Utah extended the nation's fourth-longest home win streak but now has to take a road trip to Waco, Texas.
With Florida and Baylor stacked at the start of the schedule, Utah is one of just a handful of Power Five teams to open with consecutive games against fellow Power Five opponents. This future Big 12 matchup kicks off early at 10 a.m. MDT on ESPN.2023 season:My Game Grader formula is a measure of statistical dominance — and adjusts for opponent strength — and is a key piece of my preseason evaluation.
Baylor entered the season in the middle tier of the Big 12 with a No. 38 rank in Power Five. Their 42-31 loss to Texas State — as 26.5-point favorites — was one of the nation's worst season openers. Texas State entered 2023 as the consensus last-place finishers in the Sun Belt and had never defeated a Power Five opponent until Saturday. This loss dropped Baylor eight spots to No. 46.28th of 69 Power FiveDespite the loss, Baylor posted 525 yards and 417 through the air.
Baylor's offensive line failed to get a consistent run push, and as a team they posted a low 3.4 yards per carry, which would place them 97th in FBS. That feeds right into Utah's most impressive position group of their opener: the defensive line.
