I Fully Expect BYU . . .

Post by BYULV »

. . . to beat Boise Friday night. Not sure on the score, because this team is suddenly so young and unpredictable, but they get the W for the first time on the smurf turf. This is a character and team defining game. I see a lot of character in this group of players and I expect them to find a way to win. It will be fun to watch.

to play much better on the road than they do at home. Home cooking and families around or whatever apparently makes this team weak. This goes back many seasons now. BYU will put up a fight in Boise--especially if it's true that Bronco decided to wake from his coma and run the D.

Finally have some success throwing over the top.


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.

.........BSU to shred our secondary unless BYU can get pressure on the QB.
..........BYU to start strong and come out fighting and possibly get up two TDs only to come out flat in the second half and make this game competitive when it shouldnt be.
........once BYU does lose the Mo, BSU fans will take over and make it difficult for BYU to win.
......sigh.......a loss. 42-35 BSU

...to play football today. Beyond that, I have no idea what to expect anymore from week to week.


I'm just a regular, everyday normal guy,
I can't afford a car, I use public transportation,
I don't mind, I read till I reach my destination,
sometimes a newspaper, sometimes a book,
the money I save, this stuff is off the hook,

to be able to throw the ball, BSU has given up some big passing numbers on defense, just like the Cougars. BSU gives up about 250 yds per game, which includes a game against Air Force who only threw for 50 yds.

to be able to run the ball against BSU. They give up 120 rushing yds per game and with Williams back BYU should be able to top that number.

Even with the "bad" defense BYU has played this year, they are giving up 387 yds total offense per game, which from what I see on the NCAA site ranks 60th . BSU gives up 365 yds per game which ranks 45th, not a big difference. On the offensive side, BYU avgs 452 yds per game and BSU 485 per game, again not a big difference.

We have said BYU has been turnover prone, but BSU has turned it over 1 time more than BYU

I will still stay with my blue colored glasses and say BYU wins in a close game.

...to smash BSU.

I think this is the game where BYU decides whether they have a backbone or if they are just going to mail it in this year.
