Winner : Final Score Utah wins 24 – 11

Florida Vs Utah

Vegas: Utah -5.5

College Football Game Picker: Utah by 15.44

Utah is ranked behind USC preseason after winning the Pac-12 last year. This team will be carrying a serious chip on their shoulders. The revenge factor will be real after losing late to Florida last year. Florida is still somewhat rebuilding. Utah QB Cam Rising will not be available for this game. Utah QB Bryson Barnes who stepped in for Cam Rising last year and went 37-57 for 430 yards and 4 TDs against Washington St. will start. Regardless Utah’s running game should be able to move the ball at will with the 14th ranked running backs and 5th ranked offensive line. Utah’s defense will give Florida fits with the 10th ranked defensive line, 15th ranked linebackers, and 21st ranked defensive backs going against an unproven Florida QB. Look for Utah to cover the line in this one.
