Stanford's Love looms for No. 20 Utah
SALT LAKE CITY -- Can any defense stop Bryce Love?
That's the question No. 20 Utah will try to answer when it hosts Stanford on Saturday. The Utes (4-0, 1-0 Pac-12) will send out the Pac-12's top rushing defense against the nation's top running back. If Utah finds a way to contain the junior, it will be mapping uncharted territory.
Replacing Christian McCaffrey turned out to be easier than expected for the Cardinal (3-2, 2-1 Pac-12) this season. Love has shredded every defense he's faced. He became the first 1,000-yard rusher in the FBS this season after churning out 301 yards and three touchdowns on 25 carries in a 34-24 win over Arizona State on Saturday.
