Not really sure why, but this game concerns me. Probably because this is the type of game that, in the past, we have messed up. Every damn time we have a game that we “should” win, we struggle. Look at our 3 losses this year.
Anyway, I’m really hoping we come out just like we did against Furd.
This one has be concerned too, for the exact same reasons. Yet, as others have posted the captains seem to keep the team focused. Hopefully the coaching staff is as well.
I think AZ is better than their record indicates, and that the game will likely be closer than we’d like. That said, the only way we lose is if we completely implode with turnovers.
I’m thinking close through three (with all the kvetching that entails) and we pull away in the 4th. Win something like 28-13.
This is one part of the P5 upgrade that I think BYU fans are underestimating. In a conference, you don’t get to have a three week stretch mid-season where you play Idaho State, Georgia Southern, and BYE.
AZ is the worst team on Utah’s schedule this year, and they played BYU to a 1-score game. The grind is real.
