Score Prediction

Earlier in the article it was noted how this game is nearly impossible to predict due to all of the action that is going on away from the field. On paper, these teams matchup really well for BYU. In recent weeks BYU has struggled in the run game and Washington State may be just the kind of team that Allgeier and Katoa need to find their rhythm again.

My guess is that Washington State is going to try to get out of their normal game plan and run the ball more than normal. Most of the time, when a team completely changes their game plan it hurts them, and when you throw in the fact that they don’t even have a head coach, it will come back to bite them.

BYU will stick with their game plan and have a great day in the passing game, leading to a win in a high scoring emotional game.

Score Prediction: BYU 38 Washington State 31
