Morgan Scalley and Jimmy Rogers are first-year head coaches looking to make an immediate impact at their respective schools in 2026. Scalley has taken over for Utes legend Kyle Whittingham and led the team to a 3-0 start. Rogers has taken over for Matt Campbell who had a very successful run at Iowa State, and the Cyclones are off to a 2-1 start.
While both programs are off to promising starts, none of it will matter unless they play well against Big 12 opponents, making this afternoon's contest a critical one.

Utah vs. Iowa State prediction, pick:
Utah is off to a flying start, having won their first three
games by a combined score of 142-24. Their most notable opponent was Arkansas, but given the Razorbacks' continued struggles, that 43-10 victory might not be as impressive as it seemed a couple of weeks ago.
Iowa State blew out overmatched opponents in Week 1 and Week 3, but lost a nailbiter at Iowa 16-13. Rogers will have to hope for better execution on third down this week, as the Cyclones only went 4/13 against the Hawkeyes.
While the over/under total suggests this is going to be a grind it out type of affair, Utah's offensive firepower could put Iowa State in catch up mode early on. Utes signal caller Devon Dampier may be tested a little more in this one, but should still play well enough to give the Utes a victory without too much stress.
Prediction: Utah 30, Iowa State 20
Best Bet: Utah -8.5
