Why Utah can cover
Utah’s College Football Playoff hopes were put on life support when the Utes lost at Florida in Week 1, but they have responded with three dominant wins. They blew out Southern Utah and San Diego State before beating Arizona State on the road in their conference opener last week. Their defense held Arizona State to just six rushing yards, and they also sacked Sun Devils quarterback Emory Jones five times.
Oregon State rushed for a season-low 153 yards against USC last week, so it will be tough for the Beavers to move the ball on Saturday. Utah quarterback Cameron Rising has completed 66.7% of his passes for 954 yards, 10 touchdowns and two interceptions, while junior running back Tavion Thomas has rushed for 282 yards and four scores. Utah is on a 10-game home winning streak and has covered the spread in four of its last five games.
Why Oregon State can cover
Oregon State is one of the few teams in college football that has covered the spread in all four of its games this season. The Beavers picked up consecutive wins over Boise State, Fresno State and Montana State before losing a thriller against then-No. 7 USC last week. They held a 14-10 lead with two minutes remaining in the game, but USC scored a late touchdown to win the contest.
Utah suffered a major blow last week when star tight end Brant Kuithe went down with a season-ending lower leg injury. He ranks eighth in school history in receptions, including the most by a tight end since 1996. He led the team in receptions and was second in receiving yards this year, so his loss is going to change Utah’s outlook. Oregon State has covered the spread in four of its last five games against Utah.
