Byu lost to Utah, UClA, West Virginia, and Boise state by a combined total of 8 points. They played a far tougher schedule than we did. My fear is that they dominate us at the line of scrimmage. Having said that, I did bet us - but frankly- it was a bet made more with my heart than my head. Also, I think there is a hunger factor with bowl games. Sometimes, it's apparent that some teams play like they wish they weren't there. I'm hoping our players are excited to be in a nationally televised game against a well known team.
My general rule of thumb regarding who to bet is this: What are the most likely outcomes? I could see us losing a close game, winning a close game, or getting blown out. I can't see us blowing them out. No one beat them by more than 3 points all year. Based on that, I would generally take BYU. But I think we have 2 players, Hill and Allen, who just might will us to a win.
