The 10th-ranked Utah Utes (4-0) welcome the Arizona Wildcats (2-1) to Rice-Eccles Stadium for a Big 12 showdown on Saturday, September 28, 2024. This matchup sets the stage for a pivotal conference clash between two competitive teams.
Arizona suffered a tough loss in their previous game, struggling against Kansas State. The Wildcats converted just 6 of 18 attempts on third and fourth down and were limited to 56 rushing yards, averaging 2.9 yards per carry. Despite being down only seven points at halftime, Arizona was shut out in the second half, ultimately getting outgained 391-324 and failing to score beyond the opening quarter.
The hosts have kicked off their season with a solid unbeatable 4-0 start, following a win over Oklahoma State last weekend. Although senior quarterback Cam Rising was cleared to return, the Utes chose to start freshman Isaac Wilson instead.
Wilson completed 17 of 29 passes for 207 yards, a touchdown, and two interceptions. While his performance was steady, head coach Kyle Whittingham noted that too many of the team's drives failed to end in touchdowns, an area they’ll aim to improve moving forward.
