If you follow either team, mark Saturday. No. 7 BYU (7-1) visits No. 3 Utah (8-0) in the first Holy War between two top-10 teams, and the winner takes a significant step toward controlling its own destiny in the race.

BYU has won three straight in the rivalry, and coach Kalani Sitake spent 10 years at Utah as an assistant and coordinator. “I know there’s a high sense of urgency,” he said. “That’s what I love about this game.” The models like the Utes, though: Dimers gives them a 66% chance.

  • Kickoff: 10 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 7, at
  • TV: ABC4, with a pregame show at 9 a.m.
  • Big 12 records: Utah 5-0, BYU 4-1

The wild card is running back LJ Martin, the reigning Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year, who has missed most of the last five games with a lower leg injury. Sitake said the next 48 hours will show more, and his next public appearance is his coach's show Tuesday night.

The Wrap

You may have passed the Provo Community Congregational United Church of Christ on University Avenue a hundred times. The church has stood there for more than 100 years, and its council moderator, Dave Lewis, says plenty of people tell him they've never been inside. It started as the Provo Congregational Church in 1891. Consider this the neighborly nudge.
