Red All Over: Utah-Oregon football games have been unpredictable. What will happen Friday?

In advance of Friday's Pac-12 football championship game, nobody should want a Utah-Oregon prediction from me.

I’ve been dead wrong about the teams’ last four meetings, although I have good excuses. Practically nobody could have seen Utah’s 62-20 win coming in 2015, the Utes were heavy favorites in 2016, Oregon was missing quarterback Justin Herbert in 2017 and Utah was missing quarterback Tyler Huntley and running back Zack Moss in 2018.

I'm expecting a very good game Friday night in Santa Clara, Calif., and the Utes will have to play well to win the Pac-12 championship.
