So utterly arrogant. Archea and Waters will be the first to turn on BM, though.

I gave my honest opinion. We outgained them severely in the first game, despite forgetting about the existence of our best offensive player (Unga). Untimely turnovers (one returned for a touchdown and one preventing the go-ahead score) and an inability to block their DE also played a role. I am confident that Bronco has gotten those things worked out.

In addition, their 3rd string QB doesn't seem to be much of a passer, and passing is the only way to beat our D. He can run a bit, being a WR not a QB, and I assume he'll pick some annoying first downs that way, but that won't be enough to beat us. 31-14 seems reasonable in my view, assuming that we aren't extremely rusty.

If UCLA upsets BYU (not a bad bet among objective folks), I am going to win this thing. BigJoey7 made a career on trading against BYU fans' idiotic hubris. Of course, if BYU wins, I'm in last again. But the worm will eventually turn, I guarantee it. Waters, tell me up front, damnit, what's the prize for the winner here?
