Oregon vs. Utah: Live updates, score, results, highlights, for Saturday's NCAA Football game

Live scores, highlights and updates from the Oregon vs. Utah football game

The Utah Utes won both of their matches against the Oregon Ducks last season (38-7 and 38-10) and are aiming for the same result on Saturday. Utah and Oregon will face off in a Pac-12 battle at 10:30 p.m. ET at Autzen Stadium. With a combined 1,106 yards of offense in their previous games, we can expect a fast-paced contest.

The Utes ran circles around the Stanford Cardinal last week, and the extra yardage (514 yards vs. 177 yards) paid off. Utah put a hurting on Stanford at home to the tune of 42-7. The game was all but wrapped up at the end of the third, by which point Utah had established a 35-7 advantage. Their RB Tavion Thomas was on fire, rushing for two TDs and 180 yards on 22 carries. Thomas had some trouble finding his footing against the Arizona Wildcats two weeks ago, so this was a step in the right direction.

Meanwhile, the Ducks entered their matchup against the Washington Huskies last week without any home losses -- but there's a first time for everything. It was close but no cigar for Oregon as they fell 37-34 to Washington. The losing side was boosted by QB Bo Nix, who passed for two TDs and 280 yards on 28 attempts in addition to rushing for one TD and 59 yards. Nix's 67-yard touchdown toss to WR Troy Franklin in the third quarter made for one of the most memorable moments of the night.

This next matchup is expected to be close, with Utah going off at just a 2-point favorite. The smart bettors have been the ones to keep their money on Utah's opponents whenever they hit the road.

Utah's win brought them up to 8-2 while Oregon's loss pulled them down to an identical 8-2. A couple offensive numbers to keep in mind before kickoff: The Utes enter the game with 50 overall offensive touchdowns, good for seventh best in the nation. The Ducks have displayed some offensive firepower of their own as they rank second in the nation when it comes to yards per game, with 527.7 on average.
