Arizona State Sun Devils vs. Utah Utes Predictions
The Sun Devils finally snapped a six-game losing streak last week with a 38-27 victory over Washington State. The team’s head coach, Kenny Dillingham, has been impressed with the team’s recent practice sessions and believes they are learning how to compete and win. The Sun Devils’ offensive line, despite being plagued with injuries, has shown resilience and has not given up a sack in either of the last two games. The team’s success in running the ball, with a season-high 509 yards last week, will be a key factor in this game.
On the other side, the Utes, despite their recent loss to Oregon, have been a dominant force in the Pac-12. Head coach Kyle Whittingham, in his 19th year at the helm, has not had a losing season since 2013. The Utes’ defense, giving up just 17.5 points per game, ranks third in the Pac-12 in defensive yardage and second in rushing defense. However, they will need to be wary of the Sun Devils’ offensive prowess and ability to create explosive plays.
The game will likely hinge on the performances of the two quarterbacks. For the Sun Devils, Trenton Bourguet will need to be at his best against a tough Utes defense. On the other side, Bryson Barnes will be looking to lead the Utes to a bounce-back victory. With both teams having a lot to play for, this game promises to be a thrilling encounter.
Arizona State Sun Devils vs. Utah Utes Pick
The Arizona State Sun Devils have shown significant improvement in their recent games, particularly in their offensive line performance. Despite being riddled with injuries, the offensive line has not given up a sack in the last two games, demonstrating their resilience and adaptability. The Sun Devils’ success in running the ball, with a season-high 509 yards last week, will be a key factor in this game. This offensive prowess, combined with their recent momentum from snapping a six-game losing streak, makes them a strong contender against the spread.
On the other hand, the Utah Utes, despite their strong defense, may struggle to contain the Sun Devils’ explosive plays. The Utes’ recent loss to Oregon could also have a psychological impact on the team’s performance. Furthermore, the Sun Devils’ quarterback, Trenton Bourguet, has shown potential to excel against tough defenses, and this game could be his opportunity to shine. Considering these factors, the pick for this game would be the Arizona State Sun Devils against the spread.
