No. 4 – Utah Utes

Position: Quarterback

2018 Record: 9-5 (6-3)

Game Info: November 23 (Saturday) | TBD | Tucson, AZ (Arizona Stadium)

Record vs Utah: 19-23-2 (Utah won the last match-up 42-10 in Salt Lake City in 2018)

Utah has been a thorn in the Wildcats’ side for the past few years now. They have a great blend of talent, coaching and toughness that Arizona just hasn’t been able to match, and after a tremendous 2018 season, the Utes should be poised to make another strong run in 2019.

The Utes virtually return every offensive producer from last season, most notably quarterback Tyler Huntley and running back Zack Moss.

Defensively, they definitely lose a few important pieces, but ultimately will have plenty of size along the defensive front, and should have a pretty competitive group overall.

With that said, it should be a no brainer why this game ranks No. 4 on our list.
