The Pac-12 Conference’s most dangerous dual-threat quarterbacks will duel in the desert on Friday, when No. 21 Utah visits Arizona. The game also will serve as the Pac-12 opener for both teams, who just completed winning non-conference seasons.
Utah sophomore Tyler Huntley is second in the conference and 10th nationally in total offense at 360 yards per game and has accounted for eight total touchdowns, including a team-high three via the rush. Arizona junior Brandon Dawkins, meanwhile, leads all Pac-12 quarterbacks with 83.7 rushing yards per contest and has accounted for nine total TDs, including five on the ground. Overall, the Wildcats rank sixth nationally with 328 rushing yards per contest while Utah counters with the nation’s second-stingiest rushing defense to date at 49.3 yards. “(Arizona coach Rich Rodriguez) has a great grasp of offensive scheme,” Utah coach Kyle Whittingham said during his news conference on Monday. “He knows exactly what he wants to do, and it starts with the run game with those guys. They run the read zone as well as anyone in the country, and they have a quarterback who is an exceptional runner. … That’s going to be job No. 1 for us this week, like it is every week.”
TV: 10:30 p.m. ET, FS1. LINE: Utah -3
ABOUT UTAH (3-0): The Utes are coming off their fifth straight undefeated non-conference season and are now looking to win their Pac-12 opener for the third straight campaign. Wide receiver Darren Carrington II, a transfer from Oregon, has struck up an immediate bond with Huntley as they’ve hooked up 26 times for 409 yards and four TDs so far. On the other side of the ball, linebacker Sunia Tauteoli (team-high 18 tackles) and safety Chase Hansen (14) lead a unit which is tops in the conference in total defense (246 yards) and turnovers forced (nine), including six interceptions.
ABOUT ARIZONA (2-1): The Wildcats bounced back from a 19-16 loss to Houston with a 63-16 rout of host UTEP last week as Dawkins threw for three touchdowns and added three more on the ground while rolling up 288 yards of total offense. Senior Nick Wilson (63 yards per game) and redshirt freshman J.J. Taylor (62) form a potent 1-2 punch in the backfield while tight end Bryce Wolma (11 receptions, 79 yards, one touchdown) and slot receiver Shun Brown (eight, 126, one) are the leading pass-catchers. Linebacker Tony Fields II is the leading tackler (17) on a defense that is allowing 387.7 yards but has forced seven turnovers.
EXTRA POINTS
1. Arizona holds a 4-2 series edge since Utah joined the Pac-12 in 2011, but the Utes posted a 36-23 win last season in Salt Lake City.
2. Hansen missed last week’s triumph over San Jose State with an undisclosed injury, and his status for Friday’s contest likely won’t be known until just before kickoff.
3. Utah has a decided edge in the kicking game, with Matt Gay a perfect 11-for-11 on both field-goal and extra-point attempts so far, while 2016 Ray Guy Award winner Mitch Wishnowsky ranks fifth nationally in net yardage (45.4).

When: 8:00 PM ET, Friday, September 22, 2017
Where: Albertsons Stadium, Boise, Idaho
Preview: Virginia at Boise State
Gracenote
Sep 19, 2017
Virginia quarterback Kurt Benkert seeks an encore performance after a record-setting effort last week when he leads the Cavaliers into a Friday night matchup at Boise State, which trounced Virginia two seasons ago in Charlottesville. Benkert threw for a school-record 455 yards in a 38-18 win against Connecticut last Saturday, displaying an aggressive approach the team will need to succeed under the lights in Boise.
"The (blue) turf is one thing, but the style of play," Cavaliers coach Bronco Mendenhall told reporters. "Boise is always really aggressive at the beginning of the game. ... You have to start fast, and you have to be really resilient, especially early, to play well there." Mendenhall lost twice at Albertsons Stadium while coaching at BYU and he's seen footage of the Broncos' 56-14 rout in Virginia on Sept. 25, 2015. The current unit in Boise State rebounded from a triple-overtime loss to Washington State by producing a 28-14 win over New Mexico in its Mountain West Conference opener Sept. 14. Senior Montell Cozart stepped into the starting role in place of Brett Rypien and threw for two touchdowns while running for another as the Broncos survived an uncharacteristically sluggish effort that produced just 264 total yards.
TV: 8 p.m. ET, ESPN2. LINE: Boise State -11.5
ABOUT VIRGINIA (2-1): Three different receivers had at least 122 yards and a touchdown last week, led by Doni Dowling (136 yards). Benkert completed 30-of-40 passes and enters this week's action fourth among ACC quarterbacks in completion percentage (66.2) while sitting third in both yards per game (325.3) and TD passes (seven). Junior running back Jordan Ellis had a season-high 95 yards on the ground and found the end zone for the third straight game.
ABOUT BOISE STATE (2-1): Rypien (undisclosed injury) had a streak of 25 consecutive starts snapped last week, a run that started when he threw for 321 yards and three TDs at Virginia two season ago. "He's practicing, he'll practice today and we'll see where he's at through practice," Broncos coach Bryan Harsin told reporters Monday. "He's back out there, threw some last week." Both Rypien and Cozart have leaned heavily on senior wideout Cedrick Wilson (16 catches, 276 yards), while senior tight end Jake Roh matched his career total with three touchdowns (one rushing) against New Mexico.
EXTRA POINTS
1. Boise State DT David Moa was arrested Saturday on a charge of disturbing the peace and Harsin would not comment on whether the junior would play Friday.
2. Cavaliers RB Olamide Zaccheaus has 21 catches over the past two games and needs two more to become the 21st player in program history with 100 career grabs.
3. Boise State forced five turnovers and had four sacks in its win at Virginia two years ago.

Ottawa vs. Winnipeg
Winnipeg-7
On Friday, north of the border, Ottawa will visit Winnipeg. The Redblacks are off an impressive 29-11 road win on Sunday. However, keep in mind that victory came against a Montreal squad which has really been struggling of late. Also, lets not forget that the Redblacks are still a sub-500 team. Now, they play on an extra short week against a very well-rested Winnipeg team. The Bombers, who won by three at Ottawa back in August, were last in action way back on 9/9. They destroyed Saskatchewan by a 48-28 margin in that one. With the schedule in their favor, provided that the line doesn't climb above a touchdown, consider laying the points, the Winnipeg Blue BombersComment
