After struggling against the run against Utah State a week ago, Utah shut down OSU running back Ollie Gordon II despite not having its star linebacker Karene Reid for the second week in a row. Gordon finished with 11 carries, 42 rushing yards and a 3.8 yard per carry average.

The No.12 Utah Utes come into this matchup with a 3-0 record after beating Southern Utah, Baylor (In a non-conference game), and Utah State. The Utes, led by 7th-year quarterback Cam Rising, will look to keep their undefeated season alive with a win in their first-ranked opponent game and first BIG 12 conference game in history.
