No. 14-ranked Utes (1-1) are coming off 73-7 victory over Southern Utah
Utah head coach Kyle Whittingham, whose team lost 33-31 in triple overtime to San Diego State last season, showered respect on SDSU in his Monday press conference.
The Utes lead the overall series 17-13-1. The schools have taken turns dominating. SDSU was 15-2-1 against the Utes in WAC games, but went 2-10 against them in the Mountain West.Utah received the highest preseason ranking in program history coming into the 2022 season when AP voters made the Utes the No. 7 team in the nation.
Rising never looked back after that, earning first-team all-Pac-12 honors after passing for 2,493 yards and 20 touchdowns. He also rushed for 499 yards and six TDs. “The tight ends are a tougher matchup right now for people because they’re just so dominant as receiving tight ends,” Whittingham said. “They’re good blockers as well, I don’t want to paint the picture that they’re one-trick ponies but, those guys are often miss mismatched on safeties and linebackers and they just are almost impossible to cover for those guys.”
