The truth is usually in the middle. I don't think BYU's OL will be what they're hyped to be and I don't think Utah's will be a disaster. They are similar than people think, but logic doesn't sit well in the rivalry (both sides). 

I'd love for Empey to get a shot and he could. I think there's he left Utah for us factor which has hyped him a little. I honestly think this OL debate has been fueled because we as fans are comparing this OL to year past, which is inflating their value and we as fans are comparing Utah's to years past. Utah's has come down. Byu's has come up. To say one is superior is silly. Just look at the stats and returning starts. Lastly, back to Empey IMO, he faces an uphill battle due to his position. C is the least drafted position on the OL. The NFL likes to take other OL groups and slide them at C. For that reason I'm not sold he'll be an NFL guy. I'd love to be wrong. I feel for him I'm sure he's happy at BYU, but to leave Utah only to have your dad fired has to be quite lame. 

*** If both schools have OLs in the upper 40s Utah will win at least 9 games and Byu will 8.
