The second season of BYU in the Big 12 is about to kickoff. On Saturday night, 3-0 BYU hosts 3-0 and no. 13 Kansas State in Lavell Edwards Stadium. BYU will be
wearing white throwback uniforms to honor the 1996 BYU football team, and the crowd will be wearing white as well. It's a whiteout after dark in Provo.
First, we feel like we've had a really good feel for this team through three games. Allow us to explain.Against SMU, the Mustangs were double-digit favorites. We picked BYU to win by 4 and the Cougars won by 3.Of all the games this season, however, this game is the hardest to predict by far. Avery Johnson is making his first conference road start. BYU's had a revolving door at running back due to injuries. Kansas State's secondary has not been great defending the pass.
At the same time, Jake Retzlaff has to be smart and protect the football. It's hard to imagine a scenario where BYU coughs up the football multiple times AND walks away with a win. Turnovers have plagued Retzlaff during his BYU career. That has to end on Saturday. Lastly, BYU needs to make Kansas State work for their touchdowns. What does that mean? Kansas State has returned more kicks for touchdowns than any team in college football over the last 20 years. BYU can't allow a special teams touchdown. They also can't allow a defensive score - something that plagued BYU a year ago.
