Last week was a disaster for me in terms of tallying the scores, because of all the ties. I hate dividing up points among ties. So are going back to square roots and logs and such to break things up.

All right, this time I want you to predict the score as usual. Since I don't really know anything about this Wyoming team, I have had a hard time coming up with an interesting stat.

I want two other figures:
1) the difference in total yards between BYU and Wyoming (if BYU's total yards is higher, then your number is positive).
2) receiving yards by non-RB, non-TE, non-Austin Collie. In other words, how many yards receiving with the WRs for BYU have, excluding Collie.

I will take the square root and log of both these numbers.

Format:

BYU xx
Wyo xx
Total yd xx
WR yd xx
