BSU linebacker unit as a whole is their best group. They really cover for the small d-line. I don't think the small d-line made a tackle till the 3rd quarter against CSU. The dbs are not as dynamic as last year, but they have not given up as many big plays. The linebacker unit has been dinged up the last few games.

The offence has trouble scoring when it faces defenses with a pulse. I think your rugged front 7 is going to cause major problems.

Game is going to come down to a couple things. BSU ability to slow down Williams and Rypiens ability to deal with presure. If Rypien can consistently get the ball down the field to Sperbeck or Wilson (see OSU game)it will be a close game. If not it Byu going away.
