better front line (in the games I saw). But Utah’s mids really struggled and their back line is just okay.
I think BYU has the advantage in the middle of the field. But they will need to step up their aggression level.
Utah looked a bit slow against USU, which is what BYU’s back line struggles with a bit. I don’t think they’ll get behind the back line much. So I think the defense will be okay. Utah does connect well with their forwards in the final third but they don’t connect well through the middle.
USU high pressed Utah and it was very effective. If BYU can pressure the ball and mostly control possession, I think they win. Utah doesn’t seem to be a very good counter attack team.
I think BYU gets this one at home.
