The trends
For Utah: The Utes are 4-0 after picking up their first-ever Big 12 victory at Oklahoma State last Saturday. Without quarterback Cam Rising, Utah won 22-19 behind a mostly dominant performance from its defense and a career-high day from running back Micah Bernard.
For Arizona: Yet to play a Big 12 game, Arizona had a bye week after a 31-7 loss at Kansas State in a nonconference game. It marked the second straight week of stifled offensive production and another game this year wherein the Wildcats let a mobile quarterback run wild.
What to watch for
The key matchup when Arizona has the ball is Tetairoa McMillan vs. cornerback Zemaiah Vaughn. Vaughn, Utah’s No. 1 cornerback, will draw the challenge of taking on one of the nation’s best receivers, and it might be the toughest matchup he has all year.
