Utah Football’s hopes of making the College Football Playoff may be over, but playing for a Conference Championship and Rose Bowl appearance is still a legitimate goal for Kyle Whittingham’s team.

What do they need to show against Washington State on Thursday to indicate they’re still a team capable of capturing a Conference crown in 2022?

On today’s episode of Locked On Pac-12, I’m joined by ‘Locked On Utes’ host JT Wistrcill.

We break down the matchup in Pullman between the Utes and the Cougars, looking at what will define who walks out with a win.

Can Washington State’s offense get things rolling against a Utah defense allowing over 40ppg over its last two outings?

Utah may need some scheduling help, but their Pac-12 championship hopes are very much alive if they win out in 2022.

Are they playing well enough to end the regular season 10-2 with an 8-1 mark in conference play?
