SALT LAKE CITY – The ESPN College Gameday crew made their predictions for Utah’s big Pac-12 showdown against the UCLA Bruins at Rice-Eccles Stadium.
College Gameday was in East Lansing ahead of a top-10 showdown between No. 6 Michigan and No. 8 Michigan State. Desmond Howard, Lee Corso and Kirk Herbstreit made their predictions for Utah and UCLA. Comedian and actor Ken Jeong was the celebrity guest picker.
Out of the four individuals, only Desmond Howard picked the Utes to beat the Bruins.
“I am going Utah,” stated Howard. “They are a tougher team at home. Defensively, they will stop the run.”
The Michigan State fans weren’t happy with this pick …

In the fan vote, UCLA took 66% of the votes. Jeong picked UCLA because his wife attended medical school in Westwood. Corso and Herbstreit picked the Bruins without an explanation.
Last week, the fan vote, along with Howard, Corso, Herbstreit and celebrity guest picker Bill Walton went with the Utes to beat Oregon State.
Utah and UCLA will kickoff at 8 p.m. MDT on ESPN.
