Through 3 Quarters

The BYU Cougars are just one quarter away from delivering their fans the win they've been expecting all week. It's looking more and more like their high-powered offense is just too much for the Boise State Broncos as BYU lead 38-3. This contest looks like it will end up very different from the tight three-point margin of the Cougars' win over Boise State in their previous head-to-head October of last year.

BYU has been relying on QB Zach Wilson, who has passed for two TDs and 302 yards on 25 attempts in addition to punching in one rushing touchdown, and LB Tyler Allgeier, who has rushed for one TD and 112 yards on ten carries. That touchdown -- an 86-yard rush in the first quarter -- was one of the highlights of the game.

BYU is struggling to protect the pocket and have allowed three sacks. They are going to have to protect Wilson better if they want to hold on to their lead.

What to Know

The BYU Cougars have enjoyed the comforts of home their last two games, but now they must head out on the road. They will square off against the Boise State Broncos at 9:45 p.m. ET Friday at Albertsons Stadium. BYU is looking to extend their current seven-game winning streak.

The Cougars took their contest against the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers last week by a conclusive 41-10 score. The game was all but wrapped up at the end of the third, by which point BYU had established a 38-10 advantage. Their QB Zach Wilson did his thing and passed for three TDs and 224 yards on 32 attempts in addition to rushing for one TD and 35 yards.

Meanwhile, Boise State didn't have too much trouble with the Air Force Falcons on the road last week as they won 49-30. Boise State's QB Jack Sears was on fire, passing for three TDs and 280 yards on 20 attempts in addition to rushing for one TD and 36 yards. Sears had some trouble finding his footing against the Utah State Aggies two weeks ago, so this was a step in the right direction.

BYU is the favorite in this one, with an expected 3.5-point margin of victory. They have been consistent moneymakers against the spread when favored (4-1-1), so they might be worth a quick bet.

Their wins bumped the Cougars to 7-0 and the Broncos to 2-0. BYU has been dynamite on the offensive side of the ball, averaging 44.43 points per game. We'll see if Boise State can find some way to disarm them.
