UTAH Football clashes with KANSAS STATE in a game that could define two drastically different seasons. The 9-2 UTES are hunting a COLLEGE FOOTBALL PLAYOFF berth while the 5-5 WILDCATS fight for bowl eligibility. J.T. and CHRISTIAN Rau break down UTAH's explosive 51-16 scoring average since their BYU loss, featuring the nation's second-ranked rushing attack behind an offensive line with two projected first-round picks. The discussion covers KANSAS STATE's injury-plagued season, AVERY JOHNSON's one-dimensional offense without star receiver JACE BROWN, and how CHRIS KLEIMAN's job security remains solid despite the disappointing campaign. Key matchups include UTAH's dominant ground game against KANSAS STATE's 77th-ranked run defense, DEVON DAMPIER's efficiency, and whether the WILDCATS can force turnovers to stay competitive. The hosts debate KYLE WHITTINGHAM's potential farewell game, BIG 12 CHAMPIONSHIP implications, and why both predict UTAH covers the 17.5-point spread in what could be a statement victory for CFP consideration.
