Default Predict BYU vs. Northern Iowa (2008)

Besides just the score, you must predict how many non-Unga RB yards will be gained on the ground, as well as how many non-Hall passing yards will be gained.


The totals will be added up as the difference in score, + the log of the difference between the non-Unga and non-Hall. Smallest score wins.

Write it like this:

BYU score: xx
NIU score: xx
non-Unga: xx
non-Hall: xx

BYU: 35
NIU: 14
N-U-R: 60
N-H-P: 65

extra prediction: the bulk of NHP yards will be from garbage time QB snaps, as opposed to Collie time QB snaps.
