BYU’s 2010 offensive struggles, with four straight games of fewer than 20 points, included a 31-16 loss at Utah State on a Friday night. The current Cougars have failed to top 20 points in any of their four games this season, leading into Friday’s game in Logan.
Fewer than 10 years after I suggested that USU should no longer embarrass itself by scheduling BYU or Utah, my outlook has changed. Friday’s matchup might be the most fascinating of the season in this state, just because there’s so much mystery about each team – and because each program really needs a breakthrough.
