utah st./byu (final friday game)

[OnWisconsin]

Last season:

BYU won this game 34-14 last season, but failed to cover the 29 point road favored spread as they allowed 14 unanswered points in the 4th quarter. BYU led 24-0 after the first quarter thanks to 3 Utah St. turnovers.

BYU was flagged for 123 penalty yards in the game and turned the ball over twice, an admittedly sloppy game for a top 10 team even though they won by 20 points.

Several personal foul calls were made against BYU as the Aggies, despite getting beat, continued to antagonize on the field while the fans in the stadium chanted "over-rated". Utah St. claimed they could have won the game. It was the first time BYU had played there since 2002.

The 4th quarter score by Utah St. ended what would have been a 3rd straight shutout by the BYU defense.

BYU was coming off a bye week in that game.

Utah St. is 1-47 all times vs ranked teams. BYU is 11-0 all time vs Utah St. when they are ranked.

Taking the points is probably the way to go here.
