WVU Preview 2016

[Cougarfan87]

Well, I picked BYU to win the game in the predictions game. I just don't ever have the heart to pick them to lose. 24-20. You heard it here first. And I think Taysom looks better this game by fixing some of his flaws, Ty simplifying the offense, and the other pieces of the offense doing better.

Hey guys, I know that Arizona's D was not highly rated. However, that was a first game for the season, and I therefore considered it an out-lier. I was just referring to the two games that we lost, against opponents with outstanding defenses, Utes and Bruins. Since BYU had similarly close games against those two tough defenses, then it is reasonable to deduce that BYU's offense rose to the challenge in those games. Similarly, it is reasonable to at least entertain the idea that BSU's DC had improved AZ's D beyond their expected level based on last year's performance.

Fair points, until you look at how SJSU and UNLV performed offensively against Utah and UCLA. If BYU rose to the challenge, it only did so at an SJSU-level, and not quite at a UNLV level......and that's not very good.

I have BYU winning 31-24. There is a lot of wishful hoping in my "prediction".

haha I love the "wishful hoping!"

[McY]

Hey now, nothing wrong with a little "wishful hoping" now and then to bolster our spirits! Go Cougs!

Sincerely,

I like wishful hoping! I'll join in on it at 31-24 in favor of the Cougars! ... not really, I think it'll be 24-21 in favor of BYU!

[Ygridiron4ever]

Put me in the wishful hoper column. BYU 37-21.

A group of 36 from our ward here in VA put in our order for tickets as soon as they were available. They arrived 3 weeks ago; 12 seats each on rows 8, 9, & 10 at the 40 yard line on the BYU side!

I'm pretty stoked to sit in seats that go for around $1,500 for a redskins game. Cant wait to see how many BYU fans show up.

[UCChris]

I'm saying 28-10 WVU...
