Overview

  • Utah hosts Arizona State on Saturday, Oct. 11, with an 8:15 p.m. kickoff at Rice‑Eccles Stadium, and the Utes are favored by roughly 5 to 5.5 points.
  • Dillingham praised Kyle Whittingham’s program and called Dampier a phenomenal player, saying he should have recruited the former Scottsdale Saguaro star harder.
  • Dampier, a New Mexico transfer, is central to Utah’s offense after a five‑touchdown outing at West Virginia and a renewed connection with receiver Ryan Davis.
  • Arizona State is 4-1 and ranked No. 21, has edged Baylor and TCU in consecutive one‑score games, and leads the Big 12 in sacks with 19 through five contests.
  • The matchup carries Big 12 and CFP implications for ASU, while Utah seeks its first Big 12 home victory after going 0-5 at Rice‑Eccles in league play since 2024.
