Listening to the BYU pregame, Hans Olsen gave his 3 keys to the game. All of them had to do with BYU's defense - and he made the remark that they intentionally had to do with the defense because it would be up to the defense for BYU to win.

His final comment on the keys to the game was that he thought BYU would need to hold ASU under 22 points to win.

I found it funny that he was right on the mark - BYU scores 23 points, and if they'd held ASU to 22 or fewer, they win the game.

Nice prediction, Hans.




(Note for the detail oriented - yes, I know that "under 22" technically means 21 points or fewer. You can't say "under 22" and then count 22, because 22 isn't under itself. But I don't care - the story is better if we accept that Hans hit the number right on.)
