> Utah has won 16 straight home games since losing to Air Force on Sept. 8, 2007.
> The Utah-SDSU series has been a tale of two decades, with the Aztecs winning seven of 10 before the Utes turned the tables by winning eight of the last 10. Utah is 8-6 against the Aztecs at home and has won four of the last five in Rice-Eccles Stadium. For more on the series and last year's recap, see the boxed inset on page 2.
> TCU's 55 points last week was the most by a Utah opponent since San Diego State pinned 66 on the Utes in 1990.
> Utah is 4-4 all-time in games played on Nov. 21. Saturday's game marks the first time in 69 years the Utes have played a team other than Brigham Young or Utah State on Nov. 21. Utah's last win on Nov. 21 was in 1970 (vs. BYU) and its last loss on Nov. 21 was in 1998 (to BYU).
> Last week's loss to TCU snapped a 13-game Mountain West Conference win streak for Utah.
> After last week, the Utes are now 7-1 all-time in games when both they and their opponent are ranked in the Associated Press poll.
> Utah has won 22 of its last 24 games and 29 of its last 32 games.
