Utah Utes CFB Week 13 Betting Lines
For the Utah Utes and head coach Kyle Whittingham, it has been a season of profound disappointment. Utah was a preseason future market favorite to win the Big 12 Conference. Instead, the Utes were battered by injuries that included the loss of QB Cam Rising. Whittingham had to fire his offensive coordinator in late October. The desperation act has failed to change things, and Utah is in free fall and must win its final two games to salvage a bowl game. Last week, the Utes were blown out in a road game against the Colorado Buffaloes.

Utah Utes Weekly Recap
Last game, the Utah Utes lost 49-24 against the Colorado Buffaloes as 13.5-point road dogs. The game went over the total of 43. Utah has a record of 4-6 straight up, 3-7 against the spread, and 3-6-1 over/under the total. Utah ranks 98th for total offense, 79th for passing, 93rd for rushing and 104th for scoring.

The Utes dropped their sixth straight game behind an offense that sputtered early. They were limited to three field goals by Cole Becker before Isaac Wilson connected with Singer. Wilson later hit Caleb Lohner - and converted a two-point conversion - to make it 35-24 with 8:34 remaining.
“Right now, I'm in the ‘Twilight Zone,’” Utah coach Kyle Whittingham said. “It’s the most difficult year of my coaching career, hands down. Not even close.”
Among the guests for Fox's “Big Noon Kickoff” was Peggy Coppom, the Buffaloes' super-fan who turns 100 on Tuesday. The crowd of 54,646 - fourth-largest in school history - sang her happy birthday in the fourth quarter.
At 4-6, the Utes' streak of 10 straight winning seasons is in jeopardy. “Keep moving forward,” tight end Carsen Ryan said, “trying to make a bowl game.”
Shedeur Sanders overcame a shaky start to throw three touchdown passes, LaJohntay Wester returned a punt 76 yards for a score, and No. 18 Colorado pulled away late to beat Utah 49-24 on Saturday.
Winners of four straight, the Buffaloes remain in the driver's seat for an appearance in the conference title game and possibly a spot in the College Football Playoff. They've doubled their win total from a season ago when they finished 4-8.
Sanders threw an interception on his first pass of the game and later lost a fumble. But he settled in and finished 30 of 41 for 340 yards. He connected twice on TD passes with Will Sheppard. Sanders has thrown 27 TD passes, one away from matching the single-season school record set by Sefo Liufau in 2014.

The Utah Utes have never won a national championship but boast 25 conference titles in their history. Utah has posted double-digit win seasons in their last two fully scheduled campaigns. Whittingham has had seven double-digit win seasons since 2008 and led Utah to a national ranking of 2nd that year.
Whittingham is a former national coach of the year and a 2-time Pac-12 coach of the year.
Previously head coach Ron McBride was the first consistent winner at Utah. McBride put Utah in six bowl games from 1990 through 2002. He led Utah to a final national ranking of 10th in 1994.
Urban Meyer coached only two years at Utah but led a 12-0 season in 2004 and a final national ranking of 4th. Meyer parlayed that success into a job in Florida, where he won two national championships.
The Utes are in their greatest era of glory, and the best may yet be coming.
