Utah's D is definitely solid and held both USC and Oregon to about a yard per offensive player lower than their to-date conference averages. While the numbers don't always tell the full story, Utah's arguably the best pass defense in the conference. So it's definitely possible that UW has some fits and starts.
Offensively, Utah's going to pound the ball and our ability to win on 1st and 2nd downs is going to be critical. If we can then I like UW to win by double digits rather easily. If we can't, then it's going to be a low possession game and that makes winning by double digits increasingly difficult.

minus 9.5 means Dawgs have to beat Utah by 10 pts or more to win ...
I don't know. At home? Hmmnnn .... how's the Utah defense lately?
