38-10 Irish. Offense is methodical despite a slower run game than in the past few weeks. BYU has no answer for our receivers and we get key conversions on third downs through the air by Gilbert/Faison. Carr looks like prime Rodgers and is on the money deep, medium, and short. Question of Absher vs. Augustine is deferred another week with Sully having another good performance. Line's protection is really good though run game is mucked up on a few occasions.

Bear has nowhere to go with the ball and BYU is impotent on offense. We get good pressure rushing 4 consistently with Young, Brewu and Traore having great games. Late TD gives a moral victory to the Cougar offense.

BYU fans are delusional as fuck. Maybe it comes with the territory when you’re dealing with people that fall for the magic underwear shit.

This is an emotional hedge. I don’t really have any data to suggest this other than I think their defense might be really pumped for this and perhaps have some success against us like Wisconsin did until the 2nd half, but I can’t see their offense scoring enough against us. 24-16 Irish

It'll look like "a game" for the first few series. BY the 2nd quarter, you'll start to see the talent, athleticism and depth advantages creep in for ND.

The only way you can get this team is to overlook you. Ain't gonna happen you're rocking a #8 next to your name. 35-13

I voted them in the 15-20 point win range, but suspect it will be more.
38-14. BYU scores early and then again very late.

Idk if I've ever seen a more annoying fanbase on the internet than BYU. Very much "middle child doesn't get enough attention" vibes. I just don't know how we will ever figure out how to play in elevation. ND has never ever experienced anything like this atmosphere (or is it stratosphere? how high is that stadium?!). It's almost like when we should've quit before heading to Blacksburg because of how intimidating Enter Sandman was....

In all seriousness, I'm sure Marcus and co. are loving having new material at their disposal to motivate the troops with a top 10 matchup on the road. No gimmicks. You're going to get this team's best shot, top 10 matchup on the road....the boys will be fired up and ready. Joe Burrow said it best recently, there's nothing quite like scoring on the road and shutting up a home crowd.

The fanbase is awful online... Now the Big 12 fans have jumped in and even some Ute fans.
