Utah is one of the top "what-if" teams in college football. If Cameron Rising had started at quarterback over Charlie Brewer from the beginning, the Utes might have been a one-loss team. They come in with six straight wins and will be a team to watch next year. The Buckeyes might win, but look for Utah to keep this within four points.
The line overcorrected to Ohio State's opt-outs. That's not to say Garrett Wilson and Chris Olave aren't awesome -- they are. It's just that if there's one area that Ohio State can afford to lose a few guys it's the receiver position, and while they'll also be without Haskell Garrett and Nicholas Petit-Frere, they're still the far more talented team in this matchup. Utah is too good to allow itself to get blown out in this spot, but the Utes won't score enough to keep pace for the full 60 minutes.
