Pac-12 football
UCLA stars Dorian Thompson-Robinson, Jake Bobo, and Zach Charbonnet.

4. #20 Utah Utes (4-2, 2-1)

Last Game: UCLA 42 – Utah 32

It was a shootout at the Rose Bowl, and Utah didn’t have enough bullets. The teams traded scores throughout the game.

Cameron Rising‘s 9-yard touchdown run with 11:39 left in the game pulled Utah to within 3 points at 28-25. Unfortunately, he couldn’t take the Utes home. After scoring the TD, Rising fumbled on their next possession.

Clark Phillips had a pick-six with 6 seconds left. It was his 4th interception in 2 games. But UCLA recovered the onside kick and ran out the clock.

This Week: vs. USC, 5:00 PM – FOX

Utah’s chances of repeating as Pac-12 Champions are on life support. If they can’t beat USC at Rice-Eccles, it’s over.

Their two losses came against good teams. Florida and UCLA. As usual, the Utes have an outstanding defense.

Utah allows the fewest yards and second-fewest points per game in the conference. They are not to be taken lightly by anyone, including USC.

3. #12 Oregon Ducks (5-1, 3-0)

Last Game: Oregon 49 – Arizona 22

The Ducks’ offense put on a show at Arizona Stadium. They scored over 40 points for the fifth game in a row and had 580 yards of total offense.

Leading the highlight reel once again was Bo Nix. Oregon’s quarterback completed 20 of 25 passes (80%) for 265 yards. He also ran 8 times, picking up 80 yards and 3 touchdowns.

Their defense was pretty good too. Oregon had 5 tackles for loss, 4 passes defended, 2 fumble recoveries, and an interception.

This Week: Bye

Oregon gets a well-deserved week off. They have time to heal up before hosting 11th-ranked UCLA.
