Block U, a Utah Utes community

Utes are set to take on San Diego State in a huge conference game.

Utah is looking for a 4-0 Mountain West start. But the Cowboys have other plans - to scare the Utes enough for a shocker on Halloween.

Utah has had a history of struggling against Air Force. This week's game might be the most important in recent memory - as it marks the first real test the Utes have faced since their Oregon defeat.

Historically, the Utes and Falcons have battled to close contests. Though Utah owns a 5-1 record over the last six meetings, you get the sense Saturday will play out exactly as it has the last six years.
