On defense, safety Fred Perry has 25 tackles, linebacker Chase Wilson has 3 sacks, and safety Darrian Lewis has 2 interceptions. This unit can create plays for loss of yards, but has been on the field a lot due to its offense having too many short drives. Kicker Kade Hensley is 12-for-12 on extra points and 4-for-5 on field goals.

Utah vs West Virginia Prediction

Utah brings the better run game and the more disruptive defense. Daley and the front should bother on passing downs, while Dampier and the backs can control the tempo. West Virginia needs explosive plays to keep up, but recent results show inconsistency moving the ball. If Utah limits turnovers and wins on the early downs, it wins. Final Score Prediction: Utah Utes win and cover ATS 27–17.
