True, but it's still an official road game (not neutral like a phoenix game for Arizona)

Fox: BYU on upset alert, "facing disaster" tomorrow against good Toledo team

Gustav

This is my fear.

TheLoneCougar

9/29/16 8:05am

The team knows how good toledo is. Im more confident of them walking into our

monkeycowboy

9/29/16 8:08am

I agree. We're due

icecougar

9/29/16 2:49pm

I seriously doubt a team that is 1-3 is overlooking anyone

Littlerich

9/29/16 8:20am

How is it an upset when a 3-0 team beats a 1-3 team?

Backcountry

9/29/16 8:23am

You're favored.

displacedute

9/29/16 8:24am

....by whom? People who bet on games? While an indicator, that's certainly

ByuMba90

9/29/16 8:28am

Yes.

displacedute

9/29/16 8:29am

It might be imprecise, but it's the best indicator of expectations that is

Random Walk

9/29/16 8:31am

I guess in the absence of either bookies or computer programs, all that would

ByuMba90

9/29/16 8:51am

Exactly...and we know how valuable message board opinions are...

Random Walk

9/29/16 8:55am

Umm...people willing to put their money where their mouth is? What's a better

Machiavelli

Are these some of the same people that go into a $5Bil casino expecting to come

The odds are set by the professionals hired by Vegas to encourage betting

archie

9/29/16 9:57am

No it's actually not. Spreads are set by oddsmakers. They are professionals

Machiavelli

9/29/16 9:58am

It's much more sophisticated than that...

Random Walk

9/29/16 9:58am

Not at all. Don't confuse gamblers with slot machine grammas and grandpas.

Finngirl

9/29/16 10:43am

Vegas is as qualified to say as anyone. Their livelihood depends on it.

unctoothman

9/29/16 12:37pm

Because the worst team BYU has played is better than the best team Toledo has

Scratch

9/29/16 8:53am

The worst team we've played is also better than Toledo

archie

9/29/16 9:36am

I'm not sure I'd bet on Arizona if they were favored against Toledo.

displacedute

9/29/16 10:09am

The article is wrong.

Random Walk

9/29/16 8:26am

True, but it's still an official road game (not neutral like a phoenix game for Arizona)

LiveCoug

9/29/16 8:32am

It's still not the same as playing at home.

Random Walk

9/29/16 8:34am

They used to play 2-3 games a year in Little Rock. No so much anymore.

LiveCoug

9/29/16 8:35am

Yeah, Bielema and Long haven't renewed the contract...

Random Walk

9/29/16 8:39am

Location is wrong, but a MAC team beating an SEC is always a big deal.

JKLCoug

9/29/16 9:19am

I'm not gonna lie, I'm really worried about this game.

Harrison0Yfan

9/29/16 8:36am

I appreciate your honesty

JackStack

9/29/16 8:48am

I quest for the truth

Harrison0Yfan

9/29/16 8:54am

Me too. We're coming off a brutal schedule and they're coming off a bye.

Bgash

9/29/16 10:19am

I'll lie, I'm really worried about this game...

If you listened to the Toledo coach interviewed on SN today,

Machiavelli

classic trap game but less so due to us being 1-3. If we were 3-1, big time trap

fulano

9/29/16 8:41am

Toledo is a good team but traveling clear across from the east coast

CougarsFanSince80s

9/29/16 8:59am

Huh. I always thought Toledo was in Ohio. The more you know...

John Doe

9/29/16 10:56am

If we lose this game, I don't see us getting bowl eligible.

BearsandBulls

9/29/16 9:01am

If we lose tomorrow, we've reached official dumpster fire status

Ulysses14

9/29/16 9:05am

Don't overestimate - this Toledo team is legit

Almaden Cougar

9/29/16 3:50pm

1-4 is a dumpster fire. If not, then our standards are too low

Ulysses14

9/29/16 8:23pm

I agree.

displacedute

9/29/16 10:12am

Toledo having to travel should be a big advantage for us.

Agaricus

9/29/16 9:03am

The game also starts at 10:15pm ET. So they will all be ready for a nap at half time.

Turnpike Lane

I agree with whoever wrote that.

Laughable blowout 45-18 Cougars Win Big

BYUvermont

9/29/16 10:36am

CFN feels the same way.

displacedute

9/29/16 10:43am

The good news is our coaches are not overlooking Toledo. And their comments aren't just coach speak. Ed Lamb broke down

Bgash

9/29/16 10:51am

Toledo didn't win in Fayettville... They won in Little Rock. Just

Uoftoledofans

9/29/16 11:07am

Honestly, as an Arkansas alumni, there isn't much difference between the two in terms of home-field advantage.

Sir Hammer

9/29/16 11:39am

3.5 hour travel, hotel stay, in a stadium/lockerroom you have never been in...

Uoftoledofans

9/29/16 12:42pm

You've been to how many games in Little Rock? It is a home game. Arkansas just isn't good at football.

Sir Hammer

9/29/16 3:35pm

I've been to one. It was loud. Not a Toledo home game. But for the players

Uoftoledofans

9/29/16 4:06pm

This will be the toughest game they play all year...

icecougar

9/29/16 2:47pm

I predict either high scoring game or we get blown out tomorrow

Bobmarleyjr

9/29/16 3:35pm

Toledo doesn't have 2 nfl WR's on their team like WVU does.

Rooney

9/29/16 6:58pm

Wrong

Uoftoledofans

9/29/16 8:15pm

Wrong? Are tight ends WR's?

Rooney

9/30/16 12:00am

After three weeks Roberts led the country in receiving TD's with 5.

Uoftoledofans

9/30/16 9:33am

Wilcox was playing for Troy Warner. He was the only one getting burned

Bobmarleyjr

9/29/16 10:15pm

Dude he's like 4th string...he's not great. He got burned a couple times.

Rooney

9/30/16 12:01am

He seemed to get most reps after Troy Warner left. I think he's 2nd behind Troy

Bobmarleyjr

9/30/16 2:49pm

You absolutely called it mr. Marley. #32 is hurting us

Rooney

9/30/16 10:43pm

Unfortunately it took Lamb too long to see his recruit should be at SUU
