Utah and Cincinnati face off in a pivotal Big 12 showdown with College GameDay in attendance at Rice Eccles Stadium. The Utes enter as 8.5-point favorites, but quarterback Devin Dampier's injury status looms large over their offensive game plan. Utah's elite offensive line leads the Big 12 in rushing, featuring two likely first-round NFL draft picks, while defensive standout John Henry Daly has racked up 9.5 sacks to lead the conference.

JT from Locked On Utes and Jeff from Locked On Bearcats break down the critical matchups that will decide this game. Cincinnati's explosive offense has outscored opponents 97-10 in first quarters this season, with quarterback Brendan Sorsby making efficient decisions behind an offensive line that's allowed just two sacks all year. The hosts analyze Cincinnati's bend-but-don't-break defensive philosophy anchored by defensive tackle Dontay Corleone, Utah's ability to create third-and-long situations for complex blitzes, and how altitude and atmosphere at Rice Eccles Stadium could impact the Bearcats. They discuss what's at stake for both programs' Big 12 championship aspirations and provide their predictions for this nationally televised night game.

Tune in now for comprehensive analysis of this crucial Big 12 matchup and what it means for both teams' conference title hopes.
