There's several things going against BYU in this game
1. Ranked #14, Big Noon Kickoff on campus...the hype is here. This is a classic precursor to a major letdown.

2. Look what the first true pocket passer we've faced did to us last week. Arizona's QB is going to be a better passer than Baylor's. The passing defense is going to have to step up because they got picked apart last week.

3. Our lack of run game has been exposed. The biggest difference between the first half and second half @ Baylor??? The run game. We were averaging 5 yards per carry in the first half and our RBs ended the game averaging under 3. Hopefully getting LJ back is the answer.

4. Offensive Line injuries, specifically Connor Pay. This is particularly worrisome for the run game.

Does this mean we're going to lose? Absolutely not. But I can see plenty of reasons why we COULD lose this game. We have potential answers to every single one of these issues I've pointed out... it'll come down to how they execute.
