No. 10 Utah, 6-0, hosts No. 14 Houston on Saturday in what Deseret News called the Utes' biggest test so far, with the game set for 8:15 p.m. on ESPN. [1]
Houston has won four straight since a close loss at Texas Tech. Quarterback Conner Weigman, a Texas A&M transfer, has thrown for 1,771 yards and 20 touchdowns with two interceptions and has added 229 rushing yards and six rushing touchdowns. Utah safeties coach Derrick Odum called him "the best we've faced this year." [1]
Utah ranks third nationally in pass efficiency defense and allows 14.83 points per game. It averages 1.83 sacks, 84th nationally, and no defensive end has recorded one. Coach Morgan Scalley said the Utes are forcing quarterbacks to throw earlier than they want to. [1]
The Utes' remaining schedule includes No. 2 BYU at home, No. 25 Arizona on the road and a Halloween game at Cincinnati. ESPN ranks Utah's schedule through six games 99th in strength. [1]
