vs UConn - not saying I'm going to be right but, like that game, this is the sense I get with this one)
BYU and fans will go into the game feeling very confident in a win. After all, Texas is hurting, big time. But, remember, their backups are still 4* recruits, where our starters are 2 and 3* recruits. Remember, Tyrone Swoops was recruited and offered a scholarship by EVERY big program in the nation, including Alabama. Both of their running backs weren't only top recruits, they were THE top recruit in the nation the year they were recruited. Think about that for a minute.
And, in the end, Texas is OUT...FOR....REVENGE. In fact, this game DEFINES their season.
This will be a REALLY difficult game for BYU to win. REALLY difficult.
At this point, I give Texas a 60% chance to win. Does that mean I think BYU can't win? Absolutely not. I think a team with good cohesion and execution is more powerful than strictly talent. We have a really good chance to pull it out. But, DON'T underestimate the difficulty of this game.
