NON-CONFERENCE NOTES
Utah is 30-4 in regular season non-conference games since joining the Pac-12 in 2011 and is 21-0 at home during that era.Â
•   Utah's season-opener against Florida marked the first time in Utah's Pac-12 era that it has opened back-to-back seasons against a Power Five opponent.Â
•   It is also the first time since 2004 that the Utes have opened the season with back-to-back Power Five non-conference opponents.Â
THE NUMBERS
•   Head Coach Kyle Whittingham is set to coach in his 356th overall game at Utah and his 230th as head coach on Saturday.Â
•   Utah is 72-54-4 all-time against the current members of the Big 12 with Baylor and Utah facing off for the first time.Â
•   Utah's game against Baylor will mark the 530th road game in program history with Utah holding a 256-261-12 record, including going 15-10 on the road in the last five seasons.Â
•   The Utes are 13-1 in season openers under Whittingham after their win over Florida at home in week one. Â
NEED TO KNOWS
•   Utah entered the season ranked No. 14 in the preseason AP and Coaches Poll, the fifth straight year the Utes have started the season ranked.Â
