They lost their first 4 games in a row ATS, all by double-digits. They are a good football team and they are very well coached and they continually find ways to defy the laws of recruiting physics, but I find it highly unlikely that Utah will win the PAC-12, let alone the PAC 12 South.

“We don’t feel pressure because we know what type of team we are”, Utah defensive back Boobie Hobbs said.
“He just struggled a little bit tonight”, Cal coach Sonny Dykes said. You’ve just got to block it out and go about your business and not let it affect you because it can be a distraction. “When they were moving the ball on that last drive, that’s what we expected”.
The Utes missed several opportunities to grab a sizable lead with erratic offense.

Cal forced their third turnover with Devante Downs helping jostle the ball loose from Devante Booker, allowing Caleb Coleman to recover. Wilson passed for 227 yards against the Ducks and threw four touchdown passes.
In a remarkable reversal of fortune – one due, in no small part, to Goff’s continued maturation as a quarterback – the Golden Bears are 5-0. Linebacker Gionni Paul and nickel back Justin Thomas also tallied interceptions Saturday night. Free safety Marcus Williams added an interception and a fumble recovery.
Wilson completed 16 of 26 passes for 170 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions. “I think about retiring”, Pease said.

The Golden Bears score points and they give ’em up. He converted three third-down plays to extend the drive, using his arm and his legs to move to the Utah 21.
“This is probably the worst game of my life”, Goff said. “That quarterback is maybe the best in the country at what he does as far as staying in the pocket and our defense rose to the occasion”.
Overall, Cal held the Utes to just 17 points off those six turnovers, doing their absolute best to give their offense a chance to turn things around. 7 UCLA last week. Before the Utes joined the Conference of Champions in 2011, it thrived in the Mountain West. With Whittingham at the helm, the team went 13-0 in 2008 and 10-3 each of the two years after that.

Arizona State appears to be playing its best football of the season. Demario Richard swerved in and out of tacklers on a short run and fumbled forward where tight end Kody Kohl scooped it up and ran into the end zone. Miami’s the definitive underdog on Saturday, but this edition of FSU appears much more beatable than the past two Seminoles teams. White finished with seven grabs for 144 yards, both career highs. A 36-yard field goal by Andy Phillips pushed Utah’s advantage to 27-17 with 11:05 left but, after the teams traded empty possessions, the Bears got a break when Booker coughed the ball up on the way to the ground.
