  "account": "The No. 12 Utah Utes will face off against the Kansas Jayhawks in a Big 12 football matchup on Saturday, August 9, 2026, at Rice-Eccles Stadium in Salt Lake City. Kickoff is scheduled for 8:15 p.m. MDT. The game will be televised on ESPN and streamed live on the ESPN app, as well as on ESPN 700 AM/92.1 FM and KZNS 1280.\n\nThis will be the first time Kansas has played at Rice-Eccles Stadium since the arena was rebuilt in 1998, while the Utes' previous meetings with Kansas were before the renovation. The Jayhawks have had more success against lower-tier opponents, such as Middle Tennessee State and Long Island, but have struggled against power conferences like the Power Four. They lost to Arizona State and Missouri earlier this season.\n\nUtah, on the other hand, has a strong record with four wins and no losses, including a dominant performance against Iowa State in their first competitive matchup of the season. The Utes' defense is expected to be a key factor in the game, as they have been a major matchup problem for Kansas' quarterback, Isaiah Marshall.\n\nRain is expected during the game, which could impact the play style of both teams. Utah's defense is anticipated to pressure Kansas' quarterback, while ball security may become crucial for the Jayhawks. Star Utah running back Wayshawn Parker has been in excellent form, contributing 174 rushing yards against Iowa State, including scoring two touchdowns.\n\nBoth coaches, Utah's Morgan Scalley and Kansas' Lance Leipold, have high praise for each other's teams. Scalley commends Kansas' strong defense, while Leipold respects Scalley's transition from defensive coordinator to head coach. The Utes will look to build on their 5-0 record against Kansas, while the Jayhawks aim to right the ship following their recent losses to higher-tier opponents.",
