Utah vs BYU Predictions

These games are often close games, which would not fit your prediction (which is approved).

Here’s my prediction you won’t post this on Clownboard, where most of your posts that mention Utah are just more of the same herd speak garbage.

It’s a rivalry game, and BYU will feel like they have something to prove. BYU will come out motivated and give everything they can. I expect a close game in the first half, and Utah will eventually wear them down.

Since I have not seen either team play, it is impossible for me to make any kind of realistic score prediction. I would like Utah to win by 30, but I would not be surprised with a win of 10 or less points. This game has been very close over the last 30 years, outside a few exceptions.

BYU comes out fired up and takes an early 7-0 lead. But Utah leads 13-10 at the half.

Then Utah makes a few adjustments and pulls away to win 33-13.

Whittingham won’t run up the score on Sitake. Plus, historically, once he has a comfortable 4th-Qtr lead, he stops playing the game, and starts playing the clock. He’d rather have time consuming 1st-Downs than TDs.

Seems hilariously premature to predict this at all.
Sitake has to win to keep his job. Utah could certainly play to not lose as they have done many many many times for the past 24ish years.

Whatever happens, RES is going to be wild. Still can’t believe BYU has never played against Cam. It’ll be a great game.

I think Utah will destroy BYU, even if Whitt doesn’t try to run up the score. Utah takes a 28-7 halftime lead and then finishes it out 42-14, maybe 42-21 if they score a garbage time TD.

TDS games always scare me. It’s BYU’s Super Bowl every year and they usually manage to keep the games closer than they should be. I’ll be happy with a W, even if it’s close. Though definitely hoping for a blowout!

Whit has this one circled on the calendar. He’s gonna remind byu and Sitake just where they sit in the pecking order.

He’s had to listen to byu talk about winning in Provo and ending the streak for three years.

He puts the hammer down from the opening kick and doesn’t let off until the final gun. Starters play deep into the forth qtr.

55-13
BYU doesn’t have the horses on either side of the ball to hang with Utah.

That’s a fair assessment but since I’m used to byu getting close, I’d predict they get within one score somewhere in the 4th quarter. We win, but not by enough to shut coogs up, and we have to continue to listen to them spin reality about how close our two programs are and how there really isn’t even a gap between us at all. Insufferable.

Since this game is later in the season, and not at the start, I think the main determining factor is going to be who is handling the game of attrition better. At this point that is going to go heavily in the Utes favor (unless Rising gets injured somewhere along the way). Utah currently has superior depth, and it will probably take BYU several more years to get up to the level they need to be for late season game performance.

I’d go somewhere in the range of 2 to 3 score advantage. Think anywhere from 28-17 to 31-10. BYU seems to come into these games going absolutely ballistic after any tackle or gain in the first quarter, but momentum usually swings back into Utahs favor when mistakes are made. Whitt seems to have a very nonchalant “get in, win, and leave” attitude with respect to the TDS
