Baylor-Utah predictions, grading the new Big 12, impactful Week 2 upsets

We're joined by Josh Furlong (@JFurKSL) of KSL-TV in Salt Lake City, along with the Trib's Baylor beat writer Zach Smith (@ByZachSmith) and sports editor Brice Cherry (@BriceCherry) after one week in the books for the Bears.

• Both Baylor and Utah blasted off in Week 1, playing overmatched teams like Tarleton State and Southern Utah. With the Utes as the preseason Big 12 favorite coming in, what kind of game are you expecting Saturday?
• Cam Rising's return went as well as it possibly could, with 5 TDs passing against Southern Utah. Rising's long journey has been well documented, with three college seasons so far where he hasn't played. How beloved is Rising in SLC, and could he "rise" to the Heisman-level ranks?
• The new Big 12 had a solid debut, going 14-2 in Week 1 of the college football season. Which team stood out as the most impressive in the league?
• Week 2 gives us a bunch of tasty Power 4 clashes in Arizona State-Mississippi State, Houston-OU, Colorado-Nebraska, Kansas-Illinois, Iowa-ISU, Cincy-Pitt, Arkansas-OSU and SMU-BYU. Which of these, if the Big 12 were to win, would be the biggest feather in the cap for the conference?
• Culinary corner: Josh gives us some sage advice for good eats in SLC.
• Bonus question: Let's talk about the Rice-Eccles Stadium home advantage. What makes it a special place to play?
