#17 West Virginia: BYU Loses at home 35-32 with 4 Turnovers


I won't argue your opinion, but I will argue a mistake in stating facts. First, no one is saying that the BYU defense is in the same tier as LSU's defense. And second, BYU played West Virginia in Washington, D.C. at the Redskins stadium. If that was a home game, I can't wait to see what the game in Houston is.

As for some stats, BYU gave up way too many yards between the 20s, but only 19.4 points per game--good for 15th in the country. It was an exercise in heart burn watching the teams churn their way into the redzone only to be turned away or forced into kicking field goals.

Don't ever bring up that Utah game, please.

I looked at Pitt's stats on offense in 2016 and all I see is points. If Canada can get a team to replicate that in the first game, let alone first year of his system, then you won't have him for long.

BYU fans are incredulous about a first game offense performance because of what we've seen from our own boys in the past when new systems have been installed. Who knows if that means anything when it comes to 2017's version of LSU, but that argument is not without merit.

I think lsu may start slow but should win by 14-17 after the second half .

Must be a liberal trying to erase that horrible Utah game history.

Beat a top 25 team outside of Provo this decade and you may have a point

Who else is going to pay him over $1.3 million dollars a year? Plus, if they do, we'll most likely match provided he is as good as is anticipated. $1.3 million dollars a year is more than most head football coaches make. So if he leaves it will probably be as the head coach at a major program.
