Oregon State ... Utah ... who wins?

Is Utah going to finally break through and pick up a solid conference win? Or will past conference openers haunt the program and send 'em into a death spiral toward the program's second straight losing season?

Soon, we'll have that answer.

I don't know what to expect Saturday. I feel good about the Utes' chances, but I could see this game playing out in a variety of different ways - from a loss to a blowout to an offensive shootout.

But I believe Utah is going to win. For the first time since the end of the 2011 season, Utah actually has momentum. Which is kinda scary because the last time they had momentum, and a division to win, they face planted at home against Colorado. Still, I hope (I guess) they've learned their lesson.

I actually expect a high scoring game ... with Utah winning 35 to 24.

Hope I'm right.

What's your prediction?
