If BYU lost by 4 that would be a good loss because I'm expecting them to lose by 17+
While I’m terrified of playing @USC in Week 4, I think it’s valid because Utah has A LOT to lose and has never won at the Coliseum. Like, ever.
That being said, I’m still not convinced USC is for real and that those kids are buying into playing for Clay Helton’s job. The Stanford win was impressive, but the problem with it being week 2 is that I don’t know if Stanford is very good.
I could see USC blowing them out, but with their talent, they should be capable of blowing almost anybody out. I could also see BYU taking this game deep into the 4th qtr and surprising a lot of people.
BYU just came off an SEC road win and their fans are now past the dreaded “What if we lose to Utah 9 straight times?” mentality. They’re gonna be all hopped up on Cougar Tails and caffeinated soda, screaming ‘Popcorn Popping on The Apricot Tree’ and still insisting that there’s a place in the NBA for Jimmer. All of this could just end up being too much for USC.
