The No. 9 Oregon Ducks (5-1, 2-1 Pac-12) will face the No. 14 Utah Utes (5-1, 2-1 Pac-12) on the road in week 9. 

On Monday the Pac-12 Conference announced that the game will kick off at 12:30 pm PST and the game will be broadcast on Fox.

Oregon is coming off a 36-33 loss to the No. 5 Washington Huskies on the road in Seattle. Bo Nix threw for over 300 yards and Oregon's running backs rattled off 204 rushing yards in a close loss to the Huskies.

Now the Ducks return home in week 8 to face the Washington Cougars, who are 4-2 overall and coming off a 44-6 loss to the Arizona Wildcats at home in Pullman.

Meanwhile over in Salt Lake City, the Utes are preparing for a roadtrip out to Southern California to face defending Heisman Trophy winner Caleb Williams and the USC Trojans after a 20-point win over Cal. The Utes have had a sea-saw battle at quarterback in 2023, switching between Nate Johnson and Bryson Barnes through five games with veteran Cameron Rising still recovering from a knee injury suffered in the Rose Bowl against Ohio State.

Oregon won last year's matchup against Utah by a score of 20-17 in the defense's best performance of the season. The Ducks haven't won in Salt Lake City since they had a true freshman quarterback in Justin Herbert back in 2016.
