will be better than last year and they upgraded at RB, but Utah's D is really good. Utah held BYU to just 1 score in the 2nd half and won the battle in the trenches with both teams bringing back their lines. Utah's secondary will be improved in pass coverage but BYU's pass game should be better as well. I have a hard time seeing BYU getting to 20 points.

On the other side, BYU has major question marks about making plays in the backfield and I don't get the optimism about the secondary. Kaufusi, Takitaki, and Wilcox are big losses... I still think BYU has a solid D and they're well coached, but I don't see how they can expect to control the edge and win the coverage battles.

Overall, the signs point to Utah winning, but BYU plays hard, plays disciplined, and Utah will have to play well to win. If BYU plays really well and catches not clicking, they could take this game.
