Arizona State Sun Devils
Arizona State has been a strong Bowl Game contender so far this season. They recorded huge wins against traditional powerhouse Michigan State 10-7 in their third game and slayed another giant by stunning California 24-17 in the fifth week. In the close win against Washington State on October 13, quarterback Jayden Daniels threw for 363 yards with three touchdowns – all caught by his primary target that night Brandon Aiyuk, who finished with 196 yards on 7 receptions.
Players to watch: Jayden Daniels QB (111 CMP, 176 ATT, 1610 YDS, 63.1 CMP%, 9.1 AVG, 86 LNG, 8 TD, 1 INT), Eno Benjamin RB (125 ATT, 529 YDS, 4.2 AVG, 33 LNG, 7 TD), Isaiah Floyd RB (11 ATT, 47 YDS, 4.3 AVG, 10 LNG, 0 TD), Brandon Aiyuk WR (31 REC, 651 YDS, 21.0 AVG, 86 LNG, 5 TD), Kyle Williams WR (24 REC, 205 YDS, 8.5 AVG, 20 LNG, 0 TD).
Utah Utes
Utah Utes have compiled a good record at this juncture of their campaign, scoring big wins against BYU 30-12 on Week 1 and Oregon State 52-7 on Week 6. Their lone loss came against USC 30-23 on Week 3. With a 5-1 slate, the Utes can continue building their Bowl Game resume, but only if they beat their first ranked opponent of the season. Quarterback Tyler Huntley needs to replicate his great game against Oregon State, in which he went 14-for-17 for 247 yards and 2 touchdowns. Running back Zach Moss also has to follow up his huge game (121 yards, 2 touchdowns) in his last outing to give the Utes a double-edged offense in this match.
Players to watch: Tyler Huntley QB (99 CMP, 131 ATT, 1393 YDS, 75.6 CMP%, 10.6 AVG, 82 LNG, 9 TD, 0 INT), Zach Moss RB (68 ATT, 514 YDS, 7.6 AVG, 9.1 LNG, 6 TD), Jordan Wilmore RB (37 ATT, 157 YDS, 4.2 AVG, 23 LNG, 1 TD), Bryan Thompson WR (11 REC, 310 YDS, 28.2 AVG, 82 LNG, 2 TD), Brant Kuithe TE (11 REC, 207 YDS, 18.8 AVG, 60 LNG, 2 TD).
