From Deseret News archives:
Utah game day
Sunny and warm during the day and clear at night.
Today, 6 p.m. Amon G. Carter Stadium (44,008/grass) Fort Worth, Texas
TV: Versus (DirecTV Ch. 603, Dish Network Ch. 151, Comcast Ch. 34)
Radio: 700AM
PLAYER TO WATCH
CHASE ORTIZ, TCU: The senior defensive end leads the Mountain West Conference in sacks (0.71 per game) and tackles-for-loss (1.50 per game). Ortiz is a two-time, first-team all-conference honoree.
KEY MATCHUP
UTAH'S OFFENSE vs. TCU'S DEFENSE: The Utes may need to put plenty of points on the board to hop past the Horned Frogs. TCU has won 53 consecutive games when holding opponents to 17 points or less.
THE STAKES
For TCU ... The Horned Frogs are also trying to keep their conference hopes alive. A victory would put them at .500 in league play at the midway point. Another loss could be too much to overcome.
THE TRENDS
For Utah ... The Utes have dominated the ground game in their four wins this season. They've outrushed the opposition by an average of 202-71 yards per game. Tailback Darrell Mack has topped 100 yards in each outing.
For TCU ... The Horned Frogs are 37-5 at Amon G. Carter Stadium since 2000. Six of the past 11 teams to visit Fort Worth have failed to score a touchdown.
THE EDGE
Utah will win if ... the Utes can maintain the consistency they've built in recent weeks. Offense, defense and special teams have got to stay on the same page for the injury riddled program to continue its win streak.
