Utah played in what was the most boring conference championship of the 2018 season. Utah took on Washington in the Pac-12 Conference Championship Game and lost, 10-3. Frankly, this game frustrated many Pac-12 fans. Additionally, the questionable officiating  made this game even more aggravating for everyone involved.

Despite a disappointing performance in the championship game, Utah put together an impressive season out of the Pac-12 South.

We can expect much of the same from the Utes, especially with Tyler Huntley returning for his senior year. Huntley was injured in the middle of the season in 2018, but was well on his way to a notable junior year performance.

With the game being played in Utah, Tyler Huntley returning, and the Utes having a bye week prior to the Bruins’ arrival, the outcome is fairly clear. UCLA will be taking their first loss since the middle of September.

Final: UCLA 17, Utah 27 (7-3, 5-2)
