I'd say 35% based on the fact we have as many if not more horses than USU. But, the game is in Provo and they have our number. I'd love nothing more than to send those chumps out with a loss to the Pokes.TheRealUW said:I'd say we have about a 5% chance of beating BYU. The game should be closer than they have been the past few years, but I highly doubt we come out on top. BYU just has too many athletes for us to compete with. We just don't have the horses yet.
Need I remind you that BYU has also had Air Force's number for awhile as well until this year?Pittsburgh Nellie said:I get it...BYU lost to USU, but that does not mean we all of a sudden have a "great" shot at beating BYU. USU is much improved, and many on here can flame me all you want, but they played Oklahoma closer than Texas did. I get it, BYU is down this year, but USU is improved.
With that said, do I think we can beat BYU? Yes. Do I honestly think we WILL. No. Just like we match up well with Air Force and play them tough each year, BYU has Wyoming's number. I don't care how "down" they are, the fact remains that over the past five games we have been creamed.

221 to 38? I haven't watched the Pokes SCORE against them since 2007! Until I see the trend even out, even slightly, I will be more optimistic. But right now, I have to remain cautiously optimistic, but realistic
Before that game, yes, yes they did.marcuswyo said:Didn't BYU have USU number?
BYU really seems to struggle against the option-run, which how USU and AFA both put up over 30 points on them. So, if the Pokes go back to that triple option we used against Air Force, I think we stand a good chance winning it.gopokes1399 said:BYU is for sure a winnable game... we have some things to get figured out... but we could win tht game...
They didnt look good against USU and AF and those are 2 schools who havent been able to figure them out just like us... so things look good
