Idaho State
At this point, the Cougars will be limping towards their BYE week. There won’t be a team in the entire country that has to go through essentially seven P5 teams before they get a week off. While Idaho State won’t be an issue for the Cougars, they will make things interesting for the first quarter before BYU pulls away and wins by a large, but not massive margin.
Prediction BYU 38 Idaho State 17
Record: 8-2
Ranking Range: 18 – 22
BYE Week
The BYE week will be a week of full recovery. While many teams use it to make major adjustments and train even harder, the Cougars will implement a plan to stop the triple offense of Georgia Southern. With only two games remaining on the schedule, the Cougars will also start to look ahead towards USC a bit, and it will end up paying off for them.
