I would like to start by addressing Uconn fans. I see a lot of great things in your teams future no matter what happens tonight. Keep your heads up. You can't expect a new coach to turn a team around in game one. Success will come but I doubt it will come tonight.
BYU fans this is why I think we will win. First of all the caution. I remember the opening game last year actually played less than an hour and a half from my house, at UVA. It was painful. But we were in the process of breaking in a new offense with a new offensive coordinator. We are a year into our system and our offense should be very strong this year. Their offense on the other hand was pretty pathetic last year and although I think in the long run their new system should do very well for them but as we remember from last year your first game in a new system can be brutal. It just seems like this is a game the Cougars should win. Of course if we go in with an attitude that this game is an auto win then we will be in trouble, but I don't think that will happen.
I think we could see a 40 plus scoring night for BYU and Uconn I believe will score 14 or less. So lets go with 42-10. I know that is a lot but that is just how I feel. If I am completely wrong and Uconn crushes us I will post an official apology, but right now I doubt that will happen.
Go Cougs.
