Utah defeated Cal Poly 63–9 in a dominant performance. Utah covered by 11.5; Game went Over by 19.5. The market closed at Utah -42.5 and the Blue Chip model made it Utah -52.1 - a gap of 9.6 points toward Utah, of which 8.3 points were beyond the model's measured factors. That was an information gap - the market pricing something the model does not carry - rather than a measured edge.
Cal Poly used three quarterbacks and moved the ball at times, but were clearly outclassed by Utah's defense and offense, resulting in a 63-9 blowout loss.
The Mustangs threw a pick-six to Jackson Bennee, continuing a defensive scoring streak for Utah, and struggled to sustain drives against a stout Utes defense.
Cal Poly managed two field goals from Noah Serna and one from Gianluca Dimauro, showing some reliability in the kicking game despite the lopsided score.
Cal Poly hosts Western Oregon next Saturday, a more evenly matched FCS opponent where they can look to rebound and correct offensive and defensive deficiencies.
