Last Updated: 09/16/2022 at 11:31 AM ET
Rice-Eccles Stadium will play host to a Saturday night college football battle between the San Diego State Aztecs and the Utah Utes. The Aztecs (1-1) started the season off with a disappointing home loss versus Arizona, but bounced back last week with a 38-7 home victory versus FCS Idaho State. San Diego State pitched a shutout over the final three quarters and gained 488 yards of total offense.
Virginia Tech transfer QB Braxton Burmeister ran for a 47-yard touchdown and added a 14-yard score through the air. Jordan Byrd got the scoring started for the Aztecs with a 66-yard punt return touchdown.
The 14th ranked Utah Utes were unable to defeat Florida on the road in their season opener and are still the favorites to win the Pac 12 Conference. On Saturday, Utah stepped down in competition to score a 73-7 home victory versus FCS Southern Utah. The Utes (1-1) led 45-7 at halftime and outgained the Thunderbirds by a ridiculous 599-85 margin.
Junior RB Tavion Thomas scored the first two Utah touchdowns and finished with 48 rushing yards on 11 carries. Cameron Rising contributed 254 passing yards and three scores for the Utes.
Betting Trends for vs
Utah owns a 17-13-1 series edge, but San Diego State scored a 33-31 upset at home a season ago. The Aztecs lack the offensive firepower to get the job done on the road. Utah will have no problem getting up for this game and will win a game that stays under the total. Final Score Prediction, Utah Utes win 31-10.
