After a bye week, the Utes welcome the Cardinal of Stanford to Rice-Eccles Stadium. The Utes are home underdogs to a two loss, unranked team, which is a bit odd to me. Don’t get me wrong, Stanford is a good team, and is a very tough opponent, but the lack of respect Utah has gotten this past week is a bit mind boggling to me. It probably shouldn’t, because Utah hasn’t gotten much respect over the last couple of decades, if ever.
A lot of eyes for the Utes will be on who is running onto the field to start the game.
