Re: 10/02 Tech @ BYU (8 PM) - Game
Tech is not getting any respect from the BYU fans here in Utah. They believe all their team needs to do is show up.

To add insult to injury, the Knuckledragger Ute fans are calling Tech a high school team. (These people are the West's version of lsu fans.)

Honestly, I do not know how good Tech is. But at the same time, I do not how good BYU really is. I do know this, though, BYU has one big liability: coaching. They have gone two straight games in which they have not been outcoached, which is about the limit for them. Sitake and his staff are due to lay an egg.

BYU has yet to play a team that can run and pass. Navy is a running team (and did not hold contact practices prior to the BYU game). They were not ready to play. Troy is a pass first team coming off a sub-500 Sun Belt Conference record in 2019. The thinking in Utah is that because the Mustard Buzzards and HBU put up a lot of points our defense is horrendous. That could be true, but I will lean the other way because USM's issues are not its offense. Anyone paying attention to HBU knows that they will move the ball on almost anybody in the country; they just can't stop anyone.

Tech is team with a lot of upside and will only get better as the year progresses.

I married into a family of BYU fans and have been following the Cougars closely since I moved to Utah in 2013. When they get overconfident, they usually stumble.

Go Dawgs!
