• I think both QB's are very good. Huntley can be very explosive and accurate- when healthy. He's a senior QB, who has spent the last nine getting healthy, and added 20 lbs of muscle to make him less prone to injury. Wilson is incredibly talented, is very competitive, and has killer instincts. That being said, even IF Wilson is marginally better, Huntley has more weapons- Zach Moss, Jordan Wilmore, DHC, TJ Green at RB, and 4-6 solid and reliable WR's- Jaylon Dixon, Solomon Enis, Demari Simpkins, Samson Nacua, Bryan Thompson, Derrick Vickers, and maybe Britain Covey.

• Utah's D is elite. The D-line is full of NFL guys. The secondary is awesome. (Jaylen Johnson will have a great season.) Blackmon and Guidry are also great. There's a question mark at LB, but Bernard and Lloyd both have experience, and will do well as the starters, and I have heard that there are at least 3, maybe 4 guys who have shown a lot of promise. (Luckily for Utah, the LB's are playing behind an elite D-line, and an awesome secondary.)

• The "Whit Factor"- he just seems to own BYU.

I just think THIS Utah team is probably too much for BYU to break the streak.

BUT, I will admit that there's a different feeling this year. A lot of it is the fact that the game is Week 1- and so we've all been looking at this game for 9 months. Also, there seems to be an intensity and determination (among the team, and fans) to beat Utah this year.

Do I believe Utah will win? Yes.

Do I think Utah could win by more than 8? Yeah.

Do I think BYU could win? Absolutely.

It's all going to come down to which team comes out and executes better. I expect both teams to play well- maybe a LITTLE rusty. I would guess it will be a close game. IF Utah is as good as the hype suggests- Utah COULD win by more than the typical 1-score margin. (Not a 54-10 margin, more like a 34-17 margin.) If it's close, at the end- Wilson could propel BYU to a win. But I would be VERY surprised if BYU won in a blowout.
