All eyes will be on the Utah Utes and Oregon Ducks Friday night in Santa Clara, California. Can Utah stretch its winning streak to nine games and earn one of two things: a berth in the College Football Playoff or its first Rose Bowl invitation? Dirk Facer and rest of the Ute Insiders weigh in on the game and discuss the importance of style points, among other things. They also talk Utah men’s basketball (the Utes and Cougars meet Wednesday in the Huntsman Center) and women’s college volleyball (Utah faces Illinois in the NCAA first round in Provo Friday). That and more on this week’s episode.
