SALT LAKE CITY, Utah — If you want to catch No. 17 Texas Tech vs. No. 16 Utah this Saturday, here’s your guide. The game kicks off at 12:00 p.m. Eastern / 10:00 a.m. Mountain on FOX.
FOX gets the early Saturday flame just after airing the marquee Friday night show with Iowa-Rutgers, giving fans two high-stakes games early in the weekend on its main network.
It’s Texas Tech vs. Utah at mid-morning!

Ticket Prices & Market Slide-By
- As of Thursday night, get-in tickets at Rice-Eccles Stadium run about $140–$150 for some upper deck or side view seats via Vivid Seats. Lower bowl and prime midfield options go for significantly more, depending on demand.
- Utah’s average ticket price for home games sits around $49, but big matchups — especially ranked vs. ranked — skew that much higher. Fans attending Tech-vs-Utah are paying in “prime battle” territory, even at 10 a.m.
- We’ll start the power 4 slate with a 10 a.m. local kick in Utah and end it with an 11 p.m. Eastern Time Michigan State vs. USC game in Los Angeles, because why not? College Football in 2025. Apologies in advance to Utes and Spartan fans, we feel your pain.
Betting Odds & Total Points Expectations
- The current spread has Utah favored (-2.5) on FanDuel at time of writing.
- The over/under (total points line) is set at 58.5.
- Many projections expect a tight game, probably in the range of high 20s for the loser, maybe low 30s for the winner.
What to Know Going In on Texas Tech vs. Utah
- Both teams are 3–0 to start their seasons; Texas Tech has racked up wins over Pine Bluff, Kent State, Oregon State; Utah has beaten UCLA, Cal Poly, Wyoming.
- Big 12 stakes loom. This game is conference play for both. A loss here complicates conference championship hopes and any hopes of breaking into the college playoff picture.
Why It’s Worth Your Time
FOX has the early card, starting with Iowa-Rutgers Friday night, then this one Saturday morning/afternoon: two key matchups before many fans are off work or cooking tailgate burgers. Utah vs. Tech offers contrasting styles, ranking implications, and enough drama that even if you only half care about the Big 12, you’ll find something to watch.
What a shame that College GameDay passed up on this game or Illinois vs. Indiana.
A bizarre 2025 season gets even more wild on Saturday.
