Mr. Scoobs All-American

Our 3 FBS wins were also essentially FCS-caliber = Hawaii (117), San Jose St. (179), NMSU (166).

I don't think it's necessarily accurate to assume we have any sort of "home-field" advantage. It certainly hasn't been the case the last couple years.

He says NIU’s defense will give Utah a better test. He doesn’t say the game will be tougher.

That's what i'm questioning. Is there defense really going to be tougher?

Yes, but the defenses are different this year. And utah gets their defense

I forget, how many points did NIU score against the Utes last season at home?

Irrelevant to my point. BYU hasn’t put up a good season in 10 years
