For years and years the Utes have been the gold standard in physicality in the run game in the Pac-12 conference. They were coming off a game where they had over 300 yards on the ground against Arizona State. Washington also just had their best rushing effort of the season with Dillon Johnson putting up 256 yards on USC but has not exactly been a powerhouse running the ball. I’m guessing most sportsbooks would’ve offered healthy odds that the Utes would outgain the Huskies on the ground.
It turns out they would have been wrong. The final margin looks pretty close with a 125-115 edge for the Huskies.
