Taysom struggled to find guys when he had time, and he had more time than I expected he would. BYU's blitzes just could not get through his protection, giving him upwards of six or seven seconds to find open guys, and BYU's secondary is nowhere good enough to handle that. Wisconsin's quarterback, Stave, had a pretty good outing, completing 70% of his passes for 200 yards and a touchdown. They didn't break as many long runs as I expected, but they got he job done on the ground. The Badgers ran hard and ran effectively. The Wisconsin game went how I thought it would for BYU's defense. Honestly, that would be a disappointment.īut we'll have to wait and see what happens on Friday. If he cannot, the Cougars will lose, and have gone 1-3 against Boise, Utah, Wisconsin and Notre Dame on the year. If Taysom can get it done through the air, I like BYU's chances. Top-25 opponent, on the road, against a tough run offense. I hate to be a broken record here, but I see this as a repeat of the Wisconsin game.
Though if you factor in the 3-point home-field advantage, Vegas is actually saying they think BYU is three points better than Notre Dame on a neutral field, which is sort of interesting. Vegas has set this game at pick 'em, which means neither team is better than the other. I hope this is just a minor setback and not a more permanent regression, and this game will be a good indicator of which is the truth. He's got four interceptions to four touchdowns in his last two games, and one of those was Idaho State. That said, he's had a couple bad games in a row. Faster, better arm strength, better accuracy, you name it, Hill is better at it. This year, BYU has upgraded from Riley Nelson to Taysom Hill, who is better in every way from his predecessor. Jamaal Williams averaging 4.6 yards per carry, but only getting 16 touches. The Fighting Irish passing a total of THREE times in the second half, as they ran all day on BYU's defense. Highlights from last year's matchup: Riley Nelson missing a wide-open Cody Hoffman in the fourth quarter for what could have been a game-winning touchdown. I hope Notre Dame didn't trick BYU into giving them a 2 for 0 for nothing, but it sure looks like it right now.īut anyway, back to the game at hand. Notre Dame was originally supposed to come to Provo in 2014, but they pulled out and now there's not one scheduled. It seems weird to be playing at Notre Dame for the second consecutive season, and this will be the third time in a row since 2005. You can help add it.(Mike McGinnis/Getty Images North America)
