If rush is that weekend, there will be no fraternities or sororities at the game.

Hope it’s actually on the first Saturday of college football and not another Friday or week 0 opener.

Those Week Zero Openers are great for exposure . . . and TV money.

True, but generally speaking it’s minor league.

A late flourish helped, but BYU’s 2022 signing class might not be good enough when the Cougars join the Big 12 in 2023

---

Cougars’ signing class got much better last month, but is it too Utah-centric?

Keep in mind we will not be playing against their recruiting class from this year, these guys go on a mission overseas and after the freshman/sophomore years. We will be playing against 25 year olds and many are from Somalia (big boys on the line).

Independence Bowl -- Saturday, Dec. 18: In the regular season, especially in conference play, I prefer betting unders to overs. They hit more often. That changes in bowl season. While there's no clear trend to identify, overs are much more profitable during bowl season and this is one spot we can exploit. I'm not entirely sure how this game will play out. BYU could blow the Blazers out of the water here and completely overwhelm them, but if that happens, I see the Cougars getting into the mid-40s on their own. That would certainly help with the over.

I can also see UAB moving the ball successfully on this BYU defense. The Cougars rank 90th nationally in success rate against the run and 94th in EPA. In other words, there are routes to success available to both offenses. I don't see either coaching staff not taking this game seriously, so I'm banking on a high-scoring affair. BYU 34, UAB 24 | Over 54.5

Looking the prognosticators in the media up here it is 100% for BYU. I still think UAB “could” steal this one.
