With FOX's "Big Noon Kickoff" setting the stage for a ranked-vs-ranked matchup on Saturday, there's a lot at stake between Utah and Texas Tech when the two battle it out on the field at Rice-Eccles Stadium.

Host Josh Furlong previews the matchup, with a deeper dive in the advanced stats of the first three games of the season for both teams, despite relatively weak schedules.

He's later joined by Texas Tech beat writer Don Williams to get a Texas Tech perspective on the game.

Is this game a preview of the Big 12 championship game? Is this the beginning of the end for one of these teams? Does one team have more pressure on them than the other?
