Utah is an underdog for the primary time this season.
According to early odds from Circa Sports, the Nineteenth-ranked Oregon State Beavers are a two-point favourite over the Tenth-ranked Utes of their Week 5 matchup. The over/below is ready at 46.
Certainly the early line has one thing to do with the very fact Cameron Rising hasn’t but performed for the Utes this season. And its unclear how wholesome the Utes will probably be after they head to Corvallis.
The expectation for a number of weeks now was that he would make his debut in opposition to UCLA over the weekend. That didn’t occur and second-year quarterback Nate Johnson made his second profession begin.
The ensuing offensive day was a large wrestle for Utah. Johnson accomplished 9 of his 17 passes for 117 yards and a landing. It was the bottom passing whole the Utes have had in a win since beating BYU with 106 yards on Aug. 29, 2019.
Coach Kyle Whittingham stated after the sport that Johnson “managed” the sport for the Utes, who acquired an outstanding defensive efficiency to energy a 14-7 win.
Rising warmed up however finally was not available.
“Plan was to have him warm up in full pads and then come in and just change clothes because he was not cleared,” Whittingham stated. “Just another opportunity for him to throw and work on his craft. We weren’t trying to trick anybody.”
Now the Utes have a brief week to prepare for Oregon State, which will probably be coming off a 38-35 loss to Washington State.
Kickoff is ready for six p.m. PT on FS1 this Friday.
