Fri Utast v Byu

Record (6-5)

Utast +7.5

My 2 cents...

Utah St. is ranked 5th with the run. They have Robert Turbin with 8tds in 3 games. Mixing it up, they also use Smith and Williams who are very productive when given the ball (350yrds 3tds combined). Utah St. has lost the ball 6x and that should be expected with the way they run.Their inability to make defensive plays really bothers me. They only have 2 takeaways both fumbles... BUT their defense allows just 269.7 total yrds, 82.7 rushing. They're run defense has ranked them 17th giving up 5tds and just 2.25yards per carry. Opponents 3rd conversion is 25.58% (I really like this figure).

BYU has no offense. I took them last week for their really nice defense. Their defense did their job last week creating 3 turnovers in a win over cfla. BYU is offensively ranked 66th in the pass, 116th run, and 109th with points. They are ranked 62nd against the run and that could very much be the deciding factor to who wins tonight. The defense has allowed just 2 passing tds in their 4 games. I don't see Utast to make plays throught the air anyways. I usually go against a team that is one dimensional (in this case Utast) but Byu has nothing going for them at all.

Robert Turbin has a huge game.

Really like the write up. 

@ I usually go against a team that is one dimensional (in this case Utast): I totally agree, But BYU has nothing on offense either.  Last week they should have lost, but the football gods were on their side in the 2nd half.

I can see BYU winning, but I think this line is too inflated because of last weeks win. 

UTAH ST to cover +8

Please inform me on how BYU wins this game. I cannot see it.

BOL whichever way you choose to go.

Chucky Keeton can't throw effectively, and Utah st isn't going to win this game on the ground, BYU can shut that down.  BYU has the ability to throw the ball, but the question is whether Heaps has his confidence back or not.  Ross Apo looks like he will play, which will help.  I think under is the play, if anything.  Possibly teasing Utah St and the Under is another option.
