BYU has an 7-1 record, including a major win over Notre Dame, but has since lost to UCF and narrowly beaten Arizona State; running back LJ Martin is questionable. The article argues Utah’s adaptability and home advantage give it an edge over a BYU side relying heavily on quarterback Bear Bachmeier.
In short
