BYU Football: The ground game and other keys to beating Western Michigan

It’s bowl time for BYU Football.

The Cougars will take on Western Michigan in the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl on Friday afternoon, their final game of the 2018 season and first bowl game in two years.

And the season would look much different with a win instead of a loss. If they take down the Broncos, BYU finishes with a winning record, righting the ship measurably from a disastrous 2017 campaign.

A loss gives the Cougars their second straight losing season.

Finishing 6-7 would still be an improvement over last year, but a winning record would represent a much bigger step in the right direction.
