It’s made with chuck-brisket beef, Duke’s mayonnaise, American cheese and onion on a potato roll, and is served medium rare unless requested otherwise.

Old conference foes Utah, Washington reunite amid unbeaten starts

In a clash of former Pac-12 foes, Utah and Washington will look to maintain their undefeated starts when they meet Saturday in Salt Lake City. The Utes (3-0) are coming off an up-and-down 85-64 home win over Weber State, while the Huskies (2-0) head into the road contest after defeating Mississippi Valley State 77-64 in Seattle. After trailing by seven points at halftime, Utah pulled away with a 20-0 second-half run that included five points from Alec Anigbata and back-to-back dunks by Babacar Faye. That surge was part of a dominant 55-27 second half for the Utes, who also showed stretches of inconsistency and strong play in previous wins over Long Beach State and Towson. "Really good second half. Our guys responded well," Utah coach Alex Jensen said. "Just need to get better at not waiting until we get down to pick up the intensity and everything. You know, a lot of things we need to work on individually and collectively to get better, but hopefully we can put together a full game of that intensity." Utah's latest win, part of a five-game homestand to open the season, featured a career-high 21 points from Anigbata. Jackson Holcombe added 18 points,
