This one is a big barometer for the season. I like that it is on ESPN2 and then Kansas and Cincy are ESPN.

Cougars have a big opportunity here in week 3. If we upset Arkansas it shows we have a program on the rise. Keeping it close and interesting into the 4th I do think is possible. I am really hoping the O-line can block for the run and we can have choices on how to attack on offense. Offense HAS to make some big plays.

Defense needs to force a turnover or have a big special teams play to silence a packed crowd. I would be thrilled to hear a B-Y-U chant while our defense finds a way to stop Jefferson. It would be a statement for the program to make this one be like the turnaround we saw with Wisconsin, i.e., they dismantle us at home, then the next year we pull off the upset. Kalani and team have the ability to do it here, but this one feels like we need a near perfect game.

Let's see Kedon light up 20-30 yard pass with some play action. Let's see a run game pound an SEC d-line and find a way to win in the trenches. Let's see receivers get some serious yards after carry and lay the boom on run block.

I think we have a shot, and I never bet against the Cougs. I'm going with the upset here BYU 24 Arkansas 21. We gotta be +2 in the turnover margin and play all out to make it even close. Arkansas is really good.

I feel about this game like I did Baylor last year. I think BYU wins this game and then loses to Kansas. It will be close like last years baylor game so I say 24-17

Our players look slow out there. I've never really believed in the idea of SEC speed, but the way our players are running, it's confirming whatever bias there may be to the idea.

BYU wins it! And they looked good while doing it, in spite of the first two scores. :)

Huge game and bigger win by the Cougars. I won't lie, I was counting them out after the first 4 minutes. But then that come back was amazing.

This may be one of their biggest upsets. Arkansas is always tough. Beating them at home is amazing.
