s. Every team that has beaten Whittingham, he has beaten them the year after. That list includes TCU, UCLA, San Diego State, UNLV, Colorado State, Air Force, and Wyoming. The only schools to defeat Whittingham two years in a row are BYU and New Mexico.

Final Score: Utah 31, Oregon State 20

 

Friday, Oct. 3

No. 7 (4-0) (1-3)

Romney Stadium 6PM MT TV: BYU TV Radio: KSL Sports Radio

It is a wonder ESPN did not pick up this game nationally for its Friday night game because WAC schools do play a few weekday games, plus the game is not even offered on ESPN's pay per view package.  Luckily though, if you have DirecTV or Dish, the game is shown on BYU TV. For DirecTV it is channel 374, and on Dish it is on 9403.

On to the game. Well, we all know that BYU is an overwhelming favorite in this game, and Romney Stadium will be filled with a lot of BYU fans.

Also, Utah State fans will be bringing out the boos since they feel BYU stole star recruit quarterback Riley Nelson as he is currently serving his LDS mission.  Riley played his freshman season at Utah State and played quite well before leaving.

The big question will be how many points BYU can score and if they can continue their scoreless streak, which is currently at two games by outscoring opponents 103-0.  BYU will most likely do what they wish with Max Hall throwing at least two touchdowns, maybe three, and then the backups will be in sometime during the third quarter.

For BYU to keep up in the polls, the Cougars will need to give up no more then 17 points and win by at least three touchdowns. 

Final Score: BYU 41, Utah State 3
