NOPE!!!
First of all, all of BYU's numbers last year come from playing teams that were less talented than BYU in a normal year. Now, give all the advantages BYU had, the numbers cannot be trusted at all. None of that will apply in this game. The biggest thing to look at here is who the position groups face.
QB: Utah - no question, Brewer has more yards than any QB returning (in all of college) this year. He's not returning from health issues, he's coming from a disaster of a team last year and a NY6 game the year before. There is nowhere near enough of a sample size from BYU to suggest they have the better QB, is your QB even healthy yet? How's your boy going to do against a real Dline? How many years with a pick six or two?
RB: BYU - See above, can't say that Utah's RBs are better with no experience but than again, who did your RBs face they face N. Bama and friends with one of the best Olines BYU had in how long?
WR: BYU - I say Even, is Puka healthy, can Sampson stay healthy? Romney never faced any corners like Utah has "two of the most promising young talents in the Pac-12" while Utah brings in two WRs (like Nacuas, facing health issues) along with Covey, Dixon, and Enis (did you see Enis's yards to Sampson's) but going against "inexperienced DL and Secondary, that could pose major problems for BYU."
TE: Utah - Yep! Who is defending Kuithe?
OL: Even - Utah and not close, "Utah looks to have one of the best Offensive Lines in the Pac-12" going against "DL is where BYU has taken a massive hit from last year after three starters graduated" while BYU returns 3 starters against "Defensive Line is always a strength for the Utes under Whittingham and 2021 will be no different. Mika Tafua is one of the best Defensive Linemen in the conference"
DL: Utah - Of course
LB: Even - not even at all, "Lloyd will be one of the top LB's in the nation", does BYU have one of these? Sewell was a beast, a TO machine, this goes to Utah. Did I forget to mention the Dline in front of them?
Secondary: Utah - "two of the most promising young talents in the Pac-12"
Special Teams: Utah - when was the last time it wasn't?
Coaching: Utah - Well duh!
Home Field: BYU - Probably the worst one, go look at history, Utah plays better and RES-South than at RES! 30 (and taking a knee)-12 or 54-10 mean anything here, heck, even 20-13 was a "big" win for this rivalry.
So, let's review:
QB: Utah
RB: BYU (maybe)
WR: Even (maybe)
TE: Utah
OL: Utah
DL: Utah
LB: Utah
Secondary: Utah
Special Teams: Utah
Coaching: Utah
Home Field: Utah

I'd give BYU the edge at QB. I just don't trust Kyle with a QB no matter how highly touted they are. Jack Tuttle anyone?

Even his greatest QB ever, Tyler Huntley, wasn't that spectacular by BYU QB standards, and his biggest claim to fame was

It has nothing to do with his W-L record it has to do with his prowess as a QB. There's a reason why despite being

Utah usually wins in the trenches, and especially with DL play. But I am not sure Utah has a great DL this year.
