ESPN《大学比赛日》空降盐湖城：比尔队球星金凯德力挺母校犹他大学不败
2026年10月24日星期六，ESPN王牌大学橄榄球节目《大学比赛日》（College GameDay）来到盐湖城犹他大学校园内的总统圈（Presidents Circle），为当晚排名第10的犹他大学迎战排名第14的休斯顿大学的焦点大战预热。
担任本期客座预测嘉宾的是布法罗比尔队近端锋、犹他大学校友道尔顿·金凯德（Dalton Kincaid），他在节目中坚定看好母校延续不败战绩。金凯德在节目中说，夜幕下的莱斯-埃克尔斯体育场（Rice-Eccles Stadium）有一种独特的魔力，学生助威团的声浪会让对手见识到在盐湖城比赛的滋味，因此他每天、每时每刻都支持犹他大学。
金凯德2020年至2022年效力于犹他大学，共完成107次接球、推进1414码、达阵16次，帮助球队连续赢得太平洋十二校联盟冠军，2023年选秀首轮第25顺位被比尔队选中。本赛季犹他大学6胜0负，在大十二联盟中3胜0负，保持着全美大学橄榄球最长的12连胜；休斯顿大学则为6胜1负。节目中，德斯蒙德·霍华德（Desmond Howard）与尼克·萨班（Nick Saban）也看好犹他大学，而柯克·赫布斯特里特（Kirk Herbstreit）则预测休斯顿大学将送给犹他大学赛季首败。
ESPN’s College GameDay Lands in Salt Lake City; Bills Star Kincaid Backs Unbeaten Utah
On Saturday, October 24, 2026, ESPN's flagship college football show, College GameDay, came to Presidents Circle on the University of Utah campus in Salt Lake City to preview that night's marquee matchup between No. 10 Utah and No. 14 Houston.
The guest picker was Buffalo Bills tight end and Utah alumnus Dalton Kincaid, who firmly backed his alma mater to stay unbeaten. Kincaid said Rice-Eccles Stadium at night has a unique magic and that the student section's noise would show opponents what playing in Salt Lake City is like — he backs Utah every day, all the time.
Kincaid played at Utah from 2020 to 2022, catching 107 passes for 1,414 yards and 16 touchdowns and helping the Utes win consecutive Pac-12 titles, before the Bills drafted him 25th overall in 2023. Utah is 6-0 this season, 3-0 in the Big 12, and owns the nation's longest active winning streak at 12 games; Houston is 6-1. On the show, Desmond Howard and Nick Saban also picked Utah, while Kirk Herbstreit predicted Houston would hand Utah its first loss of the season.
