Well Teddy we struggled in Florida and we struggled last year in Waco. I’m not saying 5 points worth. I always look at weather when I place a bet. You don’t think 100 degrees and high humidity will have an effect on the game?

He said on his show last week before the USU game that he was ready to go. No different this week. Until he runs on the field that first series I’m not believing him.

After the first three games it’s hard to tell who’s in the game. New numbers and names. Hiding injuries is out of hand and needs to be addressed. Season ticket holders pay a lot o…[Read more]

That has been my concern also. We are used to dry heat not both.

I’m sure Singer might have some input for Myles. Can’t blame a young athlete for going all in for a chance at stardom. Give USC a shot and if it doesn’t work out transfer to Utah. 5* have their eyes on the NFL. College is just the next step. Vele is playing for the Broncos with low receiving stats. Myles has the tools but does he have work ethic…[Read more]

Thanks for the clarification. Either way sounds like he might be slightly limited. I’ll take Cam at 90%.

Thanks for the info GreatfulPoke. It would be nice to see both teams at full strength.

The heat and humidity factor could be moving the line.

I think the line is moving because of the heat and humidity factor. The cowboys are more acclimated to play in harsh conditions. Baylor game was similar last year. Cam should be ready to go. Is two weeks enough time for stitches in a middle finger to heal? Any doctors in the house that can answer?

Down two starters is a big deal. It takes time for an o line to gel. Take advantage and pressure them early to make mistakes.

QB play is so crucial on the road. Easy for a young qb to get rattled early and make mistakes. We have seen that over and over with young QBs at home. Rising has the experience to calm the early storm and keep the crowd out of the game.

The intensity level will be much higher for both teams.

Utah rates higher because viewers want to watch Utah play reguardless of fan base. BYU is lower because nobody outside their fan base and church affiliation want to see them play. Point is their viewership is still an advantage with church affiliation.

Nice post DB. Very well stated. Of the 17 million members worldwide they still have a number of viewers to bolster their tv audience especially if they are playing on the road against a team that has a large LDS population in that city. Tv viewing is still an advantage even if those team by church affiliation only watch a couple games a year.

Gundy is more social and shares more opinions and emotions. Whitt is all business and keeps everything internal. Both great coaches different styles.

Face it if BYU wasn’t a church owned school and depended on Provo and surrounding area for support they would still be independent or in the mountain west.

Yes they have their hard core base of students and locals but the fact the LDS religion is world wide gives them a much larger fan base.

BYU football has had no respect nationally since t…[Read more]

Didn’t he play last game? I remember a pass being thrown to him.

The humidity can be a bigger factor. I’ve never been to Stillwater. Is the humidity there high? The Baylor game was similar heat minus the humidity. Depth will play a big role.

I’ll answer that for you Dallas. Game time decision. He’s the alpha dog and we’re obviously a better team when he’s in the game. Next question. I don’t think they ask the question because they know the answer.
