It seemed that they struggled to get up for opponents last year and played down to the level of their competition a number of times (S Alabama, Miami OH, UMass, Samford, etc). They have talent and would be significantly more motivated to play a 6-1, top 15 BYU team than a 4-3 BYU team.
I believe BYU will be 5-2 and am dreaming of 6-1 which would make this a pretty tough game. The increased confidence from beating Utah/Boise/Wisconsin??? could also help give BYU the momentum to win regardless.
