It’s the eye test. CCU and BYU have been locking players in place for a few years. Now the coaches know their players really well. Allows 2 & 3 star teams to be able to compete with anyone on a good day.
In addition, I’ve always believed that a team with a decent OL and really good QB always give themselves a chance. Both teams have that, although I know the advantage goes to BYU.
I hope we blow them out but not holding my breath.
