WHAT'S AT STAKE?

Oregon State looks to bounce back from a 38-35 loss last weekend to Washington State against visiting Utah on Friday night. The Utes are coming off a 14-7 win at home over UCLA. The Beavers have a six-game winning streak at Reser Stadium. The biggest question surrounding the Utes is the status of sixth-year senior quarterback Cam Rising, who is participating in practice but has yet to play in a game this season after ACL surgery.

KEY MATCHUP

Utah's rushing defense is ranked third in the nation, allowing an average of just 51 yards a game and only 2.02 yards a carry. The Utes have given up just two rushing touchdowns. Oregon State's running game is one of its strengths, with an average of 225 yards a game and 12 rushing touchdowns. Beavers running back Damien Martinez is averaging 108 yards a game.

PLAYERS TO WATCH

Utah: Redshirt freshman quarterback Nate Johnson started the last two games for the Utes in the absence of Rising. Johnson has played in eight career games, rushing for five touchdowns and passing for three. Utah is averaging just 170 passing yards a game.

Oregon State: Martinez is one of just 15 players nationally to have rushed for more than 400 yards this season. He ranks atop the conference with an average of 108 yards a game and 7.6 yards a carry. He had a streak of nine straight games with at least 100 yards rushing snapped last weekend against Washington State, when he rushed for 81.
