Score Prediction

Utah State does not run the same slow paced rushing attack style of offense that USF ran last week. In other words, BYU should get the ball more than seven times in the game. With more possessions, the Cougars will put a lot of points on the board scoring on 70% of their drives.

Utah State will also have a lot of success moving the ball against BYU’s soft coverage, however like they have all year, they will struggle to put points inside of the redzone. There will be two times that the Aggies get into the red zone and leave with zero points.

This game won’t be as close as the first three games of the season and the Cougars will run away with the game in the third quarter as momentum swings continue in BYU’s favor with turnover on downs and interceptions.

Final Score: BYU 45 Utah State 24
