Football: BYU vs Utah Saturday

This is rivalry week in Utah, with the University of Utah hosting Brigham Young University. The game is always an exciting, hard-fought battle. This year it only counts for bragging rights, since BYU has already clinched the Mountain West Conference title and earned a trip to the Las Vegas Bowl.

Still, there will be plenty of stunts around Provo and Salt Lake City this week, and traffic will be a mess Saturday afternoon on streets leading up the hill to Rice-Eccles Stadium on the U of U campus in Salt Lake.
