Matchup analysis
Iowa State’s rushing explosion was the foundation of its last win; Utah’s ability to prevent that sort of easy ground production is the central matchup. Utah also showed it could extend possessions through the passing game. Both comfortable wins came against lesser opposition, so the useful question is which team can reproduce its efficiency when the first option is taken away.
