I think UCLA is the only team in the contest able to turn this game into a blowout. Even with possible bad weather, I think Utah's only chance is to win in a shootout. I just don't see any scenario in which Utah runs away from the Bruins.
Utah's defense is by far the best UCLA has faced this year.
Statistically, Wilson and Hundley are almost exactly the same QB. Wilson has more passing yards, more TD's, better QB rating, more rushing yards, by a hair. Also, Wilson has faced DRASTICALLY better defenses than Hundley.
I think it will come down to TO's. I think one team, especially if there is weather, will fold. They won't be able to handle the situation (UCLA won't be able to handle a big game on a Thursday night in weather or Utah won't be able to handle a big game against a top 10 team).
I feel like this game will be like the last UCLA game in Utah two years ago or like the TCU blackout game. One team is going to come out of this looking amazing and the other is going to look like dog meat.
