tah is not having an easy time in their first year in the Pac-12. They have gotten off to an 0-3 start in Pac-12 play. They were pounded by Washington (31-14) and Arizona State (35-14) in consecutive games. They are getting the questions about the transition and whether they are really up to the weekly grind at the BCS level. As you would expect, the Utes dismiss such notions. &...

The loss snapped the Cougars' four-game home winning streak and was their first to an in-state opponent since 2005. Utah (2-1) trailed 10-7 late in the second quarter until Wynn beat...

Last year's matchup started with pre-game taunting and was decided by a last-second blocked field goal. Not much figures to change this year in the BYU-Utah rivalry, even if Saturday night's showdown will mark the first time in 113 years the teams will play as non-conference opponents.
