The rivalry has a way of getting both of these teams to play above their season totals. On paper BYU is the overall better team. I also haven't seen anything from Isaac Wilson or Brandon Rose that suggests they are capable in a game like this of moving their offense up and down the field on BYU. However, these games aren't played on paper, and I'm reminded of a young Zach Wilson that moved the ball very well against Utah in 2018 to have a 20-0 lead.
Nu.ber one priority, match their intensity and physicality in the first quarter, stop the run, then put this game away by the start of the 4th quarter.
