SALT LAKE CITY — After watching BYU and Utah face ranked opponents this weekend, fill the rest of your Saturday by watching one of these non-local college football games.
No. 20 Duke at No. 18 Louisville
Saturday, Oct. 28 at 1:30 p.m. MDT (ESPN)
Duke continues to shock fans as a top-25 contender for the eighth week in a row this season. The Blue Devils may have lost last week's game to No. 4 Florida State, but they were able to keep the game close until everything seemed to fall apart in the fourth quarter.
Louisville is coming off a bye week as well and a Week 7 loss to Pitt. Turnovers seem to be a key mistake for the Cardinals, which will need to be avoided if they hope to take down Duke.
No. 3 Ohio State at Wisconsin
Saturday, Oct. 28 at 5:30 p.m. MDT (NBC)
Ohio State remains undefeated after a 20-12 win over Penn State in Week 8. The Buckeyes pose a serious threat to any competitor they face at this point as they rank third in scoring defense, allowing only 10 points per game.
But there may be some wiggle room for Wisconsin as Ohio State is struggling to run the ball; they're rank 101st in rushing. The Badgers also sit in first place in the Big Ten West, which would make this game a cross-divisional matchup worth watching.
Colorado at No. 23 UCLA
Saturday, Oct. 28 at 5:30 p.m. MDT (ABC)
With a bye week for the Buffaloes, Colorado and UCLA's most recent opponent was Stanford; however, both games produced very different results. Colorado suffered a 46-43 double overtime loss after being up 29-0 at halftime in Week 7, while the Bruins crushed Stanford 42-7 last week.
Colorado seemed to be at the top of the world when the season began, but three losses in the last four games did not bode well on their ranking. Despite the odds being in UCLA's favor, Coach Prime hopes to recover the season with a win at the Rose Bowl. As for the Bruins, the offense is averaging 31.3 points per game and look forward to a potential sixth win for the season.
No. 11 Oregon State at Arizona
Saturday, Oct. 28 at 8:30 p.m. MDT (ESPN)
Oregon State is coming off their bye week and a 36-24 win over UCLA in Week 7. The Beavers continue to be consistent with quarterback DJ Uiagalelei throwing 1,573 yards this season thus far.
Arizona is also coming off their bye week and a successful Week 7 win when they took down then-No. 19 Washington State 44-6. The Wildcats hope to carry that momentum into Week 9.
No. 21 Tennessee at Kentucky
Saturday, Oct. 28 at 5 p.m. MDT (ESPN)
After falling to Alabama in Week 8, Tennessee hopes to bounce back this week with a win in Kentucky. Even though the Volunteers' passing game has struggled the past few weeks with less than 130 yards in the last three games, their defense continues to be a strong force for opponents by only allowing 110 rushing yards per game.
Kentucky is on a two-game losing streak and will need to bring extra fire in order to take down Tennessee. The main goal for the Wildcats will be reducing the amount of unnecessary mistakes and penalties that could lose them the game.
