Re: Locke - BYU v. Utah Ultimate Stat Pack - Version #2 (Final Edition)
Said it all along that BYU seems predictable with their formations. Interesting to see the stats back it up. TCU seemed to have zeroed in on the BYU trends and knew what was coming. Let's hope Anae can mix it up to keep the Utes guessing, or else it will be a long day for BYU and Whittingham and Anderson can scheme with the best of them. And have the players to pull it off. I hope Anae has some new looks and variety waiting for the Utes.
