The BYU Cougars are a classic “hang around” team. Even if they seemingly can’t get the offense going, and the defense looks just average, they manage to find ways to hang around, and keep games close. They hit on the big plays both offensively and defensively at the exact right times, which was Washington’s major issue in the loss to Cal. I think we’ll see some of the same with RB Ty’Son Williams a really physical and elusive runner combined with Zach Wilson’s play making and athleticism. The Washington linebackers might struggle here.
BYU’s defense likes to drop a lot guys into coverage and has a very experienced secondary.
