That's a huge spread. I'm not sure I'd take BYU 16.5+ at home. Also, this line hasn't moved since it was set months ago, which means either limited action, or equal action based on the line.

No idea....none whatsoever. We're not even sure who our starting QB is if rumors about the NCAA issue are true.

I'd prefer a win by 6 than a win by 16. I want Texas to over look us. I know we've been circled on their calendar, but I still want them to be overconfident. A close win also causes us to be a lot more introspective and self-critical about what to do to improve. BYU has a history of getting cocky with a bit of success and then going down in flames. I want a win that gives us confidence with enough fear to buckle down for a tough UT game.

Offense is always slower to get rolling, so I said no.

I said yes. I have A LOT of doubts, but I have this weird feeling that we are going to show up and click. Can't wait!

We all want this, but the odds are against it. Had I been to some practices to watch Leslie, Blackmon, Dye and all the new guys play I might have a different opinion. Did we pick up top talent in the receiving corps? I sure hope so, but we won't see 2 of them in week 1 regardless.

Rumors of 5 suspended players plus Kurtz injury notwithstanding, I changed my vote to yes. I have been suckered in by the hype on this offense, crappy scrimmage notwithstanding.

Anae just might be the guy. Wisconsin DC says Anae is totally unpredictable because he just runs a bunch of plays with no rhyme or reason. Whooped Butt on Houston DC for 3 of 4 quarters. Destroyed Texas DC and HC careers.

I voted no, the only way BYU wins by 16+ is if we score 17 and we shut them out. Bronco's BYU offenses simply have done nothing substantial in opening road games. In 06, John Beck and the boys averaged over 35 pts per game and only scored like 13 in the opener at AZ.

With Taysom? I think so.

Without Taysom (JSwagg, and the rest). I really doubt it.
