For being the BYU Cougars Football Fanatics group, 25 days and 3 games seems like a long time to go between posts.
BYU will get back to the basics this weekend on offense and move the ball with extreme efficiency, no matter what blitz packages the Lobos bring. They may stop BYU on a couple of plays but I don't think they'll be able to stop drives. The defense just needs to bottle up the ground game and they will be fine. They are the only top 25 team to record two shutouts, in fact, only 4 other ranked teams have posted a single shutout (two against Sun Belt teams, one against La Tech, and one against an FCS team-though Auburn's defense has posted two shutouts, in one game the only points they gave up were on a safety given up by the offense on a penalty that occurred in the end zone). Special teams has been pretty solid all year until the Utah State game. I think they will rebound just fine and we might see a kick return go for big yardage finally. Max Hall for over 300, 3+ TDs, Unga for 75, 2 TDs, defense holds UNM to between 200-250 total yards, mostly on the ground and mostly in the second half, and 1 TD, maybe 2. BYU by 27 points.
Utah by 21. They are so devastated that we beat Wyoming by more than they did that they proceed to lose at home next week to CSU.
