Brigham Young overcame a lot this season. Taysom Hill was lost for the season, forcing Tanner Mangum into the starting role, where he's been a nice surprise. He has thrown 21 touchdowns and 7 picks with over 3000 yards, Mangum leads this offense and has been a real gamer, fighting with a lot of grit for his team.

Mangum works with a nice cast of receivers who provide matchup concerns with almost every defense they face, led by excellent Mitch Mathews, Devon Blackmon, Nick Kurtz, Terenn Houk, and Mitchell Juergens. Houk is 6'5," while Mathews and Kurtz are 6'6." They are very tough because of their size and strength. The run game is now led by Algernon Brown,and they average 34.2 points per game.

The BYU defense is pretty good too as they are a balanced group that gives up an average of just 21.8 points per game and forces turnovers.

Bronson Kaufasi is a difference-maker with 11 sacks, as he applies a ton of pressure.

Utah will have to fend off a potential letdown spot here in this game. This is far from what they were envisioning. And their offense just couldn't hold up. They will be without Devontae Booker, who had 1261 yards on the ground through 10 games before going down for the season. And the pass-game is stripped dry with injuries to Kenneth Scott (questionable) and Britain Covey (doubtful). I like BYU to send off their coach a BIG WINNER as he's been great for the BYU program and school.

PLAY BYU!
