Utah-UCLA game moved back a day to Saturday

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Pac-12 Conference has moved Utah’s game at UCLA to Saturday.

It was originally scheduled for Friday, but Utah has had a rise in positive COVID-19 cases. The game will now begin at 8:30 p.m. MST.

The Utes’ opener against Arizona scheduled for this past weekend was canceled when the number of positive cases put them below the conference’s minimum of 53 available scholarship players.
