13th-ranked Utes host San Jose State tonight

The 13th-ranked Utah Utes (3-0, 2-0 MWC) host the San Jose State Spartans (1-2, 0-0 WAC) tonight at 6 p.m. MT at Rice-Eccles Stadium. Unfortunately the game will not be televised. However, it is available on AM ESPN 700 in Salt Lake City and online on the radio via kall700sports.com. I am fortunate enough to have a ticket to the game so I will be there and providing updates via my Twitter account at twitter.com/dpaysports.

The Spartans are coming off a 16-11 win over I-AA Southern Utah last Saturday in San Jose. They don't look like a very good team and shouldn't be much of a threat to the Utes tonight. I'm looking for another comfortable win and I'll be disappointed if the game is even close. Jordan Wynn may get back in the line-up tonight after missing the last two games with an injured thumb, but I don't think the Utes should put him out there until he is ready. Terrance Cain will go if Wynn is still banged up.

If you can't get to the game and need something to watch tonight, check out the Giants (87-67) at the Rockies (82-71) at 6:10 p.m. MT here locally on FSN Rocky Mountain and nationally on MLB Network, MLB Extra Innings and mlb.tv. The Giants got a big win in the series opener last night, winning 2-1 behind 8 dominant innings from Tim Lincecum. The Giants lead the Padres (86-67) by a half-game in the NL West. The Padres host the Reds (86-68) at 2:10 p.m. on FOX this afternoon.

Utes drop New Mexico 56-14

The 14th ranked Utah Utes beat the New Mexico Lobos by a score of 56-14 in Albuquerque on Saturday night. Backup quarterback Terrance Cain once again got the start with Jordan Wynn still out with an injured thumb. Cain was outstanding, throwing for 248 yards and 3 touchdowns while connecting on 20 of 23 passes. Cain also rushed for a score just before halftime at the end of a drive where he executed the Utes' two minute offense to perfection.

The offense and defense both looked really good and the game was just a laugher. The only concerning thing was that there were three fumbles by the Utah offense, so hopefully they get that cleaned up. There really wasn't a whole lot to be concerned about but we have to remember that New Mexico is simply a really bad team. The Utes face another really bad team on Saturday when San Jose State visits Rice-Eccles Stadium. Utah is looking really good and I'm feeling good about this team. I expect that they will continue to have a really good year.
