Saturday's game marks the 80th meeting between these in-state rivals, as the Cougars of Brigham Young University travel north to Salt Lake City in search of an upset win over No.6 Utah. The Utes lead the all-time series 47-28-4 and have won six of their last 10 games against the Cougars including the last two.
