Unbeaten Utah heads to Tucson for late-night date with Arizona

No. 23 Arizona gets a 10:30 p.m. ET shot at No. 2 Utah, one of only two unbeaten teams left in major college football.

Utah rolls into Tucson at 9-0 overall and 6-0 in Big 12 play, still chasing an unimpeded march toward the conference title and a first national championship. The Utes have won their last three games by at least eight points, most recently a 28-20 win over BYU in the Holy War on Nov. 7, which first-year head coach Morgan Scalley called his biggest win of the season.

Arizona sits at 7-2 overall and 4-2 in the Big 12, fresh off a one-point win over TCU on Nov. 6. No team has beaten Utah yet this season, and the Wildcats are the only Big 12 team still with a chance to be the first. They have already done it twice before, in 2023 and 2024, and a win Saturday would be a big step toward Big 12 Championship contention.

Devon Dampier has been the engine for Utah, running for two touchdowns and throwing for two more against BYU. He has 20 touchdown passes on the season, fourth-best in the Big 12, plus 482 rushing yards and seven rushing scores, including a 150-yard outing against Houston on Oct. 24. Arizona will lean on a defense that has racked up 28 sacks, six of them from Chase Kennedy, as it tries to slow him down.

The game kicks off Saturday, Nov. 14, 2026, at Casino Del Sol Stadium.
