Byu (-4) 26 UTAH STATE 24
BYU's offense has been very good in recent years, but freshman quarterback Jake Heaps has been horrible so far, averaging just 3.9 yards per pass play against teams that would combine to allow 6.2 yppp to an average quarterback. Heaps' numbers should be much better tonight against a Utah State secondary that has allowed 7.2 yppp to teams that would combine to average just 5.4 yppp against an average team. Utah State may not actually be that bad against the pass, as they were good against the pass versus both Oklahoma (4.8 yppp allowed) and Fresno State (6.1 yppp), who are both better than average passing teams. Their pass defense rating is skewed by last week's 15.1 yppp allowed to San Diego State, so they're not as bad as this season's overall stats make them out to be (I rate them at 1.1 yppp worse than average). However, Heaps is probably not as bad as his season stats look either and I expect about 5.6 yppp from Heaps in this game. It appears that Utah State's defense is just as bad as the BYU offense and I project 5.4 yards per play for the Cougars in this game.
