BYU Football Bold Predictions: Cougars fend off late Pirates rally

BYU edges out East Carolina in strong showing from Tanner Mangum and Nick Kurtz

The first half of last game was not a favorable one for the Cougars. BYU was tied with a far inferior Connecticut team. But that's what turnovers will do. It doesn't matter how well a team moves the ball on offense, if they turn the ball over in the opponents territory, winning a game is going to be tough.

Despite his obvious talents, turnovers continue to plague Tanner Mangum. In four games as a starter Mangum has thrown five interceptions. East Carolina isn't a team prone to picking off passes, it only has three this season.
