Utah Football: 3 bold predictions for Pac-12 title game vs. Oregon

Utah football is looking to punch its ticket to the playoff with a win over Oregon in Friday night’s Pac-12 Championship Game. Who wins?

If you’re looking for a potential toss-up game during championship week, search no further than Levi’s Stadium for the Pac-12 title. Utah will take on Oregon for a chance to represent the Pac-12 in the College Football Playoff, but the Ducks will be no easy task.

Oregon is actually two weeks removed from an Arizona State upset loss that knocked the Ducks out the playoff race. Utah, on the other hand, has won eight in a row, rising all the way to No. 5 in the playoff poll. This team is as hot as any in the country and even though Paul Finebaum may not want to see the Utes in the playoff, the nation sure does.

Without further ado, what will happen during Friday night’s Pac-12 title game?

3. Zack Moss rushes for 150 yards

The most underrated running back in the entire country resides in Salt Lake City. Zack Moss spent the last few weeks of the 2018 season injured and still managed to reach the 1,000-yard mark on the season and he decided to come back for his senior year and he’s hit that plateau yet again. He’s at nearly 1,300 yards, and not done yet.

Oregon has one of the better run defenses in the country, allowing just over 100 yards per game, so this seems like a daunting task for Moss, but he’s been on a tear lately and that’s not going to change on Friday.

Moss will not only break 100 yards, but he’ll hit at least 150 yards rushing on the day for the second time in his past three outings. He’ll add a couple of touchdowns and put himself over 1,400 yards on the season heading into the postseason.

Sorry, Oregon, your defense is good but it won’t be enough to slow Moss.
