Live scores, highlights and updates from the Utah vs. California football game
California has enjoyed the comforts of home their last two games, but now they'll head out on the road. They will challenge the Utah Utes at 3:00 p.m. ET on Saturday at Rice-Eccles Stadium. California is expected to lose this one by 14 points, so we'll see if that gives them a bit of motivation.
California pushed their score all the way to 40 on Saturday, but even that wasn't enough to win. They fell 52-40 to Oregon State.
Despite the defeat, California had strong showings from Isaiah Ifanse, who rushed for 86 yards and two touchdowns on only 11 carries, and Fernando Mendoza, who threw for 207 yards and two touchdowns.
After a string of four wins, Utah's good fortune finally ran out two Fridays ago. They took a hard 21-7 fall against Oregon State. The loss was Utah's first of the season.
The losses dropped California to 3-3 and Utah to 4-1.
Not only did the two teams lose their last games, but neither team managed to cover the spread. Looking ahead, Utah is the favorite in this one, as the experts expect to see them win by 14 points. Anyone thinking of taking California against the spread should keep this in mind: the team hasn't covered the last three times they've played Utah.
Here's a few offensive stats to keep an eye on ahead of Saturday' matchup: The Golden Bears have been on an offensive roll this season, having averaged 431.3 total yards per game. It's a different story for the Utes, though, as they've been averaging only 297.6 per game. Will California be able to rack up big numbers again, or will Utah flip the script?
