I really like Fresno in this game. First of all they did not play nearly as bad as the final score indicated last week against Ole Miss, but any time you give up 70 points you are going to be huge under dogs the next week. This is a buy low situation for me, because I think Fresno State will be an improved team under Tim DeRuyter who is a very good coach. Fresno tough team at home going 18-2 there under DeRuyter.
Utah meanwhile comes into this game off high expectations, and everyone is high on this team being ranked in the top 25. However, this is a team that just does not have a very good offense, and they are without a DE and their starting QB for this game. Devonte Booker is their best player at RB, and I just don't see Utah being able to win this game by more than a TD on Booker's back. I expect Booker who had 31 carries last week to get less action with Oregon up next. Utah definitely a tough situational spot after playing a huge game last week against their instate rival of Utah State with a look ahead of Oregon. Utah did win this game 59-27 at home last year, but they are a much better team at home, and were only 13 point favorites in a down year for Fresno. I think Utah's offense is worse than last year, and I believe Fresno actually improves on their record from last year. Don't be surprised to see a very tight match up in the second half here.
