BYU Football hopes to break their two game losing skid against Washington State.

Normally when making game predictions for BYU Football, it is relatively easy to gauge an opponent based off of their success to this point in the season. Washington State is an exception to this rule in more than one way.

The most obvious and clear reason why it is hard to predict how this team will play is because of the firing of head coach Rolovich and four other assistant coaches. One one hand it is easy to how the Wazzu Cougars could be out of touch and distracted, while on the other hand see a focused and locked in squad.

Which team will show up tomorrow? That is anyone’s guess.

Despite this game changing factor, I will do my best to give a preview and score prediction based off of what I believe will be taking place given the distraction and drama around the program.
