The Cougars did it, they managed to come back from a slow second quarter and get fired up for the second half. They rattled off 21 unanswered points in the second half to beat Air Force 38 to 24 setting up what is probably the biggest game in the history of the BYU-Utah rivalry. Never have both teams been ranked this high going into the game with the conference title on the line. They have both been ranked before but not like this and it's setting up to be something special. Both teams are fairly evenly matched in that the strengths of one team plays to the strength of the other and weakness goes against weakness.
Who will win out? I have no idea but it's going to be a great game. BYU holds a 2 game win streak after pulling out miracle plays 2 years in a row. One of the good things is that Utah has more pressure on them to win because they are currently undefeated and BYU will be the underdog going into Salt Lake. I give Utah the slight advantage since the game is on their turf, but in this rivalry, anything can happen.
BYU 34 Utah 28
Go Cougs!!
