ECU fan perspective (Some questions & analysis): (1) Will BYU be on its A game?

B Easy

I think most knowledgeable BYU fans have looked at this game as a challenge

Definitely a state I wouldn't mind retiring in

I am eager for the game. ECU seems like a great challenge.

If this BYU team didn't learn from last year then ECU easily wins.

Boise St 88th? I don't think that's right. They've been scoring a ton of points.

I've watched most of their games and bits of 3 of ECU's. BSU's O is better
