Utah
Utah (4-1 and 1-1 Big 12) entered the season in the top 10 of the national rankings with high expectations nationally to win the Big 12.
One of the main reasons for the high expectations was six-year QB Cam Rising returning for the Utes. Unfortunately, Rising has only played six quarters of football this year.
Rising was injured in week two against Baylor. The good news it looks like he will return for this contest against Arizona State.
Rising to return is a huge factor in my #16 Utah vs Arizona State AI prediction.
The Utes need Rising if they wish to make a run for the College Football Playoff.
Utah is second in the Big 12 in total defense but only tenth in total offense.
Arizona State

Texas State is a quality Sun Belt Conference Team but should not be Expectations were so low this season for ASU that in week two they were 2.5 points underdogs against Texas State. favored over a Big 12 team.
But the bookmakers were not far off as ASU only won by three points.

Arizona State was bad last year and is beating expectations.
