Result: Loss
On Saturday the Non conference Play is on BYU. Game 346 at 10:15 eastern. BYU fits a solid system that pertains to teams like the Cougars that are off their first win of the season and are now taking on a team like Utah that plays on the road while playing off their first loss of the season. This system has cashed big the last 20+ seasons. BYU has the extra advantage of rest here and Coach Mendenhall has made the rest and extra prep time a tremendous weapon as BYU is 12-0 straight up and 11-1 to the spread when playing off a bye week. Utah has to be shaken after blowing a late lead to Oregon St 51-48. BYU has won 17 of 20 at home when the total is 56.5 to 63. Utah has the 114th ranked pass defense and while this has been a close game the past few seasons, the Utah state of mind comes into play off an over time loss. The Numbers on offense are around the same with both teams averaging over 500 yards. However BYU has played a tougher schedule and still has a defense that allows 60 fewer yards. Look for BYU to get the win and cover here tonight.
