My cousin Scott and I have a little wager over this game. He’s pessimistic about BYU, and so he says they will lose by at least twelve.
I’m optimistic, because I think our defense will do a good job of containing Air Force’s running attack. (Because Air Force’s option attack is meant to work by spreading the defense and getting outside, rather than just powering straight up the field. I think our defense has shown that they can move laterally very well, as long as someone stays home to contain in case of misderection plays.) And I think our offense will do better than last week. So I’m predicting BYU will win by at least seven.
If either of us is correct in his prediction, the other will buy the breakfast buffet on our trip down to Vegas next month.
