Brent Brennan and the Arizona Wildcats are hosting FOX's Big Noon Kickoff on Saturday, before beginning battle with the undefeated Utah Utes in one of the biggest games in Tucson in a long time.
Kickoff won't happen as originally scheduled, with nationwide flying issues delaying games around the country - and reportedly pushing Utah and Arizona to an 8:30 MST kickoff.
Utah is one of two undefeated teams left in college football, alongside UCLA, but the Utes have also not played a single ranked team away from the confines of Rice-Eccles Stadium in Salt Lake City.
Now they'll do exactly that, taking on No. 23 Arizona - who is undefeated at home this year after narrowly escaping Casino Del Sol Stadium with a win last weekend against TCU.
Kyle Whittingham's departure from Utah to take over at Michigan had many wondering if the Utes hayday was behind them. But Morgan Scalley, who had long been the coach-in-waiting in Salt Lake, has this program humming along as good - or better - than ever.
Scalley has Utah playing some of the best defense in the entire country, holding opponents to just 16.3 points per game - 15th in FBS and second in the Big 12 behind TCU.
The Utes also generate tons of turnovers, with 13 interceptions so far this season - third in the country with the only power conference team ahead of them the lone other undefeated squad in UCLA.
Utah also boasts a phenomenal dual-threat quarterback in Devon Dampier and a star wideout in Braden Pegan, so it goes without saying the Wildcats will have to be firing on all cylinders Saturday evening if they want to pull off a major upset.
Arizona has two more regular season games after this massive showdown with Utah, first travelling to Manhattan, KS to take on the other Wildcats in the Big 12, Kansas State. K-State is tied for last place at 1-5 in the Big 12, having lost three in a row heading into Saturday's road game at TCU.
Then of course Arizona closes the regular season against rival Arizona State on Nov. 28. The Sun Devils are 3-3 in Big 12 play, although all three wins are against the aforementioned 1-5 teams: Kansas State, Colorado, and Kansas.
Those two games are set for Saturday Nov. 21 and 28, respectively, while kickoff times are yet to be determined.
