Arizona State took a 13-0 lead at home in the first quarter of their Thursday-night #Pac12AfterDark matchup against Utah. The upset in the making never came to fruition, though, as the Utes took a 21-20 lead into halftime and then turned the screws after the intermission. Joe Williams had another big game, rushing for 181 yards and two touchdowns and quarterback Troy Williams threw for 296 yards and four scores. While the Sun Devils were able to pass against the Utes, but Kyle Whittingham’s team held Kalen Ballage to just 46 rushing yards.

As long as Utah knocks off Oregon at home next weekend, they will be in line to win the Pac-12 South when they face Colorado in Boulder on Thanksgiving weekend. The Utes were ranked two spots lower in the College Football Playoff rankings than they were in the AP Top 25. None of that matters, though, because if they win out Utah will set itself up to play either a neutral-site rematch against Washington or a showdown with Washington State for the conference crown.
