SALT LAKE CITY — Throughout training camp and preseason practices, the 25th-ranked Utah Utes insisted their focus was on North Dakota. However, after opening the season with a 37-16 win over the Fighting Hawks Thursday night at Rice-Eccles Stadium, things changed.
Utah’s focus is now on Saturday’s rivalry game at BYU. The Utes have a six-game winning streak in the hotly contested series.
