My Captain Obvious analysis for what needs to happen tmrw night
1. BYU must win the turnover battle. The BYU D needs to create turnovers. It's not just that Avery Johnson is exceptional running the football, but their 2 running backs are excellent. They also have really good tight ends. Somehow, someway BYU needs to create enough havoc defensively.

2. BYU has to capitalize those turnovers into points.

3. Without LJ we're one dimensional offensively. We need the "Good Jake", not the "Bad Jake" to have his best game yet. To me it feels like every time the ball is snapped to him I get nervous what will happen either good or catastrophic. Wide receivers MUST get separation against a very good KState defense.

4. In a game against a really good defense like KState field position is more important than ever. Yes, Keelan Marion broke the BYU TD return drought. Great. Still, I'm concerned that a lot of our drives start inside our own 20. We need better field position to start drives and win the field position battle.

If these things happen tomorrow BYU's chances of an upset are very real. Honestly I see this game going 1 of 2 ways: 1. The game is a intense all night. Both teams miss on opportunities while capitalizing on some making it tight going into the 4th quarter. BYU wins a nailbiter, possibly in overtime. or 2. While BYU has their moments, KState really controls the majority of the game as the offense struggles to get into the end zone and or contain KState's rushing attack and we lose by 2-3 scores.
