BYU at Nebraska

Nebraska has a new coach in Mike Riley, changing the offense to a pro-style attack. It is going to take some time for the offensive players to get in sync with the new coaching staff and playbook. At least the Huskers have some solid defensive talent, anchored by defensive tackle Maliek Collins. He is on the watch list for four different awards this season - the Lombardi, Outland, Nagurski and Bednarik). But it won't be easy to score on this BYU defense led by Coach Bronco Mendenhall, in his 11th season. Bronson Kaufusi (15.5 career sacks) returns to the defensive line after spending last season as a linebacker and leads a defense that ranked #14 in FBS in yards per carry allowed (3.28) and #20 in rushing defense (121.8). BYU also allowed 40 rushing plays of 10 or more yards last season, tied with East Carolina and Oklahoma for the second-fewest in the country. It's a balanced, ball control BYU offense led by RB Jamaal Williams and the UNDER is 13-5 in the Cougars last 18 games in September. Play this one to stay UNDER the total.
