Next up...BYU vs. Wyoming


Next up? Wyoming. BYU looks to continue their perfect season with Wyoming coming into town. Wyoming has started this year off with a couple of wins and one loss. My guess is Wyoming's 3-1 record would make people believe they are better than they really are. Their two wins this season have been over soft teams (Ohio and North Dakota State). Both wins were close wins. Their loss came from Air Force who beat them easily 23-3.

So what can we expect from Saturday's match up? Yet, another blow out. I don't see the Cowboys being able to stop BYU's high powered offense. Wyoming's' only hope is to slow the game down as much as possible to keep the score as low as possible. So, you can expect Wyoming to run the ball frequently trying to eat up as much time as possilbe. They do have a couple of hard hitting running backs. Wynel Seldon and Devin Moore are two senior running backs with some experience under their belts. They could be great running backs if they had an offensive line that could block well enough. Wyomings' offensive line struggles which will give BYU's defense a chance to get to the quarterback.

I highly expect BYU to keep doing what they do. This isn't going to be a close game. I don't expect it to be the thrashing that BYU laid on UCLA last week but they should win easily. Let's just say that I hope the back up's are ready to play again because they should see at least a quarter's worth of play. My prediction?
BYU: 52
Wyoming: 13
