Kragthorpe: Taysom Hill will make the difference for BYU

BYU will have to do something extraordinary to overcome Utah's five-game winning streak in the series, but nobody reigns in the rivalry forever. BYU was by far the dominant program in the 1980s, yet the Utes suddenly won 57-28 in '88. Nobody could have seen that coming.

In this case, BYU is just a three-point underdog on the road. That line suggests if the game were in Provo, the Cougars would be favored - even with Utah's lineup of Pac-12 athletes. So an upset hardly is out of the question.

Hill will have to be the difference-maker for BYU.
