The banged-up Utah Utes look to get back on track Saturday night when the high-octane Washington State Cougars pay a visit to Rice-Eccles Stadium. Both teams are coming off disappointing losses — the Utes to USC and the Cougars to UCLA. The latter was a late-night thriller in which WSU quarterback Anthony Gordon slung nine TD passes, but it wasn’t enough as the Bruins prevailed, 67-63. Will there be more fireworks Saturday night? The Ute Insiders look ahead to the Utes-Cougars tilt as well as other Ute topics of note, such as the injury to star running back Zack Moss and the start of Ute basketball practices. That and more on this week’s episode.
