While the Huskies have one of the nation's top offenses with 38.5 points per game, they could have their hands full with a BYU defense that's allowed an average of 21.3.The Huskies of Washington raised their offensive pro?le this season, to 514 yards per game and 38.5 points per game. But on grass ?elds, they scored 34, 31, 28, 24, and 31, all below their overall average. BYU is a home-?eld grass team, for whatever that's worth. The Cougars have played some top ranked opponents in Wisconsin, Notre Dame, and Virginia which all were losses but they played well enough to be in each of the games. BYU's notable wins were over the Texas Longhorns and the University of Houston Cougars.
UW's defense allows way too many points this season giving up more than 30 points in all four of their losses and two of those games they allowed 53 and 59 points. I like BYU here plus the 3 points to pull away and win in the 2nd half behind their tough running game and play-action.
