say that if Iowa State were playing at Oklahoma State this weekend, the line could be very similar. Just as OSU revealed some weaknesses in BYU's run defense, so to did UCF reveal or exploit some vulnerabilities of ISU's run D.
People also know Gundy has a track record for mid season turn arounds and righting the ship. People know it's hard to go undefeated and will size up factors that make a team ripe for a big upset in their eyes.
That said, if BYU wins this weekend and beats the line/spread, proving doubters or bettors wrong again...most of us will be no less and no more excited about the win than if BYU was a heavy favorite going in.
As of now, any win is an amazing win if it keeps BYU undefeated because of what it means for BYU's record and hunt for a berth in the CCG and ultimately a spot in the CFP.
Besides all that, it is more fun to win as an underdog anyway, so I'll take the line against BYU.
Go Cougs!
