Three things to keep an eye on when the Wildcats take on the Utes in Salt Lake City (Saturday, 4:30 p.m. Tucson time, Pac-12 Networks).
Michael Lev Here are three things to watch in the Arizona Wildcats’ game against No. 14 Utah in Salt Lake City , plus a score prediction and some pertinent preview links:
1. WEATHER OR NOTIt was cold in Sale Lake City on Friday. The forecast for Saturday calls for a strong chance of absolutely miserable. The projected high is 46 degrees, with a low 37, but that’s not the story. It’s supposed to rain pretty much all day long. Do the Wildcats stand a chance in those conditions? This will be a test of their mental fortitude. I’ve seen plenty of UA teams in the past fold under similar circumstances.

Whether it’s Tavion Thomas, Micah Bernard, Jaylon Glover or Ja’Quinden Jackson carrying the ball, expect the Utes try run it early and often. Utah is averaging almost 30 fewer rushing yards per game this season vs. last season, but the Utes are still fourth in the Pac-12 at 189.5 yards.
3. NEED FOR SPEEDY?Here’s something we might see Saturday: freshman all-purpose back Rayshon Luke back on the field for the Wildcats. Luke suffered a high-ankle sprain in Week 3, underwent surgery and was deemed “good to go” this week by Fisch. We caught a glimpse of Luke at practice, and he looked fantastic. Whether he plays – or whether he should play – remains to be seen. Luke has played in three games so far. Two more and he loses his redshirt.
