Brent Brennan is set to coach against a ranked opponent for the 10th time this Saturday at Utah, still in search of his first victory. In nine previous games against ranked teams during his San Jose State tenure, he has not won, with his last defeat being a 31-7 loss to #14 Kansas State. Brennan’s teams have consistently struggled defensively, allowing over 30 points in eight of those games, and over 40 points in five. In contrast, Arizona has been performing well, recently securing five wins against ranked opponents during a seven-game winning streak. This matchup against Utah marks a critical juncture for both Brennan and Arizona's performance narrative against ranked teams.
