Utah vs. Oregon State Prediction
The Utes pulled off a massive win on Saturday over UCLA.
Utah won a defensive battle by the final score of 14-7. The Utes first quarter pick-six was the difference in the game.
The good thing for Utah was that they won the game. The bad thing was that starting quarterback Cam Rising missed his fourth straight game, and the offense scored only seven points.
Freshman Nate Johnson has taken over this Utah offense and has played okay so far. Johnson has thrown for 998 yards and two touchdowns. Additionally, Johnson has rushed for 150 yards.
Running back Ja'Quinden Jackson has rushed for a team-high 339 yards. Running back Jaylon Glover leads the squad with two rushing touchdowns.
Money Parks leads the Utes with 151 receiving yards and two touchdowns.
Utah has been one of the best defenses in college football through the first month.
Linebacker Lander Barton has been great and is tied first on the team in tackles with nineteen.
Oregon State suffered their first loss of the season on Saturday.
The Beavers were beaten by Washington State by a final of 38-35.
The score makes that game appear closer than it really was, as Oregon State scored fourteen late points when the game was well within hand.
Clemson Transfer DJ Uiagalelei leads this Beaver offense. DJ has performed well so far this season, throwing for 828 yards, seven touchdowns, and three interceptions. Additionally, DJ has rushed for five touchdowns.
Sophomore running back Damien Martinez leads the Beavers in rushing yards with 432. Martinez is averaging 7.6 yards per rush.
Wide receiver Silas Bolden has been the favorite target of Uiagalelei. Bolden has racked up a team-best 235 yards.
The Beavers' defense had been playing great until last weekend when they allowed 38 points to Washington State.
Utah vs. Oregon State Pick
This is the perfect bounce-back spot for the Beavers at home.
This is a team that has played great football at home as of late.
Utah has yet to impress on offense, scoring less than 25 points in three of their last four games. The only game in which the Utes scored more than 24 points was in Week 3 against Weber State.
Oregon State will be too much offensively for Utah to keep pace with in this game.
The Beavers defense did struggle against Washington State, but that is a top 15 offense in college football. The way that Utah operates its offense plays into the hands of the Beavers' defense.
