        Meh. They have a third string QB starting who can run but not a great thrower. Their defense is unremarkable. Also, they had to travel to SMU last week and then travel to Utah. I don't expect a blowout but I fully expect a BYU win.

          BYU will have Langi and Tuiloma back. With Travis I think the LBs will be able to commit more to stopping the running qb and passing attack. I think they hang around for the first 2.5 qtrs. After that they will get tired and the offense will get some big strikes to win by 17 or more.

            I only watched the first half of the SMU game, but I'm not scuurred. Their defense against SMU was vanilla. Their O-line was decent, but SMU's d-line is underwhelming. I know they beat Va. Tech and took Florida the distance, but a well prepared BYU squad should win by double digits at home.

              What about this squad?

                8 days to prepare!

                I watched the second half. Their tight end is a beast. Fast, blocks well, great hands, and he weighs 260. Their OL did a great job of opening holes for their RBs. Their backup QB managed the second-half well. They ran a lot of read-option, and he made good decisions. If he plays, I am not sure he'll beat us with his arm (although when he threw it, he found the open man). I'm a little worried about their hurry up.

                I think Tanner moves the ball easily against their D. As long as we win the clock battle, I still think we win, but I'm slightly less confident than I was yesterday.

                  ECU's starting QB, Kemp, is fine, but they also have a mobile back-up QB named Summers who has seen an increasing role over the last two weeks. Summers was originally signed by UNC but didn't qualify academically. After a community college stint, he came to ECU as a WR but is now seeing significant time at QB.

                        That makes one of us

                        This game feels weird. It's against a decent program, one that is better than a number of P5 programs, but winning won't feel like much and losing would hurt a decent amount. I wonder if this is how Nebraska, UCLA or Michigan feels about playing us.
