Utah is one of two FBS teams still undefeated and controls its path to both the Big 12 championship and a potential first-round bye in the College Football Playoff.

The Utes have been one of the Big 12's better rushing teams, ranking second in the conference in yards per carry (5.4) and third in TDs (13). They had a scare last week when RB Wayshawn Parker was injured and left a game against BYU, although insider Pete Thamel reports that Parker will play in this game. 

If Parker isn’t 100% healthy, Utah still has QB Devon Dampier, who ran for 89 yards and 2 rushing TDs with Parker hurt last game.

Dampier has always been a great runner, but his passing game has improved significantly. This year, he boasts career highs in completion rate (68.0%), yards per attempt (8.1), and passer rating (156.7).

Utah may need to maintain offensive balance, avoid third-and-long situations, and let Dampier’s legs play a role if it wants to keep its undefeated streak alive.

Arizona still aspires to reach the College Football Playoff, but it'd need a lot of help. Winning the Big 12 title would likely be the only opportunity, as losses to then-#15 BYU and then-#13 Texas Tech leave the Wildcats 0-2 against ranked opponents without a tiebreaker advantage.

The Wildcats' biggest advantage is that this game is in Tucson. Arizona's been nearly impossible to beat at home, winning seven straight games and 11 of its last 12.

It also helps that Arizona has QB Noah Fifita behind center, and he's probably the greatest QB ever to wear a Wildcats uniform, serving as the program’s all-time leader in passing yards (11,977) and passing TDs (94).

Fifita has carried this offense with his arm, and Arizona ranks in the 83rd percentile for passing play rate (53.7%) while the field general leads the Big 12 in completions (224). 

If Arizona turns this into a game where each QB relies on his arm, the advantage goes to Fifita. Dampier's improved as a passer, but if Arizona forces him to drop back consistently, the Wildcats could quiet the Utes’ offense.
