Ok, predict the score. Then predict how BYU will do in terms of total yards, and then yards allowed on defense as compared to Utah.

Utah gained 446 yards.
USU gained 116 yards.

If you think BYU will gain more than 446 yards, give us the difference as a POSITIVE number.

If you think BYU will allow MORE yards on defense, give us the difference as a POSITIVE number. For example, if you think USU will gain 120 yards, your answer is '+4'.

I will do the whole square root and log thing on the last two figures.

Go like this:

BYU xx
USU xx
BYU total offense diff. xx
BYU total defense diff. xx

BYU 52
USU 10
BYU total offense diff. +65
BYU total defense diff. +85

For extra credit, I also predict that USU will take an early 3-0 lead, and that the CB chat room will spontaneously combust shortly thereafter.

Really under 370 yards of total offense against USU? Did SU take over your computer?
