A disappointing season continues for the Utes as they travel to Oregon to play the Beavers in what should be a simple afternoon for the Utes. They are 4-1 so far this season, and although their odds of a playoff spot was low, a loss to USC likely have their chances at the college football playoff at 0%.
Oregon State is a decent team who is coming off of an impressive victory over the lowly UCLA Bruins. The Beavers now look to spring a big upset in front of the home fans when they welcome in the Utah Utes this Saturday at Reser Stadium.
Utah Utes
The Utes are looking to put together back to back wins this Saturday in a game they should win on paper.

These games are not played on paper, however, and the Utes will need to be wary of an Oregon State Beavers team who can hag with them if they bring their A game.
The Utes destroyed Washington State in their last game putting up over 500 total yards of offense and only conceding 13 points.
One thing that concerns me about this team is the secondary as they were at fault for the team’s loss to the USC Trojans. The Utes front 7 must have wondered what was going on with the guys on the back end day as they made the Trojans totally one dimensional.
The Utes front 7 held the Trojans to an astonishing 13 rushing yards, but the secondary failed giving up 368 passing yards. Utah on the other hand had tons of success running the ball in that game with over 250 yards, but it ended up not being enough to overcome the USC passing attack.

I don’t worry at all about this offense who I expect to keep rolling here, but that secondary remains a major concern here.
Oregon State Beavers
Starting senior QB Jake Luton went to work last week against UCLA throwing for 285 yards and 5 touchdowns in that victory against the Bruins. He will get the chance to show what he and this wide receiving core can do in front of what should be a packed house this Saturday.
The Houston Utes run defense is stout, so the gameplan for the beavers should be to throw the ball and test this Utes secondary. If the Beaver decide to go with that gameplan look for wide receiver Isaiah Hodgins to have a big game as he has been an absolute beast this year.
He has 43 receptions and 639 receiving yards and 9 touchdowns in just the first 5 games so if Luton is put in a position to throw he will certainly be looking towards Hodgins as his number one target.
The Beavers defense is certainly not their strong suit so I am more or less expecting a shootout here as I can see both of these teams airing it out plenty.

Free Week 7 NCAA Football Pick
This game should go over for me as this game should set up perfectly for a shootout. The Utes will score plenty of points against a pretty soft Beavers defense so we don’t really need to worry about them in terms of the over under.
The Beavers on the other hand are perfectly suited to put up points on the Utes as Utah’s weakness (the secondary) plays into the Beavers strength (Passing attack). This game could get especially high scoring if the Beavers get out to an early lead.
I also think the Beavers will keep this one close as I do not believe in this Utah Utes team and think they could struggle a bit on the road. The Beavers are a bit underrated too and I really like their QB play and think senior starter Jake Luton will have a very solid game.

Utah just held one the highest scoring offenses in college football to 13 points and shut them out 2nd half. Home field did play an advantage but I don’t see Beavers putting up 30.
