Utah beat Oregon in a blowout on November 20 at Rice Eccles Stadium. The final score in that contest was 7-38. 

Now the Utes are forced to tackle the unique challenge of trying to beat a regular-season opponent in their conference title game. 

While some sports experts have played up the difficulty of beating the same team twice, the Deseret News points out roughly 60% of college football teams pull it off. 

Kick-off is set for 6:00 p.m. at the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada. 

Utah State vs San Diego State

The Utah State Aggies travel to Carson, California to play against the San Diego State Aztecs in the Mountain West Conference title game Saturday.
