ESPN’s College GameDay will broadcast from the University of Utah in Salt Lake City ahead of the Utes’ Big 12 matchup with Houston, returning to the state one week after the show visited BYU. It is the seventh time Utah has hosted the program, which is scheduled to air Saturday morning from Presidents’ Circle. Utah enters the game undefeated and on a 12-game winning streak after narrowly beating Colorado, while Houston also arrives ranked after a win over Oklahoma State. The game is set for Saturday evening at Rice-Eccles Stadium.
