Predicting The Season: Washington @ BYU

This will be the first game for either Jake Heaps or Riley Nelson as the new BYU quarterback, and this will be a good test for Washington to see if they are making the next step.  Also, this will be start of the Jake Locker hype machine for the Heisman for a player who has the skills but his team has never been all that great.

Normally it wouldn't matter.

But I think this game will be close… so early, mid, or late season will affect my vote.

Tough call

Home field advantage is big for BYU. Advantage BYU.
Quarterback play will be huge. Jock Licker vs. unknown newbie. Advantage WSU.

I give the edge to WSU due to experience. I will be watching to find out.

WSU?

As a Boise State fan, I’m going to let this slide, new conference friend.

UW aka University of Washington aka U-DUB aka NOT Washington State

Let’s clean it up in here gentlemen.

Boise State - The best in all the land (The "land" being Idaho, and large parts of California, Oregon, and Nevada.) Now also including Fort Worth, TX and coming soon this fall, Washington D.C.!

hehehe

I know the difference, it was a typo.

Sorry Cougars?

I’d be apologizing to the Huskies. Being confused with that team in Pullman (recently) is not what a program wants to happen!

Old enough to know better, too young to care.

perhaps

But it is for fun, plus I did put a fanshot up on the Washington site to help balance things out.

So tired..

of Jake Locker. I hope BYU kills.

by Cougarflounder on Jul 1, 2010 4:46 PM PDT reply actions  

He's legit...

you guys should know that. He carried an 0-12 team to within a blocked extra point of beating you guys 2 years ago.

And now he can pass too!

BYU 2010 Season with Heaps at QB.

Win Washington at home and Florida State on the road.
Give TCU and Utah the scare of their season.
With all of Air Force Improvements and high expectations, not good enough for BYU. SDS not as good as Air Force, but better than the rest not mentioned above.
10-2 conference season. Bowl game victory not known at this time.
Vs. (Whom or Where)

by optimist179 on Jul 2, 2010 3:05 PM PDT reply actions  

hmmm

your name fits how well BYU will do. I see them beating Washington, but not FSU. I think 10-2 is possible but that means beating two of the three from Air Force, Utah, and TCU, possible but difficult.
