SALT LAKE CITY – The University of Utah football team moved up to the 11th spot in both the Associated Press Top 25 Poll and the Coaches Poll released Sunday.

The Utes are now 8-2 on the season, and face Oregon at Rice-Eccles Stadium on Saturday, Nov. 19.  Kickoff for that game will be at noon, associate sports information director, Liz Abel, announced Sunday.
