00:00Okay, so really good matchup, by the way, going on this weekend out west with Utah taking on Texas Tech.

00:06Another very early start, by the way, for the Utes.

00:09They're three-and-a-half point favorites.

00:11I know this opened up at three, so there is some steam on Utah.

00:14Total 56-and-a-half tells you it could be a wildly competitive game.

00:19And Texas Tech has been a nice surprise, Bill, at the start of the season.

00:22They're ranked 17th in the country.

00:24Let's break this one down.

00:25What do you do in a contrasting styles matchup?

00:27You know, Texas Tech's going to throw it around with Barron Morton.

00:30They've scored tons of points this season against weaker competition, and this is a big test going out west.

00:36Two things I like about Utah, though.

00:38One, aside from being at home, one, the defense is nasty again.

00:42They don't allow much, and Devin Dampierre's been amazing.

00:46He has seven touchdowns, zero interceptions, and he averages six yards per carry.

00:52So which style wins out in this game?

00:54I typically take the home team.

00:55I know that line's kind of stuck in that three-and-a-half range.

00:59I liked Utah before it even opened, and I'm going to stick with the Utes in this game.

01:04It is a proving game for both.

01:05The winner will probably be in pole position, along with Iowa State, to be the favorite in the Big 12.
