings.

Entering the game, both teams have a 4-1 overall record and a 1-1 record in Big 12 play. Arizona State is riding high after a 35-31 victory over Kansas last week, with quarterback Sam Leavitt throwing for four touchdowns and running back Cameron Skattebo rushing for 182 yards and a score. Skattebo’s performance has been pivotal, accounting for 378 scrimmage yards and three touchdowns over his last two games.

Utah, ranked No. 18, is looking to bounce back from a 23-10 loss to Arizona in their last outing. The Utes will likely see the return of starting quarterback Cameron Rising, who has been out since Week 2 due to a finger injury. Despite the loss, Utah’s defense remains a strong point, ranking 15th in scoring defense and allowing only 280.2 yards and 15 points per game on average.

The game is scheduled to kick off at 10:30 p.m. ET at Mountain America Stadium, where Arizona State is undefeated this season with a 3-0 record. Utah is favored by 5.5 points, and the over/under is set at 46.5 points.

This matchup promises to be intense, with both teams seeking to assert their dominance in the Big 12. The game will be available for streaming on FuboTV.
