Martin will be the constant at running back, but Bachmeier has a very gettable rushing line. If he gets anywhere close to double-digit carries, this feels like an easy over against a team allowing 153 rush yards per game.
Ryan has hit the 40-yard receiving plateau in three of the Cougars’ four games this season. His only miss was a three-catch, 36-yard effort against Stanford. Ryan had his best receiving game of the year by far last season against Colorado, with four catches for 78 yards.
West Virginia's biggest problems are on offense, but the defense isn't a whole lot better. The Mountaineers have allowed 40+ points in consecutive games and rank 97th in opponent yards per passing attempt. BYU hasn't needed QB Bear Bachmeier to set the world on fire, but the freshman has been more than reliable. He's averaging 200 passing yards per game at 7.6 yards per attempt with no interceptions in three matchups vs. FBS opponents this season. His passing yards prop is low enough here to attack the Over.
BYU -19.5 (-110)
West Virginia's offense is broken. Rich Rodriguez's system always needs specific player types in the backfield and an offensive line with a certain chemistry, and that is difficult to find in Year One. It is proving even more difficult to find this year. BYU's defense should stifle it further, making as few as 27 points perhaps enough to cover this spread.
