Well, I whiffed on all my predictions except the win. I'll take it.

pleasantly surprised with the outcome.

This had WAC football written all over it.

I hope we hold them to under 100.

Well, if BYU's defense gives up 70 points in the second half, which isn't out of the question after giving up a 35 point second quarter with no offensive turnovers.

I'm not sure what to think about this game, here is a simple run down of Virginia's schedule:
5-2 William & Mary, score 43-0, total yards 545 vs 183
3-5 Illinois, score 42-14, total yards 556 vs 337
4-3 @North Carolina, score 39-59, total yards 577 vs 699
7-0 Wake Forest, score 17-37, total yards 506 vs 473
3-4 @Miami, score 30-28, total yards 449 vs 372
4-3 @Louisville, score 34-33, total yards 522 vs 503
3-4 Duke, score 48-0, total yards 528 vs 325 (Duke had 4 turnovers)
3-4 Georgia Tech, score 48-40, total yards 636 vs 570

They have played 3 away games going 2-1, but the 2 wins have been by a total of 3 points. Provo Utah will be much different than Miami, Louisville, and Chapel Hill. Also the game will played after 10pm EST at a high elevation in fairly cold weather. Which all seem to favor BYU, Armstrong has been putting up huge numbers through the air and is often the teams leading rusher.

The key will be if we can get some turnovers. We will run the ball alot to milk the clock, keep the score down and hopefully wear their D out.

If the D can keep Virgina at 35 points or less, I think we have a chance. I think our offense will do fine, but maybe not 35+ points good. I agree we are not able to win a high scoring shootout. Overall I see this as a oss up game. This Virginia offense will likely have a field day. Maybe our offense can keep up.

I agree with you that we need to score in the 30's to win this game. BYU's highest scoring against a P5 opponent this year is 27 points so scoring 35+ is highly unlikely this week. I think our defense has to hold Virginia to under 30 points to have even a chance to win this game so go off of that probability to guess who will win. I think our offense can score 35 points but I don't think our defense can hold this virginia offense under 35 points. I look at this as a loss. My guess is we will probably end up with a score similar to the Baylor game. I hate to say it. I hate watching them lose.

I expect UVA to pass at will and score at will. If they don't score in the 40s I'll be shocked. I just hope we can score a few more than them.

This is what I'm afraid of. Unfortunately, if it comes to a shootout, I don't think BYU can win that game.
