Who you got?
Utah has athletic receivers plus athletic corners and safeties. BYU has neither. This could get ugly for BYU.
When hasn't Utah had more athletic receivers, corners, and safeties?
When has BYU had more athletic players at these positions?
I guarantee you Salty is going to come in here, act all arrogant, and predict a Ute blowout by 2-3 touchdowns. He'll bring up the Utah St. game and talk about how Utah is clearly better than BYU because Pitt (terrible team) and Iowa St (not even bowl eligible) were "far" tougher teams than anyone BYU has played. He'll blame the Notre Dame loss (as he already did) on the TCU hangover and how the Utes didn't care about their season after the TCU loss and how everything is going to be different in the PAC-12.
This is going to be great.
I think the game will be decided by less than 10 points, with Utah coming out ahead.
The real key will be for BYU to get the turnovers that Wynn will undoubtedly provide. Will the BYU receivers make plays? Will Heaps maintain his composure? Will the offensive line control the line of scrimmage? If BYU is able to capitalize on Wynn's mistakes, BYU will win. I don't think Utah's offense is capable of blowing the door off BYU's new and improved defense as so many Ute homers were saying a few weeks ago. However, I don't think BYU has the offense to beat Utah's (overrated) defense.
24-17 Utah wins
