PK"s BYU Prediction
1320 KFAN Travels Full-time with the Cougars
West with consecutive unbeaten seasons.
Barely more than one year ago it didn't seem possible that BYU could steamroll through the Mountain West for the second consecutive season.
Yet, here we are, only a day away from it happening. Talk about an unbelievably quick turnaround.Only San Diego State stands in the way of more perfection for the Cougars. And stand there is about all the Aztecs do.
SDSU's defense is reminiscent of a Mexican bullfight, with a flash of red getting out of the way of the charging animal - or in this case, anybody with a football. As the staggering numbers prove, the Aztecs can't stop anything resembling an offense.
At least they are equal-opportunity bad. On the ground or through the air, the SDSU defense stinks.
All of which means the Cougars ought to leave American's Finest City on Saturday with a perfect conference slate.
The game should be good news for players such as Fui Vakapuna and Wayne Latu. With Harvey Unga still recovering from an anke injury, the reserve running backs ought to be plenty of action.
Quarterback Max Hall is another Cougar who had better be standing along the sidelines in the fourth quarter. The last thing BYU needs is for Hall to take another hit, thereby potentially aggravating his shoulder injury.
With the Las Vegas Bowl only three weeks away, Hall needs to make an early exit in a lopsided game.
On defense, the starters might have to stick around longer. While not the powerhouse offense of years past, the Aztecs have enough talent to punch the ball into the end zone.
I'm thinking this game should play out like BYU's performance against Wyoming in Laramie two weeks ago. The Cougars will take control early and ride out the time.
The one difference is San Diego State's offense is better than Wyoming's. For that reason, I'm going:
BYU 38, SDSU 16
