Key Factors to Consider

Historical trends favor Arizona State covering the spread despite Utah being the favorite.
- No significant injury updates available impacting key positions for either team at this time.
- The game will be played at Utah's Rice-Eccles Stadium which gives Utah home-field advantage. Weather and other conditions have not been reported as unfavorable. Television coverage on ESPN ensures high-profile exposure.
