Big Turnaround for Both Teams
Utah went 5-7 in 2024 for its first losing record in 11 years.
The Utes more than turned it around this season and even had a shot at making the College Football Playoff.
“It's going to be corny, but in spring ball there was a different feel with the team,” Utes linebacker Lander Barton said. “Guys were a lot closer than they've been in the past. Everyone felt like one big, true family.”
Utah is a two-touchdown favorite at Sportsbook, but Nebraska head coach Matt Rhule pointed out that four of the Cornhuskers' five losses were to ranked teams.
Nebraska is trying to return to the glory days of a program that routinely competed for national championships, and this is the first time the Huskers have posted consecutive winning seasons since 2014.
“We've made ourselves respectable, but we want to get over the hump,” Rhule said. “This is a great opportunity for that.”
