Utah Football Ready For Oregon In Pac-12 Championship Game
12/2/2019 11:23 AM | Football
THE GAME
The No. 5/5 University of Utah football program is set to take on the No. 13/13 Oregon Ducks in the Pac-12 Championship game on Friday, Dec. 6. The game is set to kick off at 6 p.m. MT on ABC. Â
BACK-TO-BACK
Utah will play in the Pac-12 Championship game for the second straight year after winning the Pac-12 South Title outright both years (2019, 2018). It will be just the second time that Utah has appeared in a conference championship game after sharing the Pac-12 South Title with USC in 2015 with USC owning the tiebreaker. The WAC held a conference championship game during Utah's final three years in the league (1996-98), but the Utes never qualified. Â
UTAH vs. THE PAC-12
Utah is 42-39 against Pac-12 teams as a conference member (.518) and 118-160-6 all-time against Pac-12 schools.
