T.M. Selection: BYU.

I like BYU to cover the spread against Utah State on Friday. BYU is ranked 13th in the country and they have had a strong 4-0 start to their season this year. All 4 of their wins this year have been by 8+ points. Baylor Romney got his first start of the season in their last game against USF and he was great in that game with 3 TDs and 300+ passing yards. Their receivers have a lot of talent on this team and when they throw the ball they have options on who to go to, there were 2 receivers in their last game with 100+ receiving yards on the day. Utah State started their season strong going 3-0 against subpar teams but once they played a real tough opponent in their last game, they were blown out 27-3, failing to score even a touchdown in that game. The talent level is just too different between these 2 teams here. BYU is much better and they will be looking to have a very strong season and try to make a case for the playoffs for themselves, and that means going undefeated is a requirement. They will be able to shut down Utah State here with their defense so I like BYU to cover the spread against them.

T.M Prediction: 34-20 BYU.
