Lil Nas X will join Stanford Steve for the “You Had One Job” segment. Burrell will break down the matchup for Oregon ahead of kickoff.
The last time that Utah beat Oregon was in the 2021 Pac-12 Championship game. Oregon won last year’s matchup 20-17 in a close affair.
The Utes upset USC in their last game thanks to a 38-yard field goal as time expired. Oregon is coming off of a win over Washington State in Autzen Stadium as Bo Nix set the NCAA record for most career starts.
One of these teams will leave the field with two losses. Kickoff will be at 12:30 p.m. PT on FOX.
