...and it will be their first game at home with a new, offensive minded coach paired with a dynamic athlete (& early season Heisman candidate) at QB.

We are 14 point underdogs to Arizona

I would put it at more like a tossup, so maybe 3 pts for home field to AZ.

A tossup? Playing in Tucson in September against Khalil Tate?

He's not invincible. They did lose 4 of their last 5

BYU has more talent on the lines.

Blue Cat

you think BYU has a talent disadvantage on D?

Lip Gallagher

Those were all good P5 teams, not ECU, Utah St, or UMASS. I think 14 a little

That was 5 minutes of him running, but only 30 seconds of him passing the ball

You quite literally have not.

Lip Gallagher

Exactly. This guy could punish us.

IronPotato

5/21/18 11:07pm

Did you see our team play last year, and who UA is returning as QB?

Turnpike Lane

5/21/18 5:23pm

Fortunately, last year's teams aren't playing though.

The way I see it

Are you going to become the HC?

Kingfisher

5/21/18 10:19pm

True but have much to prove this year. Until then the stigma is there for setting lines.

Turnpike Lane

5/21/18 7:20pm

Seems generous to me.

Dangerous

5/21/18 5:28pm

I'm encouraged that we're still considered a 14 point underdog after last year.

lots of money on Arizona for me until i see/hear something different in Provo

I’d put money on AZ covering

Still early, but I could see this being a close game. D will play conservative

We were a very very bad team last year. They have one of the best players in the

I think AZ wins by 21. BYU has never been able to deal with a mobile QB.

Sumlin is a decent, but not great coach. The bad thing for BYU is he's a great

Sounds right to me, our program is a mess right now.

How do you know?

Lip Gallagher

5/21/18 7:43pm

How do you not, lip?

Mathew

5/21/18 9:50pm

He doesn't know anything. except for the height and weight of a few recruits

BlueFrog

5/21/18 9:57pm

I don't. But you can't prove that we are... That's a present tense word.

Lip Gallagher

5/21/18 10:22pm

Our most recent results sucked.

CommodoreCoug

5/22/18 6:37am

Last year's scores are the best indicator of the future? No.

Lip Gallagher

5/22/18 9:50am

We suck until we've proven otherwise. Simple as that.

CommodoreCoug

5/22/18 11:10am

lol ok. That makes no sense after one season

Lip Gallagher

5/22/18 11:19am

I'm just going off our record, how many recruits left us, no clear QB, etc...

Based on recent performances, it's safe to call it a mess until it proves to be

I think we cover 14, but not by much.

If I were a betting man, I'd bet BYU to beat the spread every game this year

You are fortunate not to be a betting man.

Just 14? Right now I’m taking AZ on that

I'm expecting our O Line to be better this year and to see more ball control
