How Arizona Wins vs. Utah
Arizona quarterback Noah Fifita will need to bounce back after a no-touchdown, one-interception game against Kansas State last week. He'll surely continue to rely on receiver Tetairoa McMillan who has been an absolute beast this season, already earning 453 yards and four scores through just three games. Meanwhile, the Arizona defense will need to step up, especially against the run after allowing 235 yards on the ground last week.
How Utah Wins vs. Arizona
Utah will likely lean on its running back duo of Micah Bernard and Mike Mitchell to lead the way to victory in this one. Bernard has 274 yards so far this year and averages 6.7 yards per carry, while Mitchell has been a solid complement to Bernard's game.
