Expect a physical Big 12 clash where running games, offensive line battles, and ball security dictate the outcome. Utah enters as a home favorite at Rice-Eccles Stadium behind dual-threat quarterback Devon Dampier and primary tailback Wayshawn Parker. For Utah to cover the spread or secure a rivalry win, Dampier needs to avoid turnovers against a disciplined BYU front seven that limits big plays on the ground.
On the other side, BYU relies on quarterback Bear Bachmeier and running back LJ Martin to drive their rushing attack. Bachmeier’s mobility gives the Cougars extra options when drives reach short-yardage territory. BYU’s secondary will aim to limit downfield targets like Braden Pegan and Noah Bennee while forcing Utah into third-and-long situations. Expect a tight battle that comes down to line play in the fourth quarter.

*Rob Gray-Imagn ImagesWhen looking at top scoring options for this rivalry, the primary ball-handlers stand out for both sides. For Utah, running back Wayshawn Parker handles the bulk of red-zone carries, while quarterback Devon Dampier remains a constant threat to score on option keepers. In the passing game near the goal line, wideout Braden Pegan and tight end Hunter Andrews have been Dampier’s top targets.
For BYU, goal-line duties have belonged to quarterback Bear Bachmeier, but the impending return of LJ Martin, make both dangers to score in goal-to-go situations. Through the air, receivers Legend Glasker and Kyler Kasper represent Bachmeier’s most reliable targets inside the twenty.
