My head says 54-10 or there abouts because we should give them a beat down and it would make us look good.

My heart loves (and hates) close football games that keep me engaged until the end, so I’d also enjoy a solid 24-21 win on a fluke play that rips the heart out BYU fans once again. But now that I think about it more, just give a good old fashioned blow out.

I hate hearing about their moral victories after they lose to us (ie 1 score loss and would’ve won if not for the refs, “gifting” you a pick 6 or multiple TOs, some critical injury, etc etc etc). That more than anything is why I’d like to see us open a serious can of whoop ass on them for #10! At the very least, my expectation is a 2 score victory or better…go Utes!!!

Blow. Out.

I just put $100 on Utes -7.5 in Vegas, so a comfortable 14-21 point win would help. Baby needs a new pair of shoes. 

I’m hoping for something closer in line with 28-10.  A big defensive showing mixed with a few surprise players on offense would be an ideal start to the season IMO.

Haha… I love these predictions.  On paper, BYU is no longer in Utah’s league when it comes to talent.  I read a tweet or a Facebook post a couple of days ago and had to go investigate it myself because I couldn’t believe it.  Out of BYU’s 2022 commits so far (13) they have exactly TWO, count ’em, TWO offers from P5 schools.  That’s not two different signees with multiple offers, that’s two P5 offers among all 13 guys.  Now I’m sure they’ll have some excuse as to why their recruiting sucks, but whatever.  The thing is, the Utah game is their Super Bowl every year.  They come out totally jacked up.  Weird stuff happens and it keeps the score close.  It’s almost a given that Whitt is going to take his foot off the gas pedal at some point too.  He’s totally happy with running the ball down their throat in the second half in one long 17-minute drive.  I don’t know if it’s because BYU his alma mater, or maybe he doesn’t want to embarrass his golfing buddy, Kalani, or maybe he just doesn’t want to show the Pac 12 teams anything they can use to scheme against us.  Like I’ve said, I stay away from betting on this one.  SHOULD we win 54-10… YES.  But will we?  I wouldn’t bet on it.

Utah by 14. It would be 21 but they get a garbage time td. With 15 sacks.

We need to win big to bring their fan base back down to earth. It’s amazing how c**ky they got after beating a bunch of nobodies last year.

I would love a complete beatdown. I could watch that all day. The fact is even a bad tds team may beat a terrible Arizona team in week 1, this would be bigger than any win they got last year. Their fans will be all frothed up and irrational. A complete demoralizing thrashing would be fantastic.  

The cougs have some athletes at wide receiver and a fairly experienced Oline.  But during the streak they have averaged about 17.5 points a game against us and scored over 20 points about 30% of the time.  I don’t think they top their average score this year. 

On the other side, Utah’s 2019 offense only scored 23 (plus the pick 6 from the D) and that was one of Utah’s best offenses in recent memory.  And yes, I know we took a knee to end the game.  At the same time, BYU will be breaking in a brand new defense, including basically a new defensive line. So, if Brewer starts and is already comfortable with the new offense, I think we score 30+ again.  If Rising is the guy, I think we score a bit less. Call it 31-14 or 27-17. 

I hope they score 45 against AZ and get their Sun Belt hopes up again and then get shut out against the Utes. I want them to realize they don’t belong and it’ll take them 10 + years IF they get to a P5 conference before they’ll have a chance.

Any win would be good. I want to go 10 straight on them so badly that it makes me super nervous every time we play. I’m guessing we win 27-10. 

72-0, taking a knee to end the game. Complete annihilation.
