State Your Case: BYU
2010 BYU vs. USU – Winner BYU. 2011 BYU vs. USU – Winner BYU.
No, this is no type-o, it’s going to be the same result.
While it’s true that this year’s edition of the USU vs. BYU game is going to be in the vaunted Spectrum, and as loud and intimidating as The Spectrum is, it’s not going to be able to make up for what the Aggies lost with the recently-departed seniors — especially down low.
While BYU lost Jimmer Fredette and Jackson Emery from the backcourt, it still returns Brandon Davies, Noah Hartsock, Charles Abouo and Chris Collinsworth in the frontcourt. They have size that, simply put, the Aggies are not going to be able to handle.
It’s going to be your typical close game. Of course, The Spectrum will pull through again, making up somewhat for what the Aggies are lacking in size and experience. In the end, though, the Cougars will once again prove too much for the Aggies and take home their second consecutive victory in the USU vs. BYU rivalry.
