Since quarterback Brian Johnson's arrival in 2004, Utah has only beaten its archrival once. During that game, Johnson wasn't even on the field.

Utah and BYU both have high-powered and productive offensive weapons this season, although when comparing the two schools, the firepower comes from two different sources.

With the innovations of the spread offense and getting players out in space, teams are trying to find quicker, faster players. This is especially true for the running back position.

One has statistics that other quarterbacks only dream of. The other leads an undefeated team with the inside track to a Bowl Championship Series game.

As Utah tries to make the dreams of four years ago into another reality, it's fitting that the one team standing between an 11-0 Utah team and another lucrative bowl appearance is archrival BYU.

Brian Johnson threw for a career-high five touchdowns on 27-for-38 passing and the No. 7 Utes (11-0, 7-0) earned a share of the Mountain West Conference Championship with a 63-14 throttling of San Diego State.

But heading into the final two weeks of the regular season, his football team's record is and it has a lot to do with what the senior quarterback has been able to do, particularly in the fourth quarter.

Who has the edge in the upcoming game of Utah vs. San Diego State?

Ten games into an undefeated season, Utah is headed toward a great vacation climate.

No team wants to finish last. The San Diego State Aztecs, however, are heading in that exact direction.
